    Not to get religious but I would like to say this -- speaking from personal experience when growing up in the 70s' ......

    My school was probably 60% Roman Catholic, 30% another Christain faith and 10% Jewish ...

    We used to sing Christmas carols, say Merry Christmas even have a tree in class -- and do everything Christmas.
    Most of the Jewish kids even had Christmas trees at home -- one told me they consider a Christmas tree as more of an American tradition then a religious tradition.

    Everybody got along fine ...

    Then it happened .....

    I was in 7th grade at the time .....

    We got a new kid in school .... a girl ... she was in 6th grade.

    Her family moved here from New York City.

    They were atheists and complained to our local school board about the religious issues in school-- meaning we should not be celebrating Christmas in school.

    This fight went on for a few months -- the school eventually caved.

    The next year Christmas in school was completey different and dull.

    No more Christmas tree in school, no more songs, no more gift swapping ... nothing

    Moral of the true story .....

    It only took one family to change our whole school ... and it was by an atheist not even from our town.

    Some people suck

        Because I'm unmarried, neat, and know all the words to a few show tunes, people just assume I'm gay.

        POPUPS!!! They're always there when I'm looking for Free Porn.

        Always having to TIP, even when the stripper doesn't give me good service.

        People who say I need therapy, like they have a medical degree in their back pocket.

          And they know this works too. It's a vast plan by those type of people (trying to be vague enough to not get religious or political) to undermine and change our couintry....AND IT'S BEEN WORKING! We are just starting to wake up and see this has been happening. It needs to stop.

              I have the Magic Bullet (and it doesn't work like on TV, but I still like it), and there are very few informercials I'll actually watch, but channels that had regular programming in the morning, now have these blasted informercials!

                AHA! THERE'S a big one for me! Concerned citizens! I don't care what your philosophy, view or affiliation is; if you feel the need to stick your schnozz in other people's business then you're probably an idiot! I can't count how many of my favourite things were harrangued by some clown who thought it was bad for me.

                  What really bugs the crap out of me is how schools have now done away with Christmas concerts and replaced them with "Holiday concerts" meaning nothing to do with Christmas at all.No jingle bells,no nothing just kids doing hoop dances and other ethnic traditions from around the world?
                  To be more politically correct for all the new families.Last time I checked Christmas was celebrated almost everywhere???
                  If this is the case then and we show other country traditions then by damn we should at lest show what happens this time of year in Canada,the US and the UK!!!
                  I'm not talking about the religious applications of christmas at the concerts just the festiveness and cheer.Lets bring jingle bells back to schools!!!

                      Psycho Neighbors!
                      We had a neighbor who was complete psycho with NO life whatsoever and decided to **** with us on every single occasion. Im convinced he was a steriod freak. Recently he lost his home to forclosures which I normaly would sympathize with someone for but in his case the whole neighborhood was clapping when they saw him moving out.
                      So he goes over today while im at work and mows the lawn of his old house that he doesn't own anymore (told u he was nuts) and decides to dump all the excess leaves and grass on my driveway. what a complete and utter loser in every sense of the word!
