I dont like How people say merry christmas to me I dont celebrate it

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"][QUOTE="AutoPilotOn"]I always heard people were offended by stupid crap but never believed it. Now I see it's true.. Probably just kids crying. Grow up there r bigger worries in life than being offended about hearing merry christmasmems_1224

[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"][QUOTE="harashawn"] :lol: Merry Christmas means they wish for you to feel the love and joy that is associated with the season. There are no uterior motives involved in the phrase.gamer-adam1

I think some people are offended by it, because YOU do not have the right, to go to a different country, and tell us what we can and can not say, because of how it offends you, when you know dam well that if we went to your country we wouldn't be able to change anything.

Happy Holidays offends me, because I have removed religion from Merry Christmas, and 1000's do to, which is why you see Christmas trees, presents, Santa, reindeer, Santa's sled, and elves.

"Happy holidays" has no meaning. Nobody should be ashamed of the holidays they celebrate and hide behind such a pointless phrase. If you celebrate Christmas, say Merry Christmas, if you celebrate Hanukkah, say Happy Hanukkah, and so on. Happy Holidays serves no purpose but to make people think it is unacceptable to have their own beliefs and keep their own celebrations.harashawn

If "Merry Christmas" offends you then your going to have a tough life. I hate when random people say "how's it going" in passing when they really dont care at all. Just roll with it and move on. It's only for about 1 month of the whole year anyways. You could always move to Iraq where i dont believe that have that problem.Kurushio

Stop blatantly insulting others and putting down their religions so you can feel high and mighty.

Merry Christmas has no negative connotation. When said, the user means to wish someone well.

N***** is purely negative.

So you're not making an accurate comparison.

[QUOTE="Charazani"][QUOTE="harashawn"] Thank you, and have a merry Christmas.harashawn

Now that I tink about it, "Merry Solstice", "Happy Solstice" or just "Winter Solstice" sounds a lot less offensive than Happy this or Merry that.

But then again, what if people don't know what Solstice means !?!?

...

I only say happy holidays if I don't know or know if the person celebrates Christmas. If I do I say marry Christmas.

I think its kinda rude.. I live in canada we should start to say happy holidays not merry christmas I dont celebrate this holiday so why say it to me.. kinda akward..and ignorant to..

I think they shouldnt celebrate it in schools etc work place and stuff...

Banjo_Kongfooie is an embarrassment to humanity. He is the perhaps the only atheist I've ever seen take contention with the use of the term "Merry Christmas". Hardly divisive or religiously exclusive, taking that into consideration.

Banjo_Kongfooie

First of all why do you assume I am an aethiest, second of all if I am an aethiest of course I am the only one with this belief because your an aethiest maybe and I do not think like you so thus I am less aethiest right?

That is what republicans do, they say you are not Christian or patriotic if you do not support them. That very thing you just did upset me more than anything that occured last night because I got flashbacks to the Bush administration but I digress.

I never said it was religiously exclusive. I infact argued why ones would complain at the consumer and christian aspects of the holiday.

The fact is that Merry Christmas is a much more divisive term than Happy Holidays. While one can appreciate the possible kindness behind the notion the fact remains that Happy Holidays is the more correct terminology.

I think we all need to pitch-in and buy OP a pressure washer for Christmas. It seems like there is about 10lbs of crusty sand embedded in his vaginathegerg

Sexist and missing the point... The OP has everyrigh to be offended. I can not respond to all I have seen in this thread but I can not believe people are offended that Happy Holidays is the more appropriate term.

Seriously its called being sensitive to others and not shoving your holiday down others throats. Noone is offended at the intent but the terminology.

Anyways I need to stop replying to this thread. I have bigger fish to fry.

Your central premise, that "Merry Christmas" approaches being divisive is patently false. Moreover, the holiday season is a commercial clusterf*ck regardless, so at this point you have clearly demonstrated one thing: That you are an idiot.

Doesn't the bible also preach about not boasting in that sense? That those who boast about being saved are farther from god's gracethan they realizesince they proclaim their own judgement of satisfying the divine entity.
