F "Happy Holidays"!

:rant:

I'm sick and tired of people wishing me "Happy Holidays!"

"Welcome to ---------, Happy Holidays."

"Thank you for shopping at -----------, Happy Holidays!"

It's Christmas dammit! Followed by New Years! If you don't want to wish me a "Merry Christmas", you might as well say, "Go F yourself!"

If you want to wish me . "Merry Christmas, welcome to --------"

Or, Happy Hanukkah, welcome to -------------"

Or you walk into a Chinese restaurant and they say, "May a 1000 blessings be bestowed upon you."

I'm cool with that!

This "Happy Holidays" a-political crap, is for the birds! Even if you are agnostic, pagan, Jewish or whatever. You are getting time off from work because of a Christian Holiday! The celebration of the birth of the Christian savior, Jesus Christ!

Even though it's been proven that Jesus Christ was born in the Spring and not the Winter. That in order for Germanic people to more readily accept Christianity, they chose this date because middle Europeans already had a Winter celebration that included Santa Klaus.

If you don't want to wish me a "Merry Christmas" then don't say anything at all! This "Happy Holidays" crap, you can sit and spin on it!

Rant over. Carry on!

I'll say Merry Christmas on Christmas, it makes sense & I'll say happy holidays during the holiday season, it makes sense...but I never actually need to say these things to anyone other than friends & relatives...so whatevs and latresonthemenge ;)

I want to rant on how much I hate political correctness, but I think that was well summarized by JOAT raising the point that it's 3 holidays rolled into one period, so really, Happy Holidays is fine.

BUT! What I'm against is anyone telling anyone else to say anything. Store X tells their employees to say Y so you don't offend Z. That's bull shiz.

If you want to wish me a Merry Christmas, a Happy Chanukkah, a Happy Kwanza, or even a Happy Holidays, that's fine. And I will wish you a Merry Christmas in return (I am aware of the irony that I am in fact a staunch Athiest, but as a Pagan, I'm probably more in the right celebrating the commercialized sun-worship "Christmas" we all know and love...but that's another rant for another day).

What blessing you want to bestow on others is your decision alone, and no company policy should be a factor in that decision (But I'm against corporate spiel altogether after working at Macy's; "Hi, I'm Captroop. How may I provide you with excellent service today?").

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
