More like the bitches complaining about Merry Christmas, or getting offended at red coffee cups. It's pretty sad that stores and other places can't even put anything that says Merry Christmas anymore because it offends people. And what the hell is a holiday tree? A palm tree? A holiday is when you go to a hot country for a week. lol.

Huh? Who is offended by Merry Christmas?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Have you met any of these offended people in real life?

Never ran into one myself, just hear about them a lot such as the ones who get offended at cartoons (like original post) and want them censored etc. Bugs Bunny is another one that has been found to offend people. Not like I keep track of this stuff, I just hear about lot of random incidents of people being offended at something ridiculous.

Isin't that kind of a known fact by now? Comes up every year how ridiculous it is that stores etc have to change anything that says "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" because people get offended by the word Christ. I think it's more an American thing though? Never really heard of it happening here.

Litterally no one IRL fits the bill he is discribing... Just someone who buys shit without first smelling the bag...

It's like reefer madness. Conservatives believe all kinds of dumb-assed shit about Libs.

It is definitely an American thing...There is a Christmas Village Market in Toronto you know. No one burned it down.

GTA kids do learn more about other holidays like Kwanzaa and Diwali.

It's the ritualistic donning of the cloak of victimhood & persecution by Christian conservatives.

I kind of figured, seems it's always in the states that this stuff happens. I don't know if things are different now but when I went to public school we'd even paint nativity scenes on the windows and stuff and everyone was cool with it. Had Santa Claus stuff too. Meanwhile in the states you constantly hear about stuff being ordered to be removed because it portrays religion. Like 100+ year old art. I recall one was a mural at a school or something. It had been there forever but yet someone got offended so it had to come down. Those are the same kind of people who get offended at the word Christmas.

The Canadian Constitution grants a position of privilege to Christianity, specifically related to education, allowing government support of Christianity in schools. The U.S. Constitution specifically disallows the use of government in support of religion.

We just had Santa Claus parade here in Markham yesterday. Traffic was a bitch.

Damn, don't drown under all that straw that you're shoveling

Happy Holidays from the 1950s



and a Season's Greetings from the 1930s



Damn but that war on Xmas has been going on for a while now.

 

[Lanyap]

You haven't heard of the decade-long and still ongoing War on Christmas? *tsk*tsk*

I carry when I'm carolling in case those commie libral bastages try to attack me.

 

[UNCjigga]

Still want to see the LAW that states such. Haven't yet seen anything even suggesting such. Please inform me with links to actual codified law. Thanks.

It's buried in those Sharia laws that were secretly passed a few years ago under Obama. So secret, Congress didn't even know about it. Only Obama's Shadow Government and Deep State are involved.

lol. that actually doesn't happen. It's contrived bullshit that you believe because you are too terrified to communicate with actual humans in their natural environment.

I always think it's weird when people call a vacation a "holiday."

exactly. they don't exist.

wake the fuck up. you are being happily gaslighted.

you've never left your house. You don't know jack shit about the states.

There's this thing called the internet that lets you know information about other countries. It has social media, news, etc. There's also this thing called TV. unfortunately our TV is bombarded with American news, because ours is too boring and not controversial enough I guess so we get quite exposed to American news. I know enough to know that I would not want to go or live there. It's like a war zone, physically and politically.

No it isn't.

I was mistaken and corrected it in another post but that's besides the point. My point was that minorities should not be able to just come here and change our laws because it offends them. We see this a lot, the motorcycle one was just an example.

"Come here" and "change our laws"?

Where to even begin?

Many Sikhs were _born_ in the West (whether US or UK), they didn't 'come here' (and in the case of the UK, they only came here because we went there - granted that's not directly applicable to the US or Canada, though in those cases almost all of you 'came here' at some point). Nor did they 'change our laws', as the motorbike helmet law is a recent one, that came in during my lifetime. The exemption for Sikhs, at least in the UK, was in that law from the start and Sikhs were here before the law existed.

But useful to know your gripe isn't really about religious privilege at all, but about those pesky 'minorities'.

(for the UK at least, the origin of the motorbike helmet law goes back to the case of Lawrence of Arabia, who was killed in a motorbike accident while not wearing a helmet...so there is a Muslim connection of sorts, I guess)

So; "I had no problem with it, so nobody else did either"? State sponsored indoctrination in Christianity funded by every tax payer; hey not a big deal, don't be a snowflake eh? Except to all the atheists, Muslims, jews, Hindus, Buddhists. But who cares? Just because you didn't bother to look doesn't mean that plenty of people didn't have a problem with this, and have been fighting for decades to end this nonsense! I don't know much about Canada, but in the US it's a constant struggle, and my native Norway someone had to sue the state to the human rights commission to stop Christian indoctrination of children in schools! But no big deal, you were cool with it..
