Oh wahhhhhhh. People can chose to be offended or not. We’re not some bag of helpless brain chemicals with no control over our emotions. We’ve got to stop ordering our society to please people who CHOSE to be offended at things where no offense was intended.

A tree is a tree.

It cannot make anyone feel anything.

I respectfully disagree. We cannot control our feeling (being offended or not). What we can and should control, however, is the decision of what to do with this feeling of being offended. Some of us may be offended by merely the presence of loud liberals in our neighborhood. Doesn't mean we do something or whine about them, like these people do.

I am Jewish and I love big beautiful Christmas trees. (I would not put one up myself but I love looking at them.) This is such nonsense! And I don’t believe it.
