I was talking to a customer who came in our shop today he owns a photographic studio just two doors down from us, he told me he was'nt putting any Christmas decorations up this year for fear of offending the muslims!!!!
He also said that some of the County Councils in England were not giving Christmas cards out with Images of baby Jesus or piggys on them because of upsetting muslim people.
Whose Country is this?
I saw red and told him how foolish he was, how sad it would be for our children and our children's children with no Christmas Traditions or decoration's put up, i respect the Muslim people but they in turn should learn to respect our Traditions and values, i am now going to put up a baby Jesus in my shop window and the biggest piggy i can find, not to upset anyone but just to make a point, no-one is going to stop me from putting the Christ in Christmas.

That's nothing - there are some schools in England that have told children they are not allowed to bring Christmas cards into the school to hand out to their friends as they have to protect the enviroment!
Why can't they just let the kids do the traditional thing and then ask them to bring the cards into the school in January for recyling?
The whole thing is just mad!

Georgie Porgie Bush and his wife have sent out Crimbo cards...EXCUSE ME...holiday cards to who ever gets them(not me) and there has been a big stink over the fact that they have chosen to say '...have a Happy Holiday Season...' vs. the original card of the past millenium. The Colonials are in an uproar!!:shocking:

That is absolute madness. I saw it the other night and had no idea what the hell he was on about (not that anyone does anyway)
But whoever put that idea to him and persuaded Bush to do it, must be laughing his socks off now.:laugh: Michael Moore wasn't secretly involved in that?!?!
