War on Christmas

nah its mostly the nutty right-wingers who want more persicution of thier beliefs, so they can whine about how unfair people are well as a walmart employee i can without a doubt tell you that what people are circulating, is 100% grade-A Bullshitwalmart would never force anyone to say what they don't want to say, the fact is there are 3 greeting we do, and all 3 of them get complained about!
say merry christmas, get someone who complains about how offensive that no other religions are being thought of, say happy holidays and people complain about how christmas is being ignored, but its the only holiday that matters.
then we have the third one, not saying anything about holidays at all, thats what i do, i could give a crap if you have a happy whatever, i'm just glad its over! but people complain about the fact that we don't say happy anything, as if its a crisis if we don't
you just can't win! i might agree with you, but its kind of narrowing your view of other peoples points, not everyone celebrates christmas, how would you feel
if someone wished you a happy winter solstice?i think flipping out and screaming at the person is a little much, but having someone wish me a marry christmas is ignorent of others religions, its a sure sign that the person doesn't care about anything outside of christianity
yes a majority of people are christians in this country, but not everyone is a christian, so i do consider it rude to assume they are, so IMO happy holidays is a better greeting to people you don't know to a lot of people it is, personally they should rename the secular holiday of the winter celebration and present giving to something else and let christians have christmas back, but christmas is really pretty meaningless to most people anyway, but most still consider it linked to christianity, becuase thats how they grew up on it, for many generations it was a religious holiday, but over hmm the last 20 years its become more secularized, but not to the point of it not being identified with christianity i don't think forced is the right word, more, i think, assuming a view of all people, by saying merry christmas, i look at it as an annoyence, when someone assumes i celebrate xmas, simply because its close to it, it simply seems like people who say merry christmas are ignoring others in favor of this holiday yes sir, the analogy just died a bitter death i think walmarts execs are a bit smarter than that, walmart may like the downhome christian image they try to perpecuate, but they would insult a ton of people who arn't christians, jews, athiests, muslims,pagans,etc oRLY? you may claim you wouldn't be offended by a greeting from someone you hardly know, but i doubt that very much, you might try to not be but like everyone else, you would be a bit. thats why happy holidays is better, everyone has some form of winter holiday in every religion i think it is bad manners, i think your religion is irrelevent to me and can bring only bad connotations rather than good for most people it is christian, it doesn't matter if you focus on santa or christ more, the holiday is christan, by the very fact of the name and were it came from, plus more people celebrate it about christ than santa, its the only time a lot of people go to church even, the mind of most people believe its christan, so it is by most people well then i guess you can't be offended by anything then, i've head a few christians complain about the happy holiday stuff when they want people to say merry christmas, its idiotic both ways maybe it isn't to you, but to most of the rest of the world it is it is to people who might be jewish or muslim or people who find chistianity offensive, or the person might find your assuption of them being christian offensive maybe they tried to do this, but i've been working there since 2004 and they never asked us to do anything like that about the same with conservitives really, its like poking a bear with a stick, but liberals are more squishy than conservitives, who on the other hand can be so dense they wouldn't know humour if you smacked them with a sign with humour!! in big letters and neon as i said, its bullshit, no one, no matter how little they care about employees like the owners of walmart, would do such a thing and get away with it
there are too many people who are religious, who work for walmart, for them to make such a stupid movethey may have tried it, but walmart knows how far they can bend something before a majority of buyers complain

really? when the dominent religion is christianity and there are more people who are right-wing that middle or left? i think it depends on what the subject is, and yes i think its bias to claim that the left bitchs more. i consider myself middle, rather than left or right, i hold some conservitive views and some liberal, but mostly middle thats just you though, not everyone views it like you, thats the point i'm making, christmas still has more religious meaning that you claiming it does
when infact most people who celebrate it, consider it religious yes you grew up saying it, so what? your argument just sounds like "i don't care about what you think, i'll say what i want and you can go screw yourself or suck it up" where did i say that we should do this? i was pointing out that a lot of people if not most do consider the greeting to religious, which you said most people don't, why shouldn't we change it? it works ok if theres just christianity, but not everyone is a christian thats a great assumption on your part don't you think? one thing i've learned working at walmart is never to assume anything, because i'm usally wrong, which is a good thing to keep in mind my sarcastic way of saying, your analogy sucks the fact is a language is only a form of comunication its not a religion, so how exactly can you compare them? whats it about then? the whiny ignorent christians that believe that from dec 1st to jan 1 its all about jesus and america being a christian nation means no heathen religions get a fair shake? i tihnk its just ignorent and unfair to those that don't celebrate a holiday, thus really being meaningless so, only because you think it doesn't, that it doesn't to everyone else? personally if it wasn't for my family, who are mostly christian anyway i wouldn't celebrate it, i could careless about celebrating the birth of someone who we can't ever know existed or when thats my point, you don't know this, happy holidays is better because it doesn't assume something about someone you just met, i find it better to use HH, because you might find someone who truely doesn't want to be told marry christmas, for what ever reasons really on what athority are you making this claim? because, they do consider it a christian holiday! really CS its not a hard thing to figure out, most muslums do consider it a christian holiday and why the heck would jewish people celebrate christmas?, if you think nearly a bilion people is a small number i'd wonder what a big one is to you
athiests and non-relgious people only call it xmas because thats what they grew up with, if they made up a secular holiday and called it "buy-lots of crap you don't need" day they would call it that both sides do this, different reasons, cons for money,power and control. dems for absurd idealist, squishy brotherly love hopesthe truth is say what you want, but don't be surprised if people get mad and wonder, thinking about the whys are there, but as far as i can tell you don't seem to step outside your own box much, i do understand your points, its easier, feels normal, and have been doing it for years
