I do not consider it being PC, but rather being sensitive and respectful. This country was founded by brave people believing in tolerance. I think practicing it now is a good thing. It should be a source of pride rather than anger.

The early European Puritan settlers didn't believe in tolerance. Even though they were trying to escape perceived intolerance, the only tolerance they believed in was that they all thought alike.

How to you explain tolerance when women were burned at the stake or drowned by no less being accused of witchcraft? They would tie you in a chair, sink you in a lake and if you drown, you weren't a witch. If when they raised you, you were alive, you were a witch! Then, they would burn you at the stake! Real f'ing tolerant!

Or how the Europeans kept pushing the Real Americans (Native Americans) further west to satisfy their need for ever more land. Or if they didn't keep relocating they put them on reservations, or worse, killed them. Real Tolerant! At least the French lived among the Native Americans.

Oh, Merry Christmas!

I agree. People spend way too much time being upset about some imaginary war on a holiday.

let people, mainly businesses, greet people however they want. If it'll help a biz make money, let them say "praise the ice god maru" if they want.

"Praise the Ice God Maru!" I like that! :cheers2:

A very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear

On Christmas day, I've never said or been told anything other than Merry Christmas.

As far as stores, they do it for the money, nothing else.

You can say that about 50% of the threads started on this website.

They did not have the advantage of the knowledge and world view we have. They wanted tolerance for themselves. In the 21st century I think we can do more with that. I know I can.

Merry Christmas to you.

'Christmas' comes from stories and myths and has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity. I hate this holiday has been made a holiday full of stupid religion, why can't it just be a cool holiday? I don't think it's wrong to say Christmas, but it makes you look pretty stupid since it has nothing to do with 'Christ'. But this is what people know I guess you had to call it something, I would have prefers something cooler. That is why I prefer Holiday I wouldn't force any to say it though because honestly I don't really care that much.
