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 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?").

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
