It's not even the 24th yet!
I would hate to be a moderator here on Christmas Eve, at this rate.
Or maybe I'd enjoy it...
Maybe a single thread should be left open so that people don't waste anymore bandwidth and run the tiny risk of damaging the database for this forum.
So... is anyone else driven crazy by that Anti-Culturally Tolerant and Multi-Cultural Society that we've ended up with because of all those bloody lawyers?
I don't know what it's like in other places, but it's crazy in Canada... Companies and cities calling a tree the "Holiday tree," because they're afraid to follow any end-of-December tradition other than "Lawyers Kick Christmas's Arse Day." It's like they're afraid to admit that people have a cultural background! I'm not Christian, but I celebrate Christmas and it could be argued that it is a tribute to my ancestors or such... The same as I am not offended by someone who celebrates Hanukkah or the like, I do not think anyone else will be offended by me celebrating Christmas -- unless they are dumb and deserve to be offended; the same as I am not offended when someone is stronger than me because I'm sitting at a computer all day.
However, myself and many other people are very offended by people deciding that it's a bad idea to express oneself, since it is denying everything that many countries these days claim to stand for, and have been working toward for a long time.
...Oops... I've created a monster!!!
