We live inn rediculously fearful world!
Over here in the states, there was a big problem with corporations forbidding them to say "Merry Christmas, no doubt because a few uptight atheists objected to the Christ in Christmas.
Over a major backlash from customers in general, Wal-mart and some other retailers reversed thier decision and allowed the clerks to say what they wish at Christmas.
What amazes me is when our society will choose to outlaw the good, because of a lot of bad out there.
For instance, I DO think that those playing Santa Claus need to have a background check done to make sure that they aren't pedophiles, as pedophiles DO pick positions in which they will be closer to children, as I wouldn't be comfortable with a pedophile taking my kid on his lap either.
Oh, by the way, HO HO HO!

I understand Robert,
(though it's strange, people have been saying Merry Christmas for over a hundred years, and only in the last ten years or so, people have been objecting and when it comes down to it, it is a very small portion of the public. It's always that small portion that tends to be the most vocal)
but you must admit, no matter how "sensitive" a corporation wants to be towards everyone, it really just comes down to the almighty dollar, pound or whatever your currency of choice is.
If they start to lose money, they'll prance around in sleigh bells and nothing else, happily barking "Merry Christmas" while they dance around like little idiots, just to keep your money flowing in the doors.
So, everyone have a Marry Chrissymas, A Happy harmonica and a Cwazy Kwansia!
and overdose on that politically incorrect as well as insensitivite butchery of those innocent turkeys. What did they ever do to you? Why, you son of a bi-
.......
(The last part added by the anti-defamation against turkeys organization!)
