All Holiday trees at Sea-Tac Airport were removed this morning after several community member complaints. They say the trees don't represent all cultures and religions...The trees will not go up again...the airport policy on decorations will be reviewed after the holidays.
Yall need to move
Shrug. Are the Christmas trees still up?
Shucks just one more reason to not go to Seattle.
Death to the PC Nazis!
Most of the rest of the state has Christmas Trees in the middle of downtown and some are have them on the City Hall lawn.
Seattle is seriously messed up. Don't judge all of us by these idiots.
Maybe I should know but.....where is this?
Nothing but more cultural cleansing. Absurd.
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
Washington State ping.
I have relatives who used to live out at Ft Lewis and in Seattle--that is, before Seattle became too big for its britches, and changed from being the Emerald City to the Emerald Green commune.
Censorship!!
Nothing represents all cultures and all religions. So what? How is that supposed to mean that something that does represent a particular culture and religion can't be displayed? The reason given for banning the Christmas trees is not logical, it's not reasonable, it's not just, and it's not sane.
"They say the trees don't represent all cultures and religions."
This is so incredibly moronic. Seriously, how could we possibly represent all cultures and religions even if we tried? Where are the Wiccan and Satanist Christmas decorations? Geesh, this multi-culti diversity stuff is a serious mental illness, and I have absolutely no idea why people put up with it. Someone needs to tell the whiners to respectfully shut up!
According to Webster:
diverse = composed of distinct or unlike elements or qualities.
For example, their exists in the world a diversity of mushrooms. Some are great to eat, some will alter your state, and some will kill you. So, diversity itself is nothing to celebrate or value. The worth or value of a thing or a person should be based on it's attributes.
Peace on earth good will toward men
Trees came from the pagans. They are nothing more than
fun. The PC @ssholes continue to legislate the removal of
any fun from our lives.
Only "approved" decorations please. See tagline for details.
