Where are we going, and why are we in this handbasket?

All right, what the crap is going on?! For a time, all was calm(ish)... and then came the craze (yes, it's crazy...) of Political Correctness. They ruined lots of things. People were no longer retards, but instead we had to call them "mentally challenged". Midgets were now "little people." Black people were now african-american (despite them never having been in africa). Jews were now "financially conservative"... you get the picture. Well, now it's turned 180 degrees. It would seem that the christian fanatics out there are offended by political correctness. Have a read here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41700 and you'll see how nuts some people get. Why do people get so worked up over seeing anything that offends them? Who gives a shit!!! not everyone can be happy. I agree, it's lame that they're not saying "merry christmas" anymore, but so what?! If it were an african store and said "Happy Kwanza", you'd be shitting bricks over them trying to push their beliefs on you (god, I hate hypocrites. especially christian ones) "This is offensive to the sensibilities of millions of average Americans" Have you people lost your fucking minds?!? It's fucking christmas!!! it has nothing to do with sensible!! If it did, you wouldn't be compelled to rush out to the store and be the first one to buy a tickle me elmo, or a brand new mercedes for your fat whore of a wife. Christmas is about one thing, and one thing only: Commercialism. It's about who can buy the most things for "loved ones." And, occasionally, it's about fat Uncle Bob getting drunk on egg nog at the family christmas dinner... ahh, sweet sweet memories {sniff}

In summation, STFU about being offended by something so unbelievably harmless. Asshole!
