No, no, it's Happy Holidays now. We don't want to offend those people that don't celebrate Christmas, now do we? >:(
Anyway, merry Christmas.

I find the "holi" in "holidays" offensive. Also, I'm very depressed, and the "happy" part bothers me. Couldn't it be just some sort of wave of nod of acknowledgement?
Have a very positive, nondenominential, Capitalist, gift-giving season!
(Merry Christmas!)

Actually I heard that some people prefer "happy" to "merry", because "merry" has connotations of getting drunk.

Yet on the flip side, we aren't allowed to be offended that they don't celebrate Christmas. Hypocrisy at it's best.
Frankly, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever that any person on the face of this planet should ever be the least bit offended at all by anything any other person on the face of this planet says. It's absolutely absurd that society even caters to those that do.
You know what, Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year, and to those of you that take offense at that, @%$# off.

These days there are plenty of people that take offense to Capitalism.

You can't ban thought.

I second jRaskell.
EDIT: ... to an extent. Any religion that preaches killing should be banned on the grounds
of being destructive to society.
And thus ends my posts re: religion on a C++ programming forum.

I disagree. I'd say that if you take offense to something someone says, it's down to you to deal with it. That of course stops when your notion of "dealing with it" breaks the law...
| You sure about that, cock sucker? |
I'm absolutely sure.

I agree with that, but it's more an issue of free speech and inciting violence than being offended at what people say. A religious fanatic could be out on the street preaching that all athiests should be tortured for 17 days then drawn and quartered, and I wouldn't be the least bit offended. The law should definitely step in and stop such blatantly inflammatory speech though.

I'm saying there's no reason to take offense in the first place, hence there should be nothing to deal with anyways, legally or illegally.
