Country:  | Britain day: the most stupid idea by Labour ever?
Apparently Mr Brown is going to replace Remembrance day with "Britain Day" as a chance to get back patriotism from skinheads. This is despicable- no more vteran's parades to be replaced with another excuse for late liscenses in pubs

Country: | It sure is, one city in Britain had all Christmas taken away and called it "Winter Festivities" - anyway, Britain day is stupid all around. We have the Patron Saint days that could be celebrated ...St. Andrews, St. George, St. Patrick ...and St. Welsh Sheep Shagging Mother ******.

Country: | The town of Oxford, Nova Scotia (no, not the Oxford  ) actually passed legislation last year, protecting Christmas by law. The idea is catching on across the province too. It's sad indeed when we've reached this point, eh? There'll be none of that politically correct, touchy-feely, nondenominational horse sh*t taking away our festivals, by f*ck. Screw that.  | |

Some Muslims were suing a German town because of the Christmas trees and decorations and so forth saying it was offending there non christian faith. The Germans finally did the right thing for the first time and told them to leave then.

I'll tell you exactly what I find offensive. Muslims or anyone else trying to tell me that my faith, beliefs, or practices offend them.
