People in the South still appreciate you saying it I’ve found.

If it will tick him off, I will say, “God Bless you” twice.

ariel, you are a lunkhead...an unhappy lunkhead. Who cares what you think about anything??? That said...God Bless You. It looks like you are going to need it being the limp-brained LIB you appear to be.

Trivia question: what do you say in Japanese when someone sneezes?
Answer: you don’t say anything, because sneezing in public in Japan is the manners equivalent of passing gas in public in the US. It’s one of the reasons why Japanese people who think they are going to be sneezing (e.g., having a cold) wear a surgeon’s mask in public, without turning heads as one might in the US.

It’s still tremendously popular in the north too. :)
We heathens up here don’t mind putting in the effort to say God bless you after a sneeze.
One idiot writes nonsense and no one cares.

Ariel seems like a real fun girl. She’d be a joy to be around.

Hey Ariel. Did mommy and daddy name you after that mermaid cartoon? Lighten up. If “God Bless You” offends you, then you really need to go see a shrink. Sneezing and having somebody say “God Bless You” isn’t quite as bad as being shot by one of your Muzzie buddies and he says, “Allah Akbar”. Get over yourself, ditz.

If i recall correctly, this expression became widespread as the Plague devastated Europe. People believed that a sneeze would expel evil spirits, and they also knewthat oftentimes the Plague began with a sneezing fit that was a simply a death sentence in less than 24 hours...

Just another little step to wipe all vestiges of God from our society.

I really like the phrase “Have a blessed day” to replace “Have a nice day”
To: Zakeet
And oh yes, God bless us, everyone
