Epic WTF

Wouldn't native americans be offended by that?

Anyone who chooses to say Merry Christmas for political reasons passes the dickhead test. It (Happy Holidays)* is a very useful phrase: it includes both Christmas and New Year's (and this is, I suspect, it's original meaning - I doubt it was invented by some sort of PC mafia as the right likes to imagine), it is simpler in the sense that it includes those who may have other celebrations that are not Christmas, and, as an extra humanity bonus, it is polite both to those who share Christmas, and those who don't.

Ah. Fixed?

Fuck your December.

Decemberist!

We're (technically) not allowed to wish anyone any of that
How so? An edict that states "Do not wish anybody a happy anything".

A - "Have a nice day!"

B - "Up yours - You marginalise the night with your daytime fascism!"

Yo Dawg, there was a tiny pepper inside my pepper, it tasted like a slightly sharper, less sweet pepper.

Conjoined pepper twins?

Don't complain, they'll all want one!

You might want to check that for errors cos I think I know what you mean and I don't think it is exactly what you have said.

No I don't think that's it.

Having sat on Educational Visit Coordinator meetings in Newham and listened to staff from primary and secondary schools on this subject my take is that primarily this letter is in response to the high number of parents who refuse to send their children to school on the day of any educational visits to places of worship etc. Usually this stems from a misunderstanding of what religious education actually is and a deliberate refusal to expose their children to a fair, unbiased and rational approach to other religious cultures based on principles of knowledge and understanding. I doubt anybody in Newham would ever take this approach as the fear of upsetting substantial numbers of fundamentalists from all denominations is widespread and being labelled as racist/ anti Islamic/Christian etc is so strong that nobody dares to tackle this issue.

^ agreed. I had to go to Sizewell B as a school kid for gods sake, never did me and my third ear any harm.

Think so!

cool. You're right. That was an important dropped word!

Sounds very British

^This!

RE in schools should be all about teaching about different faiths and views. It should be compulsory as well.

After all most of the Western and Middle East Faiths believe in the same god. No?

If they all believe in the same god then what's the point? They should teach norse shit or scientology, or blind Io. Instead of teaching the difference between having a shit and which way you wipe afterwards, you should be taught about shitting rainbows or working engines or glowing magnets.

The point is that one believed God like blue, whether the other believed His favourite colour is actually blue.

Wars have been wages for thousands of years over this.

The colour blue is a contentious issue.

Isnt 'Jedi' a reconised religon now?

Now thats proper education. Shouldnt be difficult to tape a tazer to a cheap RC helicopter. To teach the young bright'ns some blindfolded swordmanship.

R.E. classes now show the 2/3 of the lucas nonology ( trilogy x3 ? )
