Christmas changing to 'Winterval'.

[NightSlayer]

Yah!!!! Dat what me thought too.

Actually Muslims don't drink.. if you ever go somewhere like Saudi you aren't allowed any alcohol in the country.



As Joshua pointed out, you should make sure your sources are backed up before stating things ^_^ Bah Bah Black Sheep is in no way racist, it's about sheep. Even if there was a song about a black man, that wouldn't be racist unless it was derrogetory in some way. Pointing out a colour is not racism.

On the topic of racism, that brings me nicely back to the main topic of this thread. Surely it is racist of the Muslim communities to attempt to put a stop to Christian celebrations? Is the stoppage of religious symbolism not classed as racist just because it's the Christians who are being attacked?
I personally don't believe in the stories of Christianity, as I said previously, but this is in my opinion not just an attack on Christianity and its teachings, but also on British traditionalism, something for which I am proud of my country for. We are one of the last Western countries left with proper traditions, and they are being chipped away at at an alarming rate. There is no reason why a Muslim cannot simply ignore the religious symbolism on a simple Christmas stamp, especially when the very same people campaign so hard to be allowed their own religious artefacts and symbols on and around their persons.

Umm.. those sites all oppose what you were saying about slavery, they all claim that there is no racism in Bah Bah Black Sheep whatsoever. That last one actually says

"Never mind, as scholars have been explaining throughout this recent PC flap in England, that the black sheep in question have nothing at all to do with race. The nursery rhyme, written in 1744, refers instead to the fact that black wool, which could not be dyed into other colors, was taxed at a lower rate by the king than white wool."

Sorry, I'm aware that has nothing to do with the whole Christmas thing, just thought I'd make clearer the point that PC (especially in regards to racism) has been blown way out of proportion.

FlyingJesus has said everything I want to say, but I'll say some stuff anyway.

It doesn't matter what they try and do, nobody will say Winterval. Political correctness in this country is ridiculous, and since I'm off out in about 2 minutes I haven't got the time to get into it, all that I can say is, don't be scared to say any of this in real life, whoever is around, as that's the main cause of all this bullsh*t - People are worried about offending someone else.

[hit-by-a-car]

Learn how to spell.
But If you wrote what I think you wrote, I agree, because that is what I said before

[Starburst..x]

This annoys me, why not show religious stuff in our adverts. I'm not a particually religious person, but banning any sort of link to christianity/catholic is pathetic.
Its Britain most people are Christian or Catholic.
I really don't see how people can be offended?
Every other religion seems to be able to make a big thing out of their celebrations why can't we??!!, we're not being racist, we're celebrating a holiday, the same way as every other religion does.

[Lubricant]
