allright, sound off on how you feel about all of this......

1 - lougheed, oakridge, and royal center malls tell the salvation army donation collectors to stop ringing their bells. they say it's too loud and annoying and disruptive. after a load of replies from people, the 3 malls say it's ok to ring the bells....as long as it's not all the time and not too loud.

my solution.......do not shop at those malls.

2 - apparently in australia, the people that dress up as santa (for malls, etc) are told not to say \"hohoho\" because it's a derogatory american term. they should say \"hahaha\" instead. also, they shouldnt dress to be so fat because it promotes obesity. and kids shouldnt leave cookies for santa anymore because they're not good for him.

.

i'm not a religious person, i dont love christmas but i do like it, i respect peoples cultures, beliefs and opinions.....but some things are being taken too seriously here.

i think some people need to lighten up and just roll with the season and let it be. celebrate it the way you like to celebrate it and enjoy the fact that others may like to do it differently. thats what makes it all so special. difference.

Why is it that mainstream Western culture needs to be sensitive to other cultures, beliefs and ways of life but it isn't the other way around? Should it not be a two way street? People need to relax and find something better and more constructive to do with their time.

I won't get into details, but the TV station I work at was going to go with the slogan \"Merry Holidays\" for their Christmas Greeting. I said \"whaaa?\" and was told it was mandated from above. I went to the CEO and said we were pushing the boundary of wishy washy, in the end, we will say \"Merry Christmas!\"
Politically Correct has gone too far...

Politically Correct has gone too far...

Since we are on the subject... PC means that nobody means what they say and nobody says what they mean. You can't even joke about you own ethnicity because someone may find it derogatory. If you use a term that is sexist, different for a male and a female, you are a sexist pig (even if male and females are really different.)

I have a great deal of respect for people whom leave one country for another one in search for a better way of life for their family. That takes a lot of marbles. We all know that we are fortunate to live in a country where you are allowed to practice any religion you choose. However, whether one is religious or not, Christmas is the Celebration of the birth of Christ and Happy Holidays just doesn't do it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Freaking New Year.

I say cancel it all. While were at it, we should cancel easter too.

and you think I'm joking?

I say we get rid of the entire Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and what have you and go back to what it really is. Screw them all, if they want to be truly correct we should all start saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Let's see them have a problem with that. Screw the politicians, screw the religious extremest, and Baa F***ing humbug to the rest. End of rant, go back to your merry ways.

But then you would be offending the JWs. They don't believe in celebrating birthdays.
