[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 107608, member: 84"] I'm so against political correctness that I refuse to do it. lol Now, I don't have a blasted thing against anyone/lifestyle/religion or whatever. It's just with political correctness you simply can't win. So called acceptable phrases change too often, have the potential to change too often to keep up with them all and make everyone happy. It's impossible to make everyone happy all the time. So I refuse to worry about it. If I know someone special to me is celebrating a certain holiday I'll wish them a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukka, or whatever it happens to be and mean it. But if I don't know you and happen to pass on a heart felt Merry Xmas don't rip my head off, I'm not a mind reader. Anyone who wants to wish me a Happy whatever, heck I'm pleased, not insulted. And with political correctness you have the risk of going to the extreme. Thin Santa, no Ho Ho Ho. No more Cristmas pageants in school to enjoy. Heck I'm waiting for someone to decide to nix Easter Egg Hunts and the Easter Bunny. Most kids can't even trick or treat on Halloween anymore, it has to be Beggar's Nite! [img]:rolleyes:[/img] As a whole society, have we lost our manners and repect for each other as people to the point where we have to have outside forces dictate to us how we should behave? A sad, sad thing. [/QUOTE]
