I just erased everything again, for the third time. except I kept the last line and changed sceond to third. Such is life which, like my past entries, sucks... so say the French. Let's hope this one makes the cut.
I've been trying to think of a clever way of saying that people who get offended at either "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" depending on their background are a bunch of idiots.
Being offended by such a trivial greeting is contrary to the point of the season. For instance, if a person is a Christian and some one says "Happy Holidays" and that person is offended, so much for "Peace on Earth good will toward Men" more like "Burn in Hell you Politically Correct Pagan, how dare you soil the name of this holiday by not mentioning it by name!"
And as for the opposite, if you demand tolerance of others, you need to be tolerant yourself. Respect/tolerance isn't a one way street you moron.
Anyways, Merry Christmas everyone. This past year has been one of transition and change for myself. I'll try and get a post in reflecting on my year, cuz I know you're all dying to know more. Until next time however... here are reasons Coldplay sucks:
1. I read that Chris Martin is a jerk
2. Clocks was overplayed
3. All the songs are the same
4. Can we say "wannabe U2?"
5. Kids aren't fruit
6. They haven't given their albums out for free
7. The words "Pop" and "Rock" should go together
8. Bands from England are all just Beatles cover bands riding on the glory of the Fab Four
9. I said so
10. My in-laws like them

Number two and three are 100% TRUE!!!!
(on a lighter note, before Rob burns us in Hell, how was Christmas?)
I DO hate people who are offended by holiday greetings. I am glad I am not the only one!
We miss you! Hope you had a good Christmas.
I swear, half the things you rant about are targeted at us Lambsons (at least, the younger ones). Nuts to you, I say.
So, by saying that Coldplay sucks because your in-laws like them, are you saying that we suck?
(I'm just wanting to clarify. And I am CHOOSING to be offended by your post in general ;)
It was great to see you and your family! Have a fantastic New Year celebration...
Joe, I have to say that I could not agree with you MORE. Someone wrote a letter to the Trib the other day saying that because "holiday" means "holy day" they were offended when people said it to them. Come on. Honestly, we really are trying to wish them a happy time this year, and they get offended, that is THEIR problem. Don't get mad at us for wishing you good will. Great post!
