Of course it says "Hey Everyone!"

Did you expect it to say "Hey Everyone! Except all you non-christians because I don't care if you have a good Christmas" ? That would have been offfensive.

:lol: :lol: :lol:
seriously jpol, you should consider moving to the states and joining the ACLU :P
not trying to make a fuss or enemies, but seriously,
all this extra attention to not offending anyone can be just as offensive
it's almost like the right to BE christian or celebrate christmas is being taken away
it seems that (in the US at least), its OK to bitch about christmas,
or saying "in God we trust" or "one nation under God" is offensive
but tell ONE person who has a stick up their ass "merry christmas",
and they'll chew your ass off.....wtf?

but im not being rude to those who dont celebrate christmas - im just saying merry christmas !!!

they say it on the telly in shops on CHRISTMAS CARDS !!!

they do not say it in order to offend anyone so just cos someone says in on this board they are then being offensive !

and i give my friends christmas cards - which say merry christmas - and none have complained so far

---

I did not say they were being offensive. I said people may be offended.

That is not the same thing.

You should really read the words. They give a clue as to the meaning.

if i celebrate christmas then isn&#39;t it my choice if i wish to say merry christmas to others who do

It is your choice to say it to whoever you want.

If you chose to ignore the fact that what is said in a thread here is to everyone, not just those who are like minded, that is a matter for you.

Is free speech still around? [/b][/quote]
I certainly hope so, along with it&#39;s cousin - responsibility for one&#39;s own actions.

You have to be offensive to offend people though.

You have to be responsible to say Happy Christmas now?

At what age should you be considered responsible enough to say happy christmas????

What&#39;s going to happen if my little brother gives a non-christian classmate a christmas card??? :o OMG he might get expelled <_<

J&#39;Pol-

See what hobbes started now? :lol:

Namzuf?

A Satanist?

Well, how &#39;bout that.

What a little stinker.

If I see him, I&#39;ll pull his pointy little tail, that scamp&#33;

Of course, he may just be trying to indicate he is a big fan of Miroslav Satan, the high-scoring right-wing who plays for the Buffalo Sabres of our National Hockey League. :)

Edit: On second thought, he may also be referring to Beelzebub Jones the international Cribbage star.

No - the chap tells me he is a devout follower of the Church of Satan.

Like I said earlier in the thread, I would not be best please if he were to start celebrating his dark festivals here. I think he should get the same treatment, it&#39;s only fair.

if he supports satan thats his buisness &#33; aslong as he doesnt drag me into it im not fussed &#33;
