A Politically Correct Christmas Greeting.

    Please accept with no obligation, Implied or implicit, my 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 or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religions or secular tradition at all.
    In addition: “a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 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 or is the only ‘America' in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation of the wisher”

    (Disclaimer: By accepting this greeting, 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 her/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 who assumes no responsibility for any unintended emotional stress these greetings may bring to those not caught up in the holiday spirit.)

    In other words, may I wish you a very happy, healthy and holy Christmas and a very happy New Year!

    N.B. Mods. I'm not sure where is the best place for this wheter it be: Humour, Politics or Here, Move wherever you think.

    Sorry, I take offence to that. Celebrating the winter solstice would suggest affiliations with paganism, please rephrase....:D

    With some small alterations (namely rewriting the America passage a little), I now have a new email footer. And when I think of who it came from...

    Sorry, that was my fault. I'm not quite sure what was happening.


    Wait, why am I apologising to Osama Bin Laden? You fcuker, you killed my capitalist side! Grrr.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 56 ✭✭OsamaBinLaden


    i did no such thing. it was the damn saudi's. not my fault the decided to crash a few planes.
    anyway, i'm off to celebrate hannukah because i've recently converted to judaism. enjoy your faux holiday. you're all gonna burn in hell for not following the teachings of the old testament or something. and why do you people still have foreskin? don't you understand the implications of having foreskin? blasphemers, all of you.
