Political Correctness

PC has gotten way out of hand for most people. Happy Holidays is a fine example and the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Oh, and another thing, Hanukkah wasn't made up really. It's a celebration of the Jew's liberation from ... one of those Mesopotamian cultures. They got holed up in a cave, yet another culture runs the former culture off and the Jewish celebrate it as divine liberation.

Gimme a banana.

Enjoy them for now, they won't be around forever!

I have a feeling that the story of one night's worth of oil burning for 8 nights is made up. Just a feeling.

They were probably just stingy with the oil...

They probably never made it to the temple and just made up some shit to cover the 8 nights of drunken revelling they took part in instead!

I want to go back to the first post:

Today at work, my dad was told that he can't say "Happy Holidays" because 'holiday' is a derivative of 'holy day'.

If I were your dad, I would start picking on anyone wishing someone a nice Wednesday evening, or any other day of the week. As you all probably know, in the English language, every day of the week is named after a deity. Wishing someone a nice Woden's day is a clear violation of the company's policy of religious neutrality!

Happy Tyr's day, everyone!
