The Competition

You're too kind, as always.

As for the Muslims, they're like the bad guys from Indianna Jones and the Temple of Doom, but without the cool, mind-controlling skull-juice.

I also don't think they have secret temples with built in volcanoes, but I could be wrong.

You're right! Why is it that we are constantly asked to change our Christian ways to accomodate others. I get really ticked off to hear Fall Party instead of Halloween Party. Or this gem, Winter Fest instead of Christmas Party. Growing up, I lived near a Catholic family who converted to being Jehovah's Witnesses. They never once turned down a birthday gift or Christmas gift we gave them out of respect and I even did some of their field Sundays. They also never kept their children away from said parties.
It can only offend them if they let it. I say get over it!! Suck it up! Drive on! Stay home during Ramadan so you can wash your feet or shut up!! Oops! did I just start ranting? :)

Ranting is fun. I try to stop when I border on genocidal... like suggesting Ramadan be held in Alaska... :;cough:: Hey, is that homework calling me? ::runs away:: :-P

that during "winterfest" ahem, the socialist schools hide the red and green construction paper so no child will be tempted to give in to Christmas art?
Whoops. I said it, Christmas. The PC police will be after me now.

... and white paper are for! Wait... would giving them white paper promote racism?!? AIEEEEE!!! Don't taze me, PC police! (I'm evil...)

Though Ann is a tough act to follow, he would have an INORDINATE amount of competition. Most of them rather heavily armed. :) GunnyG might have something to say on the matter. ;)
