Things that I marvel at

[EVILFACE]

Can't see someone successfully suing a store for being told 'merry christmas'. That would be on the same grounds as suing some for saying 'bless you' when you sneeze.

Well, I mean, the "news", regardless of where you get your information from, tends to overgeneralize everything. That's what keeps them relevant; whether they're blogs, news networks, or even popular YouTube channels (regardless of political allegiances). Just live your life, enjoy people, and enjoy going places. And if the s*** hits the fan, you'll have something to complain about then .

I think culture is something that's very dynamic, and it's useless to predict where it's going. You also have to consider that people's values, and even their opinions change over time. Once young people get out of college, they'll have to adjust and make the necessary changes to fit into the "real world", with careers and hard responsibilities they've never had before. Sure, they have the luxury of protesting about asinine things when they're safely in their respected political bubbles on the campuses. But, that doesn't last forever.

im not sure what you are trying to imply (over a course of days now) but i dont get my news from any "One" Source. Whenever I hear about something i Check at least 6-7 different sources and some of those are in spanish or out of the USA. because when I do that I can see the complete picture. Sometimes the people on youtube are the only ones telling the truth, sometimes the spanish news are the only ones. sometimes UK news. sometimes Canada news are telling the truth, you always imply that im watching fox news or something, I dont. You guys and ween dont believe anything because it is not happening to you in your own little home town. thats rather simplistic. your town is not a representation of the country. if anything New York is living inside a bubble.



well what is happening now is that those college kids are having to move back with their parents. There have been rises in college aged people having to move back home. they are what is known as Neets. it is becoming more common to see people get out of college and have to find waitress jobs and live at home. thats whats happening. Where did I get that info? from at least 14 different sources.

but you wont believe that, cuz it isnt happening around you lol

Well, you do realize that incorrect information can get discriminated around the sources you check, right? You made a statement about chain stores, and the war on Christmas that was pretty incorrect from my experiences (and for your information, that was first peddled by the O'Reilly factor). I also don't have a "small town" mentality, and I travel the tri-state area quite frequently now days. Hell, I immigrated from Canada when I was in middle school, and I know some of you guys have never even gone beyond the borders of your neighborhood .

It's true that a town or a state isn't a representation of a whole country. But, then again, the moment you start looking for a representation of the whole, you're looking at "sources" that are going to extrapolate dubious generalities. I wouldn't even dare to make a remark about how things are in Florida, or the State's culture. And do you want to know why? It's because I've never been there.

I mean, continue to check your sources, and knock yourself out in the basement, it's your choice. But, there's no better substitute than actually living your life and seeing the world for what it is. The only verifiable "truths" that exists, are the truths that you see and experience for yourself, but you have to make an effort to know them.

A source in Canada, for example, isn't going to tell you what's really going on in New York. And a source in Mexico isn't going to accurately report on what's going on in American campuses. I can tell you, that not every college campus has people up in arms, and burning epitaphs of Trump while screaming obscenities.

i NEVER said anything about the war on Christmas, I never even used those words. that was your input. Im not even sure why you bring up Bill O'Reilly. thats your own input.

Well, this right here, is quite literally, the talking points for the "War on Christmas" (the more you know...)

you guys grew up in a time when saying God Bless you and Merry Christmas was NOT offensive.... when was the last time an employee of a store said MERRY XMAS?????

It is a fact that most companies stopped saying Merry Christmas and started saying Happy Holidays in their advertisements or commercials.
almost all ads for most corporations will say Happy Holidays... how is that not truth? companies changed their policies so that employees say Happy holidays. Walmart tells people to say happy holidays. That girl might have said Merry Xmas to you, but if you recorded her and posted that vid on youtube, Im sure her manager would have had a talk with her, at the least. if the video went viral she could get fired.... you are literally arguing against reality right now. It is a fact that companies changed their policy when it comes to Christmas, there arent almost any ads that have those words anymore. Even if they have a christmas tree in the ad, the ads now just say happy holidays.




but if you only read news from new york publications then you are going to get a very distorted and bias version of the news. you are going to get news with a commentary. you wont get the full picture either. The New York times right now is one of the worst places to look for news. they might as well be Buzzfeed at this point.

Like I said, I check at least 7 sources minimum if I am interested in something. I watch local news to know whats going on and i read multiple sources when it comes to national or global news. I can real up to 20 sources sometimes. it would be foolish to just watch one news show. CNN has been the laughing stock of the news world. they are literally trying to distort reality

Well, I wasn't talking about ads. But, if corporate rules exist to prevent employees from saying "Merry Christmas", they may not be strictly enforced (I guess it depends on the management).

 

[The Ween]

They say Merry Christmas here all the time. And play Christmas music over the PA systems. Starting way too soon btw.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

I dunno, i kind of feel like the whole merry christmas lynching was a fad by sjws and theyve moved on from ruining the world with that topic. Theyve already succeeded in ruining that for everyone so the fight is over.

Just wait until the next Christmas season Starbucks cup gets released and it doesn't have Santa on it. It'll all start over again.

Don't see why Santa would be an issue. He has nothing to do with any religion.

People lose their minds every year when those cups aren't "Christmasy" enough. Every Christmas some group goes on a rampage because the cup doesn't have Santa, or Merry Christmas, or a reindeer taking a **** on someone's roof. It'll happen again this year no matter what they put on the cup because people have turned into *******s and think their stupid Facebook videos they make about boycotting Starbucks makes any difference.

 

[Chakor]

This is just one of 1,000 reasons why I hate Christmas.

 

[Chakor]

wat are the others?

I'll list them... for $999 of course. I only take PayPal.

 

[Chakor]

This video basically sums up 12 of the 1,000 reasons.

It doesn't matter what holiday or whatever it is, there's always going to be someone bitching it about it. That's just the way it is now. No matter what, someone will complain.

Anyone says boycott on my Facebook page, I call them out on how stupid it is.

Thats why when I talk to ween about this i bring up statistics and percentages of stuff.

you guys keep denying this is going on, but it is:

ween will laugh at this, Snoop might say that these articles dont represent "Real" women,
but in MY generation and below younger, these are the articles that women in college are reading and even studying. These are the kind of articles that get passed around in high schools, even teachers are trying to push these to the students.

I dont care how much you guys deny it or laugh at it or say that it is nonsense. Young people are buying into this stuff.

you guys grew up in a time when saying God Bless you and Merry Christmas was NOT offensive.... when was the last time an employee of a store said MERRY XMAS?????

We say it all the time at my "very large" company. Only a fool get offended by this. PC is not as rampant as some radio personalities make it out to be.

For the most part no one care of you say Merry Xmas to people who are not Christian.....
