mcjeff215 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Cool! Thanks for the Christmas gift! 875807[/snapback] We just had a thread on the X-mas vs. Christmas thing a week ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas. X-mas is not due to the PC crowd. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Oh noe! Someone is overly sensitive! 875860[/snapback] It is the "War on CHRISTmas!" What a load of Fox news crap. I ain't stopping you from praying or buying things at box stores. I wrote x-mas because it is shorter to type. Listen to Rush some more you ditto-head.

SDS Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 We just had a thread on the X-mas vs. Christmas thing a week ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas. X-mas is not due to the PC crowd. -Jeff 875859[/snapback] Although maybe that is all technically correct, what small fraction of a fraction of a percentage of people actually know any that stuff? Of all the times you have read "x-mas" you could probably count on one hand the number of people who would recite anything from that wiki entry.

That's my goal. The "Holiday Tree" crowd bugs me, too. I personally believe it's right to keep the religious origins, that's what it's all about, after all. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is ever written with malicious intent, but never-the-less it has a bit of a secular feel to it and thus tends to aggravate thhose who actually celebrate the holiday beyond buying a bunch of crap and shoveling it out.

Cornerville Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Oh noe! Someone is overly sensitive! 875860[/snapback] Just imagine if the X was placed on another holiday what the uproar would be like.... I stand for what I believe in, end of story.

Chilly Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Just imagine if the X was placed on another holiday what the uproar would be like.... Are you really trying to argue that if it was, say, X-ween that people would be pissed? I stand for what I believe in, end of story. 877064[/snapback] And you overreact to things people do because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
