I feel like striking someone. Seriously. I can't stand society anymore. People are the absolute dumbest life forms on the planet.

Speaking of which, does anyone remember the "mosh pit" Santa commercial that MTV used to run when they played music? Does anyone have a semi-handy link they can PM me?

Nothing is safe from these people - in 2006 a Toronto judge removed a Christmas tree from the Hall of Justice because he/she thaught that it could offend non-christians.

1.The tree is a pagan symbol
2. 77% of canadians have declared to be christians
3. Even atheists celebrate christmas- it has become more about family gathering and gifts than about Jesus.

In Quebec we also had the elections director decide to let veiled women vote - even though none asked for that right.

Next thing you know they'll talk about taking out cigarettes from movies ... wait a minute

Note that this happened in Australia, not the USA. I refuse to get worked up over the follies of godless foreigners.

I guess it's time for Wild-Eyed Bill O'Reilly to break out the boycott of Australia.

I'm willing to agree with you on that one, today.

Thank you M. Moderator for deleting the photo. Over the line was my thought exactly once I recovered from the jarring effect.
