To My Democratic Friends:
"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, our best wishes for
an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress,
non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday,
practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion
of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the
religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice
not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. We also wish you a
fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated
recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without
due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that
America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America
in the Western Hemisphere. And without regard to the race, creed, color,
age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishes.
By accepting these greetings you are accepting these terms. This greeting
is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no
alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to
actually implement any of the wishes for herself or himself or others, and
is void where prohibited by law and is revocable at the sole discretion of
the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual
application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance
of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is
limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole
discretion of the wisher."



To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmeeeeeennnnnn!

Nothing like using the holidays to denigrate people you disagree with. I'm still amazed that people assert their belief in a so called Christian holiday by engaging in a cultural war against anyone who doesn't share their beliefs. Somehow that doesn't seem to exemplify the philosophy espoused by the Hebrew speaking dark-skinned Palestinian Rabbi who is the inspiration for such holiday.

BTW, this shouldn't be on the general forum. A thread whose purpose is not to promote Playa but rather to belittle people who don't agree with the poster should properly be on the off topic forum. But then again, when you're out to put people down, it probably doesn't matter where you post .

Bravo, Tony I'm very happy to see this moved from the General forum.

Shame on you Brent&Kim for posting such a jackassholian pile of crap.

Happy Holidays to all! However it is said, the meaning is the same.

Geez.. It's just an e-mail joke going around....I got one too. Nothing to get all bent out of shape about. Accept it for what it is.. a joke.

[Barb&Meg]

Exactly. It's just a joke. As a life long Democrat, i can assure that this joke is intended to poke fun at us and make us laugh at ourselves and not to denegrate anyone else.

Its just a joke Tony, I didnt write it, it just forwarded it to get some laughs! I'll bet if Bumper would have posted it he would not have not received the same response from you.

Speaking for myself I think that "joke" has worn pretty thin. Would a joke about the hypocracy of Republican Christians being more concerned about whether or not their local grocery clerk says "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" instead of caring about who is cold, hungry or homeless be treated as funny on this board...or would there be outrage? I think the latter.

The whole right wing "people are too PC" attitude on this board needs some counter balance...and making cheap jokes at the expense of people who disagree with such philosophy isn't the way to achieve it. And I'm not quite sure how anyone gets to "assure" others that the purpose of this "joke" was not to denigrate anyone but merely to poke fun at them (!!!) . What the hell is the difference between making fun of someone (making them other and lesser than you) and denigrating them?

Tony, wouldn't you agree that the republicans and Bush have been the butt of many jokes the past 7 years? Even all the talk show hosts make fun of them. Or is this joke a little too close to home for comfort? It definatlely struck a nerve.

Why is everyone so touchy this month? It's the holidays, one that (what ever you believe in) is meant to wish peace and joy to mankind. Instead of fighting thru posts..send a pm to the offender...and help keep the peace...or just don't respond. Silence is golden....Now..I need to follow my own advice.

[JudyBluEyes]

Haha!!! I thought it was aimed at the Republicans...

[Seakony]

It actually does makes fun at both parties. Now I'm offended!
