    I am offended by the use of the term 'holiday' as it has religious derivitives and undertones.

    There was a story on the radio today about some Boy Scouts up in the socialist state of Massachusetts that were in front of a store front or something raising money to buy and send Christmas presents to soldiers in Iraq. One busy body HO complained about it because it was "pro war" and "offended" her so naturally they kicked the Boy Scouts out. Because one miserable HO complained.

    Its gotten to the point where when anybody says theyre "offended" I want to hit them in the forehead with a tack hammer - regardless what theyre "offended" about.

    I'm offended that you're offended that you feel the lady wasn't really offended by the offending boy scouts.

    I have read the first post on this thread and that's it. That said,

    When are the people that get offended about what the people "who are offended", and are able to sway the norm for holidays, national pride and religion and other bullsh!t, gonna "be more offended" and take the power back!

    Power to the people and not the whiny b!tches and HO's who are "offended"!

    Thank you for your support and no Santa was harmed or offended during the making of this post. BTW, Merry Christmas! I said that because I live in America and I have not one clue what a "Happy holiday" is. Without Christmas or Hanukkah, would there even be a "Happy Holiday"? One day, someone will figure that out and be "offended" and the next thing you know, we won't be able to say "Happy Holidays"!

    Damn. Can't sing that either. The definition has changed.

    Oh, and if anybody got "offended" on my post....

    'EFFF You!

    Now I can at least feel that I genuinely "offended" you over something worthwhile and I feel much better. Thank you for the opportunity to "offend" you. Merry Christmas! Happy Halloween! Happy New Year! [I'm waiting for the a$$hole who is "offended" about that.....] Happy Veterans day! Happy Columbus day! Happy Mother's day! Happy Father's day! Happy Easter! Happy Black Awareness Month! Happy Cancer Awareness month! Happy Pearl Harbor Remembrance day! Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day! Happy Washington's Birthday day! Happy United Nations day! Happy Yom Kippor! Happy labor day! [Not to happy about labor, but...] Happy Civic Holiday! Happy Flag day! Happy Memorial Day! Happy May Day! Happy Ash Wednesday! Happy Rosh Hashanah! Happy Columbus day! and Happy Birthday!

    Again, if I "offended" anybody, then let me top it off by saying "HO,HO,HO!" and I would like to refer you to the 2nd line of this post.

    You "offended" now? Again, refer to the second line of this post.

    Did I make you angry? Again, refer to the second line of this post.

    Do I care if I "offended" you? Yes, of course but if it has anything to do with what has been typed in this post, then refer to the second line of this post.

    Note: For those that are a little slow, the second line of this post is written in bold. If I just "offended" you, then refer to the second line of this post.
