FR Has Offended Me
Roark
Posted on 12/22/2003 6:48:16 PM PST by RoarkMan
I am deeply offended. Just because I am a conservative I cannot believe that FR would assume that I am a Christian and "wish" me a "Merry Christmas" on the front page of the web-site. I am an atheist and I do not celebrate the birth of Jesus. FR should be open and accommodating to ALL of its members. Just because 99.9999% of the membership is Christian, it does not give FR the right to offend me, the minority. I intend to enlist a swarm of ACLU lawyers in order to bend the forum to accommodate me because, as I said, I am, deeply offended. Please cease your "Merry Christmas" message and replace with a more inclusive "Hi". Thank You.

To quote Dennis Prager last week, in his response to a similar kind of whine by the feminist preseident of an atheist organzation: "Get over it. You are nothing but a narcissist, and are thinking only of yourself. If you are offended - tough. If you don't like it - too bad. There are those of us who don't think we should restrict our celebration of a National Holiday, as well as a religious holiday, just because you claim to be offended."

Feliz Navidad.

I just wanted to belong. To join fellow conservatives with whom I could call "brother" (in a purely nondenominational way, of course).
If you want to call me "brother" that's all right with me. While you're at the ACLU, please tell them "Sister" hummingbird says I hope they have a "Big, Fat Merry Christmas with All the Trimmings!"
Come on, Brother, have some more eggnog!

Well, since it isn't your site, you can't dictate what is on the main page.
Merry Christmas to you!

This is NOT a ping. REPEAT. This is NOT a ping. Merry _________!
Oh, now look what you've done, s2r! How am I ever going to read all of the "Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles" thread if we keep pinging? I'm still not over the multiple pinging I got the other day! Not that I would want to be...heh, heh, heh...

Blessed whatever.
Celebrate whatever festival you choose that coincides with the Winter Solstice. If you do not celbrate the Winter Solstice, then have a nice ordinary day, a$$hole.

It's unfortunate that you are offended by the mention of Christmas. I am not, in return, "offended" by your atheism.
I must be unusually easygoing or something.
To: RoarkMan
That's it! I'm so offending by this thread that I am now going to have my frontal lobe removed and become a liberal.
For the record: I am an atheist but my "offense" was satirical. To the people who didn't get that: Come On! Was is not obvious.
Merry Christmas to all and to all - vote right!

I am offended that you left "Happy Festivus" out of your list. Clearly you are a anti-Festivus bigot.

It's unfortunate that you are offended by the mention of Christmas. I am not, in return, "offended" by your atheism. Obviously you need more "insensitivity training" so you will know when to complain and file a lawsuit. Don't be a pushover! File your lawsuit today!
