Well I guess the title says it all, I was just wondering who ya'll thought were the most active 'forumers' in this part of the AG forum. Opinions, that what this Forum is going to be, pure opinions, and yes you can say 'Me'.
I don't understand why people get so up in arms about saying Merry Christmas. if you're JEwish say Happy Hanukah etc. Or just pick one. People shouldn't get offended because we're wishing you good things like a blessing.
I say Merry Christmas at work etc and I don't care what people think lol
I say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Being offended by that is an overreaction. In other news, just seven hours and four minutes until Christmas over here.
New Zealand. Australia's eastern coast time zone is two hours behind mine. It's 16:14 right now and daylight savings time is in effect over here and in Australia (I think).. We aren't the first to experience the rise of a new day, though we are among that group.
People get offended because religion is an immensely powerful force, i've never studied psychology, but I think that people who incredibly devoted to their religion believe that when they're told Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, etc. they think that the person their talking to is acting as if his/her religion supersedes the individuals.
I never thought that people were "superceding" my religion if they wish me a Happy Hanukkah. I think it's mostly the odd few (and I think it's the very odd few to be honest) who get OFFENDED at everything regardless of if it's religion, politics, whatever. And their voice is sadly the loudest.
I have never personally come across someone who has been offended by my Merry Christmas, and I've never heard of it actually happening in my circle of friends and family: hence my current conclusion
