Boycott any store that doesnt recognize christmas and easter. Its unfair for these death star corporations to make enough money during the christmas holiday to satisfy their profit margins for an entire year and then try to marginalize the very holiday that allows them to stay in business.
If I dont see Merry Christmas, you dont get my dollars! You dont deserve them! Ask the jewish community or the ACLU or the atheist community to keep you profitable for the entire year.
Good for you, Timmy! Remind people of what a religious bigot you are!

That's right, we should force those Kosher Bagel shops and Haal meat markets to put a Merry Christmas sign in their window.Originally Posted by Timmy
Do you see the idiocy in your remarks?
Hey, I'm all for Christmas, and If a company puts Christmas decorations in their windows, that's great! I'm not going to report them to the PC police. However, boycotting a business because the owners don't share your beliefs is find of fascist.
Why do you post your anti-semetic beliefs on this message board? Do you really think that people here will be receptive to it? Why don't you leave this board and go somewhere like Stormfront where you will find thousands of little Nazis that you can discuss your theories with. People here don't want to hear it!
Don't underestimate the power of the dark side of the force!
You apparently didn't get the memo from therisin: you're a Christian bigot.That's right, we should force those Kosher Bagel shops and Haal meat markets to put a Merry Christmas sign in their window.

Stick to his script!

Huh? Not sure what you mean by that.
I'm Catholic and celebrate Christmas.
I think its good if stores post Christmas displays, however why should those that don't celebrate Christmas be boycotted?

Go take a look at the "Statehood for WNY" thread.

Puhleeze Biker, try not to be such an idiot. And stop putting words in my mouth.
I never called him a bigot.
If you're gonna try to start trouble, the very least you could do is not lie when doing so.
The amount of respect that I had for you has dwindled down to nothing.
Now, back to Timmy's bigotry thread.
So Timmy, What are your answers to our comments? Anything more to say about those "Death Star" corporations? (You may be a bigot but I have to say that one is pretty funny, it's made me think about Star Wars all morning!
Star Wars as done by Mel Brooks! Oh wait, that was Spaceballs, if you havn't seen it you should check it out, pretty funny!
If company is making money off of christmas shoppers why is it bigotted for holiday to be declared offensive, to be sanitized, to be marginalized, to commercialized....
When did freedom of religion become freedom from religion?
Why is ok for there to be a Menorrah on the set of the today show and numerous TV sets and in a store front....but the only allowable representation of christmas is a secular tree or reigndeer or santa. Its its ok for a Menorrah and a Kwanza they isnt it ok for a Nativity?
If you want interfaith respect....then you gotta give some!
If companies want dollars from the celebration of religious holidays then whats wrong with expressing alittle gratitude.
If I wish someone Merry Christmas and they dont say it back or they say its offensive I dont hesitate to remind them and the manager they this person would not be employed and their store proabably wouldnt be profitable if it wasnt for christmas shoppers. Thats not being a christmas bigot, thats demanding respect just as a jew or a muslim or a secularist demands respect.
Respect is not telling the christian, gay, jew, atheist, muslim....to just keep it to themselves....respect is accepting that in a multi-cultural country people have a right to celebrate their religion and their culture.
. . . not to use the term Christmas that is up to them. however it should not be done to be PC, or because it might upset the few that wish to eliminate what this country was founded on. as for me "Merry Christmas".

I don't think it is biggoted for someone to say that Christmas has gotten commercialized, it clearly has and that is not a good thing. However you were specifically suggesting that the Jews were responsible for this which is clearly not the case. It has to do more with secularization of people of all faiths and increased materialism.

This is how some people (not me) interpret the First Amendment. I agree that religion in a general sense has a place in the public sphere. That is why I think it is ok for religious groups to place a manger or Menorah on public property. Also, if the secular humanist society wants to put up some display in the same spot I think that they should be allowed too. All beliefs (including the belief of non-belief) should be recognized in the public sphere when it comes to expression. I think the framers of the constitution had the fullness of belief in mind rather than its absence.

I would agree with you on that (see above)

No problem with that.

That's fine in an area that is overwhelmingly Christian, however in places where there is more diversity it could offend large numbers of their customers (ie hurt their bottom line), that's why they are afraid to do it. We are talking about the decisions of private companies here, not public property.

Out of general niceness I would expect someone to say Merry Christmas back. However, if they don't I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, they may have a good reason for doing so. Johova's Witnesses for example cannot even say Merry Christmas to you.

Yes, you have a right to openly celebrate Christian holidays but demanding that a Jew or Muslim wish you a Merry Christmas is going a bit too far. They may out of politiness, but I wouldn't demand that they do.
This is the smartest thing you have ever said.
Think of it this way - the rest of us don't come across these same problems with Jews as you do.
Remember that time you went off because you had a problem with a "Jew waiter?". Well, perhaps, just perhaps, you give off a certain aura. Perhaps a certain disdain comes out of you when you encounter someone who you assume is Jewish.
Quite a while ago, you assumed that I was Jewish, and you made a reference that was something to the effect of "I hope another holocaust comes and gets all of you Jews". I really don't think YOU were showing "religious tolerance with that remark". So, you may want to try practicing what you preach.
Therising has a point. A lot of issues he states I never saw except for one. They are really frugile with money.
