So your work wants you to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." So...? I just don't understand why that would hurt your delicate sensibilities. My work asks me to do tons of stuff I don't want to do. But they write my paycheck, so I do it.

and its not offensive to take others peoples beliefs into account, but its kinda like the government or business telling you what to say, and we all know how we as Americans usually feel about that. If i want to say it to accept other peoples beliefs, then ill say it (I would have too if they hadn't rammed it down my throat so much). Hell i don't even believe in christmas. (shrugs)
I'm not a Christian, either. But a business telling it's employee what to do is a very VERY far cry from the government telling everyone what to say.
So you don't agree with those who are frustrated with it. But it's still their right to be frustrated by it. Can't we for once, leave it at that, rather than it spiraling into some 5-page long thread about whether or not it's morally and ethically correct, and whether it's constitutional or Gbaji sucks Bush's ****, etc...
