I find it ironic that The US has religiously (Yes very religious!) based laws which prevent people from legally ending their lives when they're terminal, and there is no huge discussion, but when a Christmas tree is removed, that's a big deal. Oh boy is that important... Priorities, anyone...?

Deny terminal cancer patients the right to die with some dignity -> should be tolerated
Make healthcare choices for women which are no government business -> should be tolerated
Deny Gay people the right to mary -> should be tolerated
Naming a Christmas tree a holiday tree -> OMFG SATAN
Removing a Christmas tree -> OMFG BLASPHEMY DISRESPECT HOW DARE YOU, HELL IS WAITING.

Spot the irony? I do.[/quote]

Because the 3rd biggest nation in the world, having a population of 300 million people, and spanning Ocean coast to Ocean Coast, totally acts like the Bible Belt. Very mature. :roll:[/quote]
Too bad this is about Christian based laws and Christian holidays which are practiced within one nation. I shouldn't have named US. I know that's blasphemy to you. I'm sorry, but the country just gets judged over its stupidest citizens on issues like this. Christmas trees? Don't we have a crisis to fix and a war to end? Pretend I didn't say US. Pretend I said "some suspiciously conservative democracy"

Very mature? Please, keep the high horse.

Edit
I forgot to specify: with stupidest I mean both sides of this war. Atheists or secularists who do this are completely nuts. I'm not gonna be biased.

I think this is an issue of political correctness gone crazy.

Removal of the trees or anything remotely Christian during Christmas is because a group of liberals don't wish to offend our Muslim and Jewish neighbors, hence why some cities don't want the Nativity scene in public.

But here is some food for thought. If one of you moved to Saudi Arabia or Israel, do you expect those counties to stop it with Ramadan or Yom Kippur just because you don't abide by that religion?
Death is a challenge. It tells us not to waste time… It tells us to tell each other right now that we love each other.
