The latest "crazy" we have is some plonker of a lawyer saying that nativity scenes on Christmas Cards in offices could offend non-christian workers! Now as it goes I am not a Christian but it's supposedly a Christian country and the first few letters of Christmas do give you a bit of a clue as to the origin of the festival. I hope I don't offend anyone by not being offended, nor was I offended by the recent Hindu festival of lights (Dirvali??) In fact I rather enjoyed all the fireworks. Should I try harder to be offended? I suppose the best approach is that of the Bhuddist who say celebrate everyone else's festivals as well so you don't give offence, sounds like a winner to me.
For the record, PAGAN.

As far as the nativity scene for Christmas offending non-Christians, all I have to say is to give me all of your money.  Every red cent.  On every piece of US currency, it says "In God We Trust".  Obviously these people could not possible possess such a piece of harassing currency.  Best go ahead and give it to me as I am much more tolerant of such things.   :mrgreen:

You couldn't use "manual" either.  The 'man-' part at the beginning is obviously offensive to women/ladies/girls/females/non-men...whatever the hell they want to be called this week.

It offends me that you are willing to accomodate.

It offends me that it offends you that someone bends for peace :mrgreen:

Do you get the feeling this could just go on and on getting sillier and sillier but would never get as silly as the PC bods who keep coming up with all this crap.

Incidently, this "In God we trust" thing. Is there enough room on your smallest coin to put... In God we trust, or Gods, or no Gods if you are Athiest or agnostic providing no-one else minds?.....I guess not.
