Christmas Mood: WRONG!?

[Sora]

Ok, so, here's the oh-lovely-story for you guys to debate. First off, this is based off someone complained to be about, going "That's just so unfair, there shouldn't be a Christmas Announcement on the forums, there are other religions here! WRONG! WRONG!".


...

So, OK. Dude. I say people should open their eyes. If having a Christmas Announcement here is wrong, then what? The whole world is wrong? Kingdom Hearts and Disney are wrong? All the malls that feature a little Christmas mood are politically incorrect? I mean, even if there are other religions, going "Merry Christmas, guys!" with all the Christmas mood going around in the forums AND the World, it doesn't mean we're degrading other religions with it, does it? I don't think so. I mean, if that were politically incorrect or unfair, wouldn't the Government have fixed this already? Wouldn't they be banning malls? I mean, even if they might be Christians themselves, there are other kind of State Admins. But is every Christmas show on TV banned? Is the San Francisco big Christmas tree politically incorrect? Does anyone care that much about it and takes it as if it was a sin or something? I say, sheesh, c'mon! What the hell!

At least an 95% of the active members in these forums had something related to Christmas on their signatures in the past days. But man, someone coming to me and going "NO, SHUN, THAT'S SO UNFAIR I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! STUPID OVERSEER!".


...

I'm like, whoa. Are you for real? If people have something against it, they never actually said so. We can start creating Hannukah Announcements too, for all we really care. These forums are public to anyone at all, but because a Staff member included "Merry Christmas!" on an announcement about Forum Clans, someone makes a whole drama of "unfair unfair unfair it's unfair for people of other religions omg!" and says that us the Overseers are a piece of crap and unfair and stuff.
Dude, we just went "Merry Christmas." Get your head exploring all the Christmas mood going here and IN the World, even though if it's only "Christian". I say, dude, this is life. Get real. Life's life. A moth won't be a butterfly. It's how things are taken by society, unfair or fair, that's how people go along, and no one actually complains about it.

So I say, what the heck, posting a forum Announcement going "Merry Christmas! I'd just like to say, join the brand new Forum Clans blah blah blah..." is a reason for creating a whole ilogical brawl regarding the "unfairness of specifying christianity?".

Dude, it's not like we gave Christians a lollipop.




Thoughts? :/
Sorry I'm a little pi**ed right now.

Christmas is one of the most popular Holidays, if you open a door for someone at the store, they will most likely say "Thank you, Merry Christmas!" Because, the Holiday is either there, or about to come. Christmas is the most advertised, "Come to Macy's Christmas Holiday sale, 50% off for the right Christmas gifts."

It is said, because it is the most popular, people do not say it to bash any other religions, it is just very, very, very popular, if someone said Merry Christmas to a Jewish person, they aren't trying to spit in their face, they just say it because of the mood that has clouded over the Decmeber month.

With you 100% Brad :]

[Sora]

Sheesh, thanks! lol.

[cbchick]

i don't see what the big fuss is about really..so he said "merry christmas" wow thats really gonna hurt other religions....its not unfair..its worldwide..even tho some people don't celebrate christmas, they still go out and say merry christmas to other people and are part of the holiday. and i was one of the people on here who had something in my sig about christmas..even RKM had a christmas saying his sig and he isn't christian. ( sorry for uhh including you Jihad XD) so i don't see what the big deal is..and its not like the staff member was only directing it to ONE religon only..he was saying it to everyone here on the forums :/

[G3no]

Wow man for real...how ignorant can you get, we've been celebrating Christmas for hundreds of years, and for hundreds of years people have decided whether or not to celebrate it themselves. Why make it a big deal, the majority of the population celebrate it, either get in line, or stick to yourself, if you don't have the will power to just look the other way than you have no business breathing.

[Naminette]

Was that necessary? (the stupid Overseer part) I personally think that if you want your religion to be known, kindly state it. Instead of the whole baby not fair not fair thing I know that there are 10 and 11 yr olds here, but gosh! Sorry if I came out harsh

[K H P]

Exactly, RKM is Muslim, and because of so much Christmas spirit he put it, it's such a big Holiday people can't help but to feel the spirit. If people were actually offended, that is strange because I didn't see any, "Yay! 8 day countdown!" for Hannukah. Merry Christmas was put in the Announcement, because he celebrates Christmas, there was a thread yelling Merry Christmas, so it's only natural.

If you celebrate Christmas, you are going to say "Merry Christmas!"

[Naminette]

Or Happy Honda-days, lol XD

[X@ld!n]

Im reporting you brad for saying a bad word!

Well heck, let me even tell you that ironically the person who complained was even a Christian himself.

I say, cut the crap. That's how it's been going along life for centuries.


And Dean, please don't spam here, lol. Debate instead.

first of all, i was so calm about the whole thing. i was just trying to even the playing field a little!
and i didnt say anythign even near "stupid overseers" until you got pissed off for no reason near the end of our conversation and started using curse words every other word. And i said that after you insulted me for no reason on msn.

you blew this whole thing out of proportion brad
and the poll, LMFAO its hilarious. you totally exxagerated the entire thing.

kudos to you brad!


oooh edit:
im nto a christian. i have never ever told anyone i was christian so i dont know where the hell you got that idea from

[Naminette]

<_< Or I'll do it........... HAVE A HELL LOT OF CHRISTMAS FUN!

I really don't have any patience right now.

[sora520]

hahaa lets SHUN !

yes, after brad cursed at me for no reason when he should have handled it calmly like the "overseer" he is supposed to be. he flipped out and cursed at me and insulted me first.

Ha, ha. Dude, I curse in general. Go ask my friends. The curses weren't even directed to you, but to the situation. Plus, I just created this to give you proof about what I was talking about. Get over it, really. I could show you the chatlogs if you say I was exaggerating.


As I said, I just think the whole point was really, really stupid.

[Naminette]

-_-() *withstrains self from using all curse words*

[RXS]

completely unnecessary naminette...
and please do show me where i said "Oh YES! It's an INSULT to other religions! SHUN!"
im quite interested myself

[H Leaf]

Wow tis not like you to get pissed :(
and even make a poll about it too :confused:

[K H P]

I just think, him saying Merry Christmas in the announcement was no big deal, if he was Jewish, I bet he would say Happy Hannukah, but, Christmas is what he celebrates so he will embrace it by saying Merry Christmas.

"[ PERSISTANCE ] dice:
no i wont get over it. im gonna be the biggest activist when i grow up. its not right to only say merry christmas. and the admins, who try to correct everythign else that happens in teh forums should be open to this, not just shun it because they think its "kinda stupid""

And perhaps;

"[ PERSISTANCE ] dice:
oh yeah cause you know them all. and its not an event, its just him wishing everyone merry christmas. but everyone doesnt celebrate that! "


You didn't say my exact words, just said them in another terms. And I'm not gonna argue in my own thread, so. It's a debate, keep it calm, nice and clean.

EXACTLEY..I don't know how people get offended by saying that i dont care what religion you are he didn't delibrately say merry chirstmas so that you would get offended..Its just a common thing to say if you celibrate that holiday.If your offended fine stfu and get over it it wasnt meant as an insult.

I know, you did say "Shun" though, lol. I'm just playing with you. And this wasn't meant for you to jump off, you could just unblock me and get things fixed, but nah, seems you don't want to.

ur rite and i only get offended whn pepl brag about it not tak about it

[H Leaf]

Umm, well reading your long 1st post bout this i say, its 2sided people might be poor or have family problems? and might not want everyone to brag what they got and are missing out on, still they should not look into happy christmas thread when they know they will get upset and pissed, when people say oh oh, i got an iphone or i got a big hdtv

Lol, I know. But this was based off an announcement that included "Merry Christmas." That was how it all began, the brawl. That is not really bragging, is it? I think it's more of ilogical? :confused: Plus, that wasn't meant as an offense to anyone. I mean, if someone has no money to buy good presents or something, it does not mean that members in here will be privated from creating a "What did you get?" thread.

[SexySasukelover]

Well Thats fine but i didnt hear anyone braging if i did im sorry, but this is a bit immature to argue about somthing like this.

[Sora]

well noone in here braged but i egt pissed off whn someone does whn i go bak to skool on 1/7 or 8/08

Lol, exactly. But we never bragged about it. And it's a respectful opinion, of course.

[Mature]

I dont think that the announcement was wrong in any way. Many of us celebrate Christmas, even some Jewish people and people of other religions celebrate Christmas as well, I'm not trying to slash other religions and or races, but I'm just going by people that I know, and things that I have seen. However, I feel that everyone should be entitled to enjoy and announce their holiday spirits as well, I mean they're just as important as well. However, if that was the case, someone should have contacted the administrators, and said something. They can't expect one who is of a certain religion, and celebrates a certain holiday to just guess when and how to announce a certain holiday that they don't celebrate.

Like me for example, I have no clue when Hanakah or Kwanza is celebrated, so how would I know when to announce such a holiday, I would have to be told by a member who celebrates that certain holiday. So there is nothign really to argue about here, just a minor mistake in communication I guess. No religion is better than any other, and nor is any holiday better than any other, its just about celebration and pride in your culture. That's my view on this.

[sora520]

Lol, exactly. But we never bragged about it. And it's a respectful opinion, of course.

but i nvr sed anyone did i only sed i'd get pissed off if someone did

[RXS]

you say that the announcement was to announce clans

i guess i was misleaded by the title "Merry Christmas!!"
and the first line which was "Merry Christmas from the staff!"

[cbchick]

WHO CARES its jus a freaking saying..its jus like saying happy holidays..jeez..i don't see the big deal of it..he jus said 'merry christmas" it doesn't sound offensive to me or anyone else.

[Sora]

you say that the announcement was to announce clans

i guess i was misleaded by the title "Merry Christmas!!"
and the first line which was "Merry Christmas from the staff!"

Yes. That was the first line. But the post was announcing another thing mainly, the Forum Clans.

Listen, Peter, people have different cultures, and if the creator of the Announcement is Christian by logic he would go, "Merry Christmas!". It's just what any Christian human being would do in my opinion. Whenever you are tuned about any other celebrations of any kind, Private Message me, and I cross my heart that I will announce it as well. But you treated this as if that announcement was a sin to other religions, which was, in my opinion, a little exaggerated. And calling me crap and a loser because of it, as well. Sorry if I cursed, man, but things like that get me pissed. I curse all the time, sadly.
I don't think that keeping me blocked is the brightest decision. :/

[RXS]

cause your not EFFING jewish! of course it wont sound offensive to you!

[G3no]

ahem, ok...someone, who has called me "poor" is now saying that people should watch what they say around people not so well off...hmmm...ok

You can be an activist all you want, no amount of words will ever remove the words "in god we trust" from the quarter or "under god" from the pledge, and "Merry Christmas" will not be banned from public forums.

So settle down, and find better ways to take out your agression...

This has gotten stupid.

[H Leaf]

uhh its not christmas

Umm, yes it is, its boxing day you dumb Dic that means its still christmas ya :) umm, 26th boxing day unless you don't have that??? its not xmas tommorow no, normal day for 2 days then is will be new years eve, and new years day.

another words its still christmas week ya :D

And Peter, are you even jewish? 'Cause no one has brought this to subject before. You're the first one.

[RXS]

well i dont say the pledge in school.

[cbchick]

cause your not EFFING jewish! of course it wont sound offensive to you!

and it probably doesn't sound offensive to any jewish person on these forums..if it did..they would've told someone or something..but did ANYONE say anything or complained about it..no they didn't..they jus said merry christmas.

[RXS]

oh please brit.
I complained about it. just the fact that someone did something about it should be enough

[Sora]

well i dont say the pledge in school.

Lol, that's off point. Completely.
Merry Christmas is just the most common thing to say in Christmas. Why? Because maybe christian people celebrate it. And they have the total right of going "Merry Christmas", and any other kind of religion should not feel degraded by those words.
If I would join a Jewish (And specifically jewish) forum and they'd go, "Happy Hannukah!", I'd personally just get over it. I wouldn't feel offended.

[RXS]

well thast you. not me.

[cbchick]

oh please brit.

k whateva i'm done..its stupid anyways.

[Axizol]

why would you complain about christmas spirit? It's part of my life to find out what really happened back then and by doing that, i bash christianity, no offence to anybody. But let's see...

i got a merry christmas from 2 jewish people, 4 wiccan people, and then a whole bunch of christians. It really doesn't matter.

plus, one of those wiccans even got me a chirstmas present. It doesn't matter if you want to celebrate the meaning behind it, but it's an excuse to give gifts to people and to make them happy, not to complain about that you're not christian (which i'm not) and getting offended by people saying 'merry christmas'

[Sora]

well thast you. not me.

You complained about how other people would feel offended. No one did, to be honest. So why are you worrying about that much? Are you offended? Because that is a completely new story.

jingle bells

jingle all the waaaay..? ;-;



yeah.

...anyway.

i'm with bradley.

christmas is a holiday that is celebrated around the world. christmas is a time for everyone. christmas is a time for family. it's not promoting christianity, it's promoting LOVE and the act of GIVING. it's not shunning anything. Y'ALL NEED TO CALM DOWN. it's not fair to start an arguement over such a happy celebration. ;-;

[Nikkikuh]

lmao

"Its not like we gave Christians a lollipop" XD

Well....towards whoever made a big deal out of it:

My family doesn't do Christmas either. But in our society where most do C-mas, we just have to live with it. No big deal :P
Your not supporting it but you don't have to go on rampage that its wrong XD;;
I guess everyone has their beliefs and what not. and if you don't like the beliefs then just don't bother with them :P

simple enough? ^^

[H Leaf]

Meh, i don't give a rats arse if y'all xmas haters complain bout christmas as long as me and my family are enjoying it say what the hell ya like, its on me :)

[Axizol]

Another point, overall, Christmas has become a nationwide holiday: why? Because of the ablity of people of other faiths to give gifts for absolutely no reason. It's lost all it's meaning to those outside of the christian faith. it's now a holiday to celebrate life and friends. Not just Jesus. And with this completely disreguarding the ancient meaning for the holiday.

[Nikkikuh]

ahuuhh! ^^
yep yep yep

even with me not celebrating Christmas, I enjoy the laughter and excitement others are giving to the atmosphere.
And the music is reallly spiffy too ^^

Let it snow let it snow let it snooowwww~ @u@

(hey jess, talk to me on msn, plleeeeeasee? XD;;; )

I know, i bet not one person even had a picture of jesus for christmas, or thanked him for your life ! you just want presents and money ... no no that all changers when you get older i am telling ya, i was like carn't wait for the food and chrisps n stuff, didn't care bout the presents at all :) even know i opened them !

[Mature]

Saying Merry Christmas is not in any way intended to offend anyone, its just embracing a holiday. I dont see why anyone should take offense to it, I could see someone getting offended if someone said if one holiday is better than the other, but that in this case didn't take place, this is getting way out of hand.

[Nikkikuh]

Yea I think whoever complained might have had a problem with the whole Jesus thing

at the same time I don't blame some people who go on rampages because there are times in society where people are pressured to believe certain things just to fit in and get along with everyone

like before..there used to be no freedom of religion whatsoever D:
Now there is but at the same time, that hint of having the pressure to use a certain religion still exists

I'm not saying I feel pressured but I think others do ^^;;

(hey jessss tlak to meeee =D)

[Number13Roxas]

Saying Merry Christmas really shouldn't offend people lots of people celebrate christmas,even non-christians.(and Sora520,i made the "what presents did you get for Christmas?" thread,im sorry if that offended you in any way).

[Miko]

i dont see how you can get offended by the phrase " Merry Christmas "

today the phrase doesnt even relate to the religious holiday in which jesus christ was born. but to most people it means Happy holidays, just to be "Merry" and happy and junk

getting offended by someone greeting you to have a happy day is down right ridiculous, no matter what religon you are, weather your jewish or athesist or if you celebrate kwanza.

and if people are complaining, how come i dont see the " Happy Hanukkuh" or " Happy Kwanza" in those signatures of those who are complainin about posting a "Merry christmas announcement"

[Twilight Dragon]

Ok, so, here's the oh-lovely-story for you guys to debate. First off, this is based off someone complained to be about, going "That's just so unfair, there shouldn't be a Christmas Announcement on the forums, there are other religions here! WRONG! WRONG!".


...

So, OK. Dude. I say people should open their eyes. If having a Christmas Announcement here is wrong, then what? The whole world is wrong? Kingdom Hearts and Disney are wrong? All the malls that feature a little Christmas mood are politically incorrect? I mean, even if there are other religions, going "Merry Christmas, guys!" with all the Christmas mood going around in the forums AND the World, it doesn't mean we're degrading other religions with it, does it? I don't think so. I mean, if that were politically incorrect or unfair, wouldn't the Government have fixed this already? Wouldn't they be banning malls? I mean, even if they might be Christians themselves, there are other kind of State Admins. But is every Christmas show on TV banned? Is the San Francisco big Christmas tree politically incorrect? Does anyone care that much about it and takes it as if it was a sin or something? I say, sheesh, c'mon! What the hell!

At least an 95% of the active members in these forums had something related to Christmas on their signatures in the past days. But man, someone coming to me and going "NO, SHUN, THAT'S SO UNFAIR I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! STUPID OVERSEER!".


...

I'm like, whoa. Are you for real? If people have something against it, they never actually said so. We can start creating Hannukah Announcements too, for all we really care. These forums are public to anyone at all, but because a Staff member included "Merry Christmas!" on an announcement about Forum Clans, someone makes a whole drama of "unfair unfair unfair it's unfair for people of other religions omg!" and says that us the Overseers are a piece of crap and unfair and stuff.
Dude, we just went "Merry Christmas." Get your head exploring all the Christmas mood going here and IN the World, even though if it's only "Christian". I say, dude, this is life. Get real. Life's life. A moth won't be a butterfly. It's how things are taken by society, unfair or fair, that's how people go along, and no one actually complains about it.

So I say, what the heck, posting a forum Announcement going "Merry Christmas! I'd just like to say, join the brand new Forum Clans blah blah blah..." is a reason for creating a whole ilogical brawl regarding the "unfairness of specifying christianity?".

Dude, it's not like we gave Christians a lollipop.




Thoughts? :/
Sorry I'm a little pissed right now.

I agree with you Brad 100%. I actually have friends who do not celebrate Christmas and celebrate other traditions there religion upholds and me and my friends respect one anothers beliefs and traditions we uphold. Saying "oh your a stupid overseer for someone saying merry christmas" I think is just plain ignornaint to say the least. Saying merry christmas does not mean anything negative towards another person or trys to push another ones religion apon someone elses.
Now I respect everyone's religion because they just as have a right towards there's as I do mine, and I know around this time you can't really miss everything happening around Christmas, but really that's more to due to popularity then anything.
So yeah that's what I have to say...

Sorry to get pissed, but there are people at my school that argue over things like this all the time. Half of them aren't even Jewish, which pisses me off somewhat.

WAIT!!!!!!!!!

isnt it an insult to christianity for not being able to celebrate jesus' birthday?!!?!?!>!?>!?>!?>!>!??!>?!>?>!

[TerraT3]

Hold on why would this be offensive to other people I know they don't celebrate christmas.That dumb someone would think we shouldn't put up christmas sigs.So what why don't you just put up whatever you celebrate.No one ever said you couldn't do it.So why shun people who celebrate christmas.It just what we(People who celebrate it)celebrate it our religion.

[Sora]

Yep, exactly.

THANK YOU!!!!! Damn, I need a asprin..... >.<

Exactly, RKM is Muslim, and because of so much Christmas spirit he put it, it's such a big Holiday people can't help but to feel the spirit. If people were actually offended, that is strange because I didn't see any, "Yay! 8 day countdown!" for Hannukah. Merry Christmas was put in the Announcement, because he celebrates Christmas, there was a thread yelling Merry Christmas, so it's only natural.

If you celebrate Christmas, you are going to say "Merry Christmas!"

i am muslim too.....anyway it'll be stupid with the christmas mood. i dont celebrate christmas but i still like the spirit..............

[The Real keyblade Master]

I wanna know how exactly it offends someone. I always get ''Merry Christmas''
or ''What did you get for Christmas?'' and then i say that im muslim and i usually get a ''sorry''. This is no reason to be offended people. Get over it

[The King of KH]

people laugh at me when i say i dont celebrate christmas..............lolol

[The Real keyblade Master]

How is that funny? We should jump them

[Kingdomhearts 3]

pointless argument Roxas x Sora. Sora has every right to say Merry Christmas. It doesn't even need to be looked on as a religous thing. Santa Claus is not part of any religion I know...... :l

[The King of KH]

How is that funny? We should jump them

[The Real keyblade Master]

*raises hand* Umm....what does Cartoon Network have to do with it?

[The Real keyblade Master]

I think it's because they bring Christmas Specials.

I think it's because they bring Christmas Specials.

Oh..... well, I was actually thinking about this yesterday and I asked my parents about it. They said that because I live in America (not everyone, I know) that everyone is allowed to celebrate their own religious holidays, and since Chrisinaity is the largest (or second, I forget) religion, people, like Cartoon Network, show christmas specials to make money. But not everything is all Christian. Take Adam Sandlar's Hanukuha Song.

Indeed.

And with that, I shall now end this Debate, as to be honest, the purpose I had created it was to prove something to someone. I think I pretty much did, so.
Adios.
