All the muslims (all three of them :D ) we know say merry christmas to us, and we to them. Its just something you say anyway, cause none of us are christians. :)

I say merry christmas to anyone i want, and nobody can do a damned thing about it.


It's only socialist liberal countries like the US who have issues with this clearly.


LOL!!!

;) :rofl :aok

I respect you, but I am curious how you'd handle it. You have a wife and kids. And the classic American ego, which is not a bad thing.

I met this American guy in Russia, Tim Strauss. Big time freeflier, 8000 jumps, member of one of the best freefly teams in the world. Turns out we have a mutual friend. Classical American ego. Arrogant son-of-a-*****, but likeable as hell. His reaction pattern was immediate and very consequent. But he was a single guy, professional skydiver who can afford to tell others to go to hell.

What do family men, fathers do? Some I'd imagine let others stomp them because others depend on them. I don't feel you fall into this category. So watcha gonna do when it happens?


Oh, its happened, thus my "Come prepared with data to back up your claims" :)

Was watching a programme last night on Irish TV. It was a feature on the US ambassador to Ireland for Thanksgiving.  The Ambassador held a party for thanksgiving and invited one and all. Apart from the usual suspects this included the local leaders of the Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus etc. None were insulted and all turned up in their best frocks and hairdos.  I dare say most would be invited to the Christmas party and the the July the 4th parties with the same result.

It seem to me sometimes that only in part of the US and Britain is this kind of hypersensitivity rampant among the PC brigade. Ignore them.
