I think this was on the front page. Woman is ****** off that Wal-Mart says happy holidays to greet customers instead of Merry Christmas. Who gives a ****, I wish they wouldn't say anything. I don't even see how this makes it in the newspaper let alone the front ******* page.

But this claims that is not a policy....I still say Christmas or not Walmart is ruining our country. There a bunch of ******* crooks.....What the lady wanted to say but couldnt was **** WALMART!!! :p

If some of these liberal **** heads have their way we won't be able to say "Happy Holidays" either because it relates too much to religious holidays at this time of year and may offend Hindus or Buddists who don't have a holiday now.

We're gonna end up with **** like "Winter Festival Sales" on ads instead so it won't offend anyone.

That is until someone decides they don't believe in Winter.

When is the PC bullshit gonna end? :mad:

My grandmother refuses to shop at Wal-mart because they will not use the word Christmas. Their trees are Holiday Trees rather than Christmas trees and they will not decorate for Christmas, either. She won't shop at Target because they are owned by the French. Personally, I am not going to stop shopping at either. A few people not shopping at stores that large will not get their attention. E-mails and letters would be much more effective.

I say we start boycotting establishments who refuse to include the word Christmas in their advertising.

I already E-mailed the superindendent of my kids school scorning them for their failure to include any traditional Christmas songs in my childrens musical program.

Next year, I will refuse to allow my children to participate in the "HOLIDAY PROGRAM" at school, unless Christmas, SPECIFICALLY JESUS CHRIST, is a part of the theme. If more people did this, I am sure we would see a turn around in the attitude exhibited by schools and business' during the Christmas season.

See, Wal-Mart is the spawn of all that is wrong with the world, at that's just further proof of the fact.

Hold on a second. You mean to tell me that the sixth largest retailer in the world... is French? No, seriously. The Target Corporation is headquartered in Minneapolis. They are a publically traded company. All of their directors, their president, CEO, all the way on down to the lowly team members - they're all American.

True, there is another foreign-owned corporation named Target. You can read more about it in the Wikipedia article.

That's great, but...She won't shop at Target 'because they are owned by the French'. I can tell her, my mother can tell her, everyone she knows can tell her that her perception isn't true. It doesn't matter. Once she has an idea in her head that's it. This is the woman that I have described in other threads as being so gullible as to believe every email that she gets. She is the typical paranoid old woman who still looks at the Enquirer as a credible news source.

I like Wal-mart. I have had people at Wal-mart wish me Merry Christmas and have seen decorations at the ones around here...Doesn't matter to her.

**** the PC rules. **** the wannabe mind invaders. **** the stores that refuse to hold true to our culture. **** the instigators of "Happy Holidays".

Christmas and Santa were hijacked from pagan beliefs way back when Jesus played quaterback for Jerusalem.

No way are the nay-sayers gonna hijack it back off us. Just say **** 'em, if they can't take a joke.

Phreak, you don't like people wishing you a merry christmas? Well **** you too.

**** anyone who wants to control how I think, how I act, how I live, how I get pleasure, how I work towards happiness, nor how I appreciate the little things that the kids in my world enjoy. **** that **** three times and sideways.

Merry ******* christmas. ;)

Maybe you hit the nail right on the head builder. I probably wouldn't mind someone wishing me a merry Christmas as long as I knew it wasn't because of some ******* PC taboo slip that might **** off someone else.

****, if I was at least a half *** follower of Christianity dogma, I would STILL wish a Merry Christmas to anybody who is NOT simply because it is more of a well to do wish for them, it's not so much of a ******* pain in anybody's ***. Nobody has EVER been hurt by being wished a blessed ******* day.

It's the same as a Muslim wishing me a happy Ramadan. Or a Jew wishing me a Happy Hanukkah. Or even some pagan **** wishing me a spiritual ******* enlightenment.

It's all good either way, so why ******* ***** ??

I really don't see myself picking up a ******* Qur'an and facing ******* Mecca to ******* pray just because one of my Muslim friends (or enemy)wished blessings of peace on me. So why would I ***** about it ??

PC just plain ****** me off. I still say we should start a trend for the holiday and all start being very extremly ANTI-PC and protesting business' and individuals who can't ******* merge with everyone else's ideals and let people practice the faith or dogma that keeps them a peaceful person, over ******** about something that represents their faith..

Oh, and **** YOU and your Merry ******* Christmas Builder.

I don't see this as an opportunity to bash other faiths. This **** belongs to the liberals.

I couldnt give a **** if the moslems in my area celebrate Edd, or the Jews Yom Kipur. Its a special day for them. Its OK by me. Presumably they don't care if the summer solstice/xmas is a point of celebration to me.

It's all **** dreamed up by **** heads to solve a problem that does not exist.

These ***** are sitting in well paid government jobs, itching to find some populist cause to support. **** you lefty parasites.

Well, I don't see anyone here bashing other faiths. The point is, our faith is being undermined, whether you are a protestant/catholic/agnostic/athiest/deist. It doesn't ******* matter. An established more is being changed to suit the wishes of a ******* minority who make assumptions about how words can somehow insult another minority. Jesus ******* Keeeerist.

And I couldn't give a flying **** what they are up to either. As long as it's not strapping ******* bombs to their bodies and coming to my ******* party without an invite.

I totally agree. More strawman crapola.

Calling them libs is no ******* help either. If it is a leftist slant, then how come the capitalists in charge of a major retail outlet are toeing the line?

Unfortunately you missed my joke. Didn't get my sarcastic tone across very well.

I never did understand why anyone would be offended by well wishing.

And I couldn't give a flying **** what they are up to either. As long as it's not strapping ******* bombs to their bodies and coming to my ******* party without an invite.
Can I get an "Amen"?

That's because the capitalist want to avoid being sued by the "leftist" (I remember you saying that "a liberal" is a little different to an Aussie) and not loose any of their financial capital fighting the lawsuit. It's easier, or at least more cost effective, to cave to them then it is to fight. :cool:
