Hmmm. not getting anywhere with this whole thing so maybe it is time to ask the question in a different way...

How would you feel if instead of Christmas being a national holiday, Hannukah was made a national holiday. So, instead of saying Merry Christmas all over the place we would be saying Happy Hannukah and giving Hannukah gifts instead of Christmas gifts.

And when you (as a Christian, Muslim, Pagan, whatever) complained about it it was explained that it was just a name and didn't really mean anything anymore so why get your panties in a ruffle about it ?

Yeah, but we only got one present a night and the first night was the only good present. The other nights were socks, underwear and other useful things.

Not much different than Christmas - 1 good gift, the rest useful stuff But Sare was talking about making it a National Holiday - 8 days off in Dec sounds superb to me

[sarettah]

No no no... You wouldn't get 8 days off dammit.

I was merely changing the name of Christmas (december 25, Candlemas, Mid winters fest) to the Jewish Holiday. Still one day off for the fucker. Still give presents that you can't afford to give. Still the emphasis on the commercial marketing aspect.

Just renaming it in something other than the predominant religion's version of it.

Wouldn't that piss a bunch of people off ?

Moi ??

I get accused of all sorts of shit these days dammit.

I was seriously interested in the question and was wondering what the board thought of it. There was not other reason for me to ask it. Trust me
