I've been trying to learn Irish Gaelic, but I'm not sure how much more my liver can take.


Cool. I'm trying to learn a bit of Scotts Gaelic. I grew up three hours from pretty much the only place left in Canada where a certain percentage of the population still speaks Gaelic, but I never learned a word.

It's weird. Like speaking Russian and French at the same time. :crazy:

Well done, Carmen. I agree 110%. What drives me is the Christmas tree issue. People want to change the holiday to 'Happy Holidays'. The thing is, if you don't believe in Christmas, what right do you have to even celebrate the day? If you don't like it, you should have to go to work that day, and never watch It's a Wonderful Life. The holiday is a Christian holiday, not a secular one, so no one should have any say in the way it's celebrated but those who actually subscribe to the beliefs involved with it. But you can all thank pen 15e for that. Santa, (based on a Christian Saint) has ruined it all.

OK, I didn't know that about the "One nation under God" thing, but you get my point about people trying to end traditions followed by the majority because they don't agree with them. If you don't agree with a tradition, then by all means don't partake in it. Just don't expect my support if you try to deprive others of their rights to partake in it. It's Merry Christmas, God dammit, not Happy Holidays. If you don't believe in what Christmas is about, STFU and don't celebrate it.

Like I said - I am not religious, but I do celebrate Christmas. Not for the religious aspect, but for everything else Christmas stands for: Peace, happiness, goodwill, twinkling lights, and yes, the loot. While I dont follow religion I certainly would never dream of stripping this holiday of its religious name and foundation. That would be stupid, and it would be incredibly selfish.

This ain't no wild fire.. no one's really arguing yet. Just some strong opinions flying around at this point.

No wildfire, at least I don't think so....... This is one of the longest threads we've had with a good topic for discussion where everyone has been civil and polite.

I don't mean to say non-Christians shouldn't be able to celebrate Christmas, they just shouldn't be able to complain about the nature of the sacred day, (or day representing a sacred event. Turns out Christ was actually born around mid April).
