Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
Being a Christian will soon be a hate-crime in itself. Don't use the word "Christmas", spell "Christ" with a lowercase "c", no spell it as "Xtian", blah blah blah
Poor over-sensitive souls. The "c" word sends them into a fit. Things like this only convince me to buy extra CHRISTmas lights, go round the houses screaming carols at the top of my voice, erecting super-size nativity scenes in my front garden, and generally being the most in-your-face Christian I can be. God, it's great to be a Christian. I mean, it. Absolutely fan-f*cking-tastic. Yeah!

Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
Isn't christ a sort of title rather than a personal name?
I was under the impression that the 'christ' part came a long time after Jesus died ( for our sins )

Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
I assume the "c" word, be it spelled with a lower or upper case, must be offensive for Muslims and discriminatory. So maybe it's time for us to erase the "c" word from our vocabulary and to replace it by the "M" word (with a bold upper case)?... Hey, "F Y" word, I say!
If it's wasn't so clear, it's getting more and more obvious now that all this "anti-discrimination" policy turns to be actually only a discrimination policy against natives and their beliefs...

Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
It's probably more to do with the fact that it offends our Ashkenazic friends and their shills in Brussels. But they are happy to use the Muslims offense as the justification. I wonder how long until professing faith in Christ incurs the same penalties as doubting the official holocaust story. The hour of the thought-crime is at hand.

Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
We wish you a ... happy holidays?
Personally, I don't see why Christ, Christmas, Christmas tree should be offensive. Everyone should be able to celebrate the winter holidays according to their religion/faith. Now if that isn't tolerance, then I don't know what is

The people pushing it are the secularist PC brigade, using the whole "tolerance" myth as an excuse to advance their own war on religion.

Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
Ever heard about Christmas trees set on fire? Ever heard about Saint Nicolas procession attacked by "youngs" with stones? You dreamt about it, european tolerance made it!
Happy Kwanzaa and happy Car Burning!...

Re: Orders from Brussels: Spell Christ with a lower-case "c"
I don't know about that fat chap that they call Santa Claus, but in Spain the tradition is the three magii, or Three Wise Men: Melchor, Gaspar and Baltasar.
Now, Baltasar has always been depicted as a Black, and until recently it was performed by guys with their faces painted in black. Now they are starting to take the jobs from Spaniards. These are pictures from one village in 2004. Here is Melchor..  ... and Gaspar..  ... and see what happens when the children see Baltasar!!!
