Heads Up! Question for the Membership - Christmas Banner
« on: December 18, 2010, 01:06:02 PM »
The Admins have posted a "Merry Christmas" (and Happy Hanukkah) banners in the forums to honor the Holidays, as is quite apparent.......however, it appears that not all  are happy with it.

The following email message was sent to the Admins (anonymously).  It should be noted that this email can easily come from a non-member, simply by clicking on the "email the Administrator" link on the Home Page......in short, anyone could have sent it, not necessarily a member:

Hi,

The banner at the top of your forum is offensive and should thus read "Happy Holidays from the Conservative Cave". This is less offensive and more inclusive to those who don't celebrate Christmas. The only other option I can see if putting a banner up for every single holiday, however this would be a waste of time thus you should use Happy Holidays instead.

Please think of others over this holiday season.

Happy Holidays

Considering the season, and the "Spirit" thereof, I thought that y'all might want to weigh in on the issue.  Let us know what you think

Since Christmas is an official American holiday as well as being a religious one, I am sure the complaint comes from a DUmmie of some ilk.  Perhaps even the one that was banned twice recently.

I think it is a very nice banner and fits the season.

As far as I'm concerned whoever wrote and sent that email needs to take the stick out of their ass!! They can kiss my lily white ass, too!! While I don't mind recognizing certain holidays or groups, their complaint is beyond ridiculous. Don't like it?? Don't come here. :bigbird:  


Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah !!!


Now, bugger off.....

Too bad.

If you don't want to see "Merry Christmas", come back after Christmas.

You would think that Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas would just about cover it for a judeo-christian nation ...

I don't celebrate Christmas and I think it's fine. I'd be fine if it was the only one here, though thanks Thor!

As for the person who wrote that message: How bout a nice big glass of shut the **** up.

As for the admins: leave it as it is.

So, some ****ing *****, too weak to send a note with their name on it is not happy with a Merry Christmas banner? Who the **** cares what this piece of shit is happy with or not. It is Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Judging from the email address, the person that sent the email is not even a member here. Were they a member, I MIGHT take into consideration their complaint. However...... would I do anything about it?? Doubtful. One must bear in mind that some 75-80% of this country are Christians. Another smaller percentage are Jewish. After that, it would be too tedious to address every particular belief. I don't think that we're so petty & closed minded that we can't accommodate a majority here. IF any member has a complaint, feel free to address it either via PM or here. BTW, Mjolnir is Asatru, so consider that for a moment....  :loser:

Keep them both.  I only know for certain that one of my friends on Facebook celebrates Hanukkah, and I always wish her a Happy Hanukkah, and she does the same with Christmas for me.

Don't fret it. From what I've heard it even caught some of our Jewish friends off-guard. When it first arrived I saw a Happy Hanukkah ad on FOXNews and said to myself "Isn't it a bit early?"

I don't understand the whole notion a being offended by other people celebrating whatever they want to. Other ethnicities doing their thing don't offend me. I go and join in some of them! I say to the person who wrote it. If you are offended by freedom you are in the wrong country so get the hell out!  :bigbird:

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
