I am up to here with Political correctness!!
A bus driver in Vancouver who has dressed as Santa for the last 20 years has been told to wear his uniform. No doubt because it might offend someone who recently came to this country to escape the trials and tribulations of their own. The sad truth here is that Santa has squat to do with religion.
Just sick and tired of this shit.
Alright then,back to my day lol
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
It's easy to be offended and now people are enabling the victim mentality with shit like this, it's repulsive!
If I tell someone Merry Christmas and they don't happen to celebrate Christmas they should know that I am just wishing them the joy, peace, love, and harmony that Christmas is supposed to represent.
If somebody wished me Happy Hanukah I'd know they'd be wishing me the best, ditto for Kwanza or whatever else is celebrated. Even if they say "Happy Holidays" or something...I just accept it as a person wishing me well and what is wrong with that? As a reasonable, rational adult what is wrong with it?
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
Yes I'm sick of these fuckwits telling us what we can and can't say or do.
If someone is offended by a Father Christmas outfit they can go jump.
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
You lot sound like grumpy old men. Whatever the reason be it religion or health and safety it is nonsense done by a person who is frustrated with life and not getting enough sex. Ask yourself why you get upset so much about it? The world can be a stupid place but it is best not to get worked up about things that are out of your control and just plain daft.

We should speak our mind that is our right , if we are pissed of just vent the anger!
Or the dickheads in charge will have it so we can't fart without getting a fine.
Also please explain how religion can be a reason , Santa claws he no religious connection at all , if anyone in the USA or uk is offended by that they can go fuck off , it pathetic we even let them have a voice on the matter , it's harmless fun for kids is all.
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
If anything Santa is anti religious; Satan <same letters as Santa, In disguise taking the gloss off of Jesus,whos name wasn't Jesus, who wasnt born anywhere near christmas time.
Funny as all fuck really.:)
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
People have too much time on their hands. It's become ludicrous how easily and quick the sheep have flocked to the new PC and spend more time tiptoeing around each other during the "Holidays" and make enjoying them into a job. Seriously, get this fook over yourselfs. I've seen bell ringers told they cannot actually dress as Santa, but the hat is allowed??? For fucks sake! I make it a point to say merry Christmas, and it has next to nil reflection of religion but simply the date, time and memories. If someone tells me happy Hanukkah or whatever, I say right on! What it means to me is the way I'll live the day and celebrate.
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
Be good to dress up in a devil outfit and go around giving out presents. I wonder if the Christmastains would kick up or get cross + :)?
Could go one step further and give out cheap Chinese shit that breaks in under a week,books with last pages ripped out, dvds with a scratch through the last scene so it freezes, You know, all the fun things. >:D The annoying Devil.

On the contrary my friend. I have been tolerant for over half a century while watching my beliefs and memories be eroded. Sat idly by while the same people that fled oppression try to oppress me and nickel and dime the system I grew up in to death. What next no more happy birthday signs. Adding to this death by inches is the fact that its like I woke up one morning and everyone around me was a victim.

Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
OK I say fuck political correctness starting right now:
:D
Cant do that, if you cant walk down the street saying it aloud, you cant post it on the main boards.
Re: I am up to here with Political correctness!!
It does seem to have gone too far. Of course people need to consider others on occasion, but what does Santa matter? You move to a country, then respect that they have Santa. I don't like Santa, but then I don't won't go and visit him. It's not my right to tell everyone else that they cannot have a Santa. It is my right to say that I think Santa is a creepy, old bastard, but it isn't my right to ban him.
Nativity plays are also getting a harder time, but I have no issues with that. However, the reasons for them having a harder time are nothing to do with atheists like me. It is simply about not wanting to upset the token Muslim kids. As an older person who has wised up to the realities of religion and how it is all child abuse, I would never allow my child to take part or be indoctrinated in any Bible nonsense. I earned my first acting stripes as a Shepard, but the photographic evidence clearly shows that I was disenchanted with the entire process. As a child of atheistic upbringings, I really should not have been encouraged to take part in as warped a story as the birth of Christ.
Religion has no part to play in a classroom, but Santa isn't about religion. It's just about giving kids something fun. Religion is serious horrible shit, but Santa is just a laugh. Santa is like Peter Pan, or Thomas the Tank engine. It's only bad when adults start believing in fairy stories.
