This thread sucks.

Has anyone mentioned that Xmas has pretty much nothing to do with jesus anyway unless you want to lie about when he was born?

I never said that, they benefit from CAPITALISM.

What do you have against Christianity and do you share those same views towards other religions?

So what you are really trying to say is that Christmas has almost nothing to do with actual Christians, or at least the vast majority of them, and has almost everything to do with capitalism and therefore google should pay homage to the almighty money maker that is Christmas?

No, Google and other corporations make a lot of money off Christmas so they should at least be respectful and say Merry Christmas instead of the pc crap

Because it doesnt just last for one day, Do people only say Merry Christmas on Christmas?


How do you feel about the stone cold fact that big retailers decide when Christmas actually "starts" (since you imply it isn't just a one day thing)? Shouldn't that be a far greater outrage than this petty bullshit you are caught up on?

Its funny, you evidently have no problem with big business doing nothing but exploit Christmas for their own monetary gain as long as they say Merry Christmas but if someone or some entity says Happy Holidays you get all pissy. Personally I would be pissed at the exploitation part and wouldn't give a fuck about the later but thats just me.

Bah, you Christians aren't respectful of Christmas. When I see Christmas being treated respectively by people who follow the religion I might give a damn but until then its PRESENTS PRESENTS PRESENTS!!!!! Oooh, and some yummy turkey and pumpkin pie. Thats what the vast majority of "Christians" celebrate.

As proof I submit that 95% of Christians spend at least 10 times the amount of time thinking about gifts they want and purchasing gifts for others than they do even thinking about what the holiday is really supposed to be about.

Again, of all the things that, at least from a Christians point of view, that are wrong with Christmas you pick the most inconsequential and retarded issue to get all pissy about.

Remember that they are responding to the market/customers, the customers are the ones who buy the products, the Christmas season starts roughly around November to mid-November and the customers want that. So what is the problem? Even if corporations start selling early, it is the customers who actually buy them

How can you not see anything wrong with happy holidays? Hindus dont celebrate any major holiday around this time so how does saying that to them help?

So your counter argument is that the Christians decided to stop celebrating it as the birth of Jesus and instead turn it into this huge commercial clusterfuck? I don't see how that helps your argument but ok, I'll go with that.

Why does Christmas start in mid-November? Has it always started then or has it been more recently when as you imply the Christians decided to make it about money?

That is not what I said.

It starts then because that is the Christmas season, yes there are some "Christians" who make it about money but this war on Christmas is about Christianity and must stop.

Why does anyone give a shit
Faux outraged and supremacist trolls do.

The prejudice that all in certain multi-cultural societies must be expected to celebrate the same religious holiday can most certainly be offensive. Good on Google for recognising the complex reality while keeping up the holiday cheer.

Trolls such as Incorruptible will always go out of their way to find offense or fabricate it in order to further their racist rants against targeted groups and advocate the supremacy of their personally attached group.

The likes of Incorruptible -- not Google -- are among the greatest problems in society and even on into the health of this forum.

Why "must" it stop? Because you say so? Who are you to say what these people can and cannot do in their wishing of holidays and such? Who made you GOD?

Because it is an attack on the religion. I love the hypocrisy here, attack Christmas and Christians and the idiots here will defend it but say anything about Islam and your a racist, love the double standards. Thanks for exposing them

Why did they use "Happy New Year!" instead of happy holidays today? It's a holiday and part of the holiday season.

So you want to force everyone to use Merry Christmas? What hypocrisy? I say people can say whatever they want. You're the one wanting to force it the other way.

It's amazing that people like you want government out of everyone's lives so that they can be "more free" but like to push your own fucking ideals into their lives. Talk about a hypocrite.

I cleared my "ignore list" last night to give EVERYONE a fresh start in 2013. It won't last long here.

I dont want to force people to say Merry Christmas, I believe they should, there is a difference. I dont want government to force them but I will verbally attack those who say "happy holidays"

Happy Holidays, Incorruptible.

You misunderstood me, I said I would criticize them and tell them that there wrong but I would not use violence.

Answer this, what is so hard about saying Merry Christmas? Most people dont get offended and if they do so what

Then why are you saying it "must stop" above?
