Rugian rank	Wed Dec 08 19:50:22 2021 Pope Francis has compared the EU to a 'Nazi dictatorship' for trying to impose woke rules on language and ban using the word Christmas. The pope, 84, warned the bloc not to 'take the path of ideological colonisation' as he returned from Greece after a four-day trip. Last week, the EU was accused of trying to 'cancel Christmas' after telling staff to avoid the word in favour of 'holiday period' because it could be offensive to non-Christians. Eurocrats published the rule months ago as part of a guide on 'inclusive communication', details of which leaked leading to a furious backlash. Other suggestions in the book included replacing Christian names such as Mary and John with 'international' names such as Malika and Julio when using them in generic examples, and swapping the word 'man-made' for 'human-induced'. http://www...guage-rules-ban-Christmas.html
tumbleweed rank	Wed Dec 08 20:01:15 2021 i doubt it said "because it could be offensive to non-Christians" just for the standard reasons stores started using "Happy Holidays"... it wasn't a D law that was rolled back by former guy, it's them just wanting to be welcoming to all for their own benefit
murder rank	Wed Dec 08 21:08:50 2021 Happy Holidays ... because there's more than one. ;o)
Rugian rank	Wed Dec 08 21:28:52 2021 Tw is really threading the needle in order to defend the EU here. But you are wrong, as usual. Europe is the center of EUROPEAN culture, and Christmas is an integral part of that culture. It should not be offensive to evoke the term Christmas in Europe of all places.
tumbleweed rank	Wed Dec 08 21:47:26 2021 and i just said i doubt the reason was due to being "offensive" the guidelines seemed to be about extreme inclusivity not attacking Christianity i briefly looked to find the actual text but didn't find it
Paramount rank	Wed Dec 08 23:10:20 2021 Apparently, Boston banned Christmas for over two decades in the 1600s. It was officially illegal to observe Christmas in Boston by taking the day off from work, feasting, or celebrating in any other way. Those in violation were fined five shillings. http://www...istory/boston-banned-christmas
tumbleweed rank	Thu Dec 09 23:14:03 2021 "here's the thing, in New York under the new liberal policies of bail reform, arson is only a felony... you can only be held if a felony... arson is only a felony if the person tries to harm a person or commits a hate crime, and apparently lighting a christmas tree on fire is not a hate crime" ~ dumb guy "Who says it's not a hate crime against us, against Fox News?" ~dumbest guy video: http://twitter.com/revrrlewis/status/1468933370621136907 i do... everyone does... & they would too if it was a CNN tree also, apparently they spent $500,000 on that fake tree (or are lying for outrage, or insurance fraud)
tumbleweed rank	Fri Dec 10 01:06:58 2021 apparently it was also an attack on America at the replacement fake tree lighting ceremony: "I’m here because these colors do not run. 80 years ago this week, they tried to extinguish the darkness in a place called Pearl Harbor. We didn’t fold then, and we won't fold now!" http://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1469068572857184260 seems a bit different than Pearl Harbor to me...
kargen rank	Fri Dec 10 03:12:02 2021 Well it is a red white and blue tree and was being called the "all-American Christmas" tree. Pearl Harbor was a stretch though. At least they didn't bring some idiot on half a dozen times to say worse than Watergate. ""The moms that want to rape their fucking daughter’s — they set it on fire," Tamanaha shouted before asking reporters for a cigarette." If Blasio's wife hadn't stole near a billion dollars that was suppose to help the mentally ill this person would have had a place to go. Instead he is back out on the street and probably not done lighting fires. To thank the firefighters and police who responded Fox news is making a $100,000 donation to "Answer The Call," a charity benefiting police, fire and first responders killed in the line of duty.
murder rank	Fri Dec 10 21:14:40 2021 "I’m here because these colors do not run." It sounds like he's daring someone to bring some bleach.
