Stupid Political Correctness

[nwshc]

As you may or may not know, there is a sizable debate going on in the USA. This debate is over the Christmas tree.
The debate is whether we should call it what it is, a Christmas tree, or somehow respect the other religions and call it a Holiday tree.
Now, I do not know about you, but there are no other holidays that use a tree.
So, what should we call it?

[[email protected]//]

just call it a christmass tree..its not offending anything and its a perfect simple name.they should just leave it alone

[Whisper]

its called a christmas tree
they don't like it
i don't care
they dont have to have one
they dont have to call it that

but i'm not going to change something like that for such a stupid reason

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

hahaha so i see nick watched the Factor tonight :D

[///James///]

omg its amazing how the topic can be of something importance one day (iraq, bird flu ect) then a slow news day results in a debate over a christmas tree!!

its a christmas tree, always has been called that. christans and other religions celebreate it, but those who dont, just call it what you want, we dont care, its the name that was made and its sticking

[redcar]

correct me if i am wrong but wasnt a christmas tree put up to celebrate the birth of Jesus therefore if is a christian ritual, why should it be changes at all. if people dont like it they can just feck off and stop interferring.

[nwshc]

hahaha so i see nick watched the Factor tonight :D
pft, no.

Boston was the start of this you tard.
On the Boston city website it said "Holiday Tree"
Some church dude got pissed and threatened to sue the city for that.
The news interviewed Tom Manino, he said he calls it a chirstmas tree
Mitt Romney calls it a Holiday tree.

so pwned

[Dante]

I personally think it should remain being called a christmas tree...as fas as I know, other religions don't use the pine tree....Chanukah(sp?) and kwanza use the candle thingies...

* I hope I did not offend anyone by saying the candle thingies, but I cannot think of the proper name, right now

[nwshc]

Menorah

[Dante]

YES thank you so much, i could not think of it for the life of me.

[serial-thrilla]

thats the stupidest fucking shit ever. i hope most americans dont agree with that or well theyre stupid. its a christmas tree. if you dont like it then move to iraq.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

oh nick please i know u watch the factor all the time. too bad ur govenor sucks and lies to change tradition.

[nwshc]

oh nick please i know u watch the factor all the time. too bad ur govenor sucks and lies to change tradition.
I used to, but not anymore. Better things to do.
My govenor will be prez, so start likeing him

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

ha. if your govenor was prez i would shit a brick...



and then shove it down your throat

[TheWizard]

It should be called a Holiday Tree.

[Whisper]

It should be called a Holiday Tree.

No it shouldnt i dont agree with that
Josh Christmas is a Christian holiday its when jesus was born
It should be called a christmas tree

[Ravenous]

I dont really care, everyone should be able to call it what they like.

[redcar]

i think i would be real adament on this that is remain a christmas tree. its a christian tradition for a christian holiday, so why should we change it.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

that would be like if i called the menora the "holiday candle centerpeice"

its utter bullshit. its our religion its been named that for two millenia thats how it STAYS

[serial-thrilla]

delete.

[serial-thrilla]

It should be called a Holiday Tree. christmas is a christian holiday. if you dont like it dont celebrate it.

[ThePhantom]

ITS CALLED A FUCKING PINE NEEDLE TREE AND PUT UP IN YOUR HOUSE TO DISPLAY THE SIGNIFIGANTS OF WINTER AND THE PLANTLIFE THAT COMES WITH IT; ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY

there, now everyone shut up :)

[serial-thrilla]

no thats stupid, noone would put it in theyre house if it werent for christmas

[redcar]

exactly its a Chritian tradition, for a Christian holiday, hence Chritmas Tree.

[Whisper]

[Whisper]

Yes well we dont go to war every two seconds so we dont need huge mobile hospitals to try and save our wounded troops

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

As I told you before, this hospital ship provides free health care all over the world. This provides thousands of people relief from ailments that they are unable to afford treatment for. This ship sails to the poorest nations and brings the best medical technology to people who can't pay a dime for it.

Over the last decade:

2 million children were killed in conflicts.

Over 1 million were orphaned.

Over 6 million were seriously injured or permanently disabled.

Over 10 million suffered grave psychological trauma.

umm.. The tree is for one religion's holiday. Christian's, and that holiday is christmas. Hence it's called the christmas tree. It's not offending to other religions, they don't even celebrate christmas. Why would they care?

You don't see us changing those little candles for honica's name into holiday condles.... Seriously, the point of the tree is to celebrate xmas. Not honica. Not quanza. Xmas. It was invented to celebrate the one holiday, xmas.. Not every holiday. So it's not called the holiday tree, it's called the christmas tree...

Some people need to just grow up. Honestly.
