I bet I am the only person who gets offended by people saying happy christmas...I don't like people admiting they have assumed I am stupid. I don't do it to other people, I let them openly prove it and then tell them.

Opiate overdose

Slit your wrists. And remember, it's down the road, not across it.
That's fucked up :lol:

I doubt you are. I don't see what's so offending about it. It's a religious holiday. So what? I've been celebrating it all my life and so has almost everyone I know, and I also always look forward to it.

I am not a christian, I am not stupid - I do not want to be associated with it.

I don't need to buy people things to prove i love them, I don't feel comfortable having a day in which we celebrate western glutony whilst millions around the world starve, I dont like people digging themselves deeper into debt to pay for this 'celebration'.

If today was a day where everyone goes out and cleans up some rubbish from the sides of roads, cleans up local parks, spends time with the elderly etc. etc. as part of an ongoing commitment to being a productive person forever I would fucking love today, today would be the happiest day of my life. But it isnt, it is a cynical day that celebrates everything that is false about humanity and I fucking despise it.

In other news, it was noel reddings birthday today :D

Don't know where you got that impression from. For being a religious holiday Christmas is very secular.
Seriously. I have Hindu coworkers who say Merry Christmas to each other.

I think the only thing you're proving, Jasper, is that you're a wet blanket and you're so self-centered as to think everything is personally about you. And I mean that in a constructive way.

Whose? :D

well, a lot of people and companies donate material goods and food for Christmas, to be fair. I feel like it's gotten so big that it's not just simply a celebration of God but more about getting together with people you're close to and just taking a break.

And as for the second part, oh snaappp it's been broughten up in dis.

Merry Christmas and may Jobu bless you!
