Google is afraid of the ACLU and other left wing nuts
 

Last year I clearly remember a Christmas and Hanukkah themed logo. This year they went with a safe mouse and a "Happy Holidays". Even the alternate logo they let you choose from has nothing to do with the two major holidays of the season.

I don't even like Christmas and I find this so fucking sad.

You're not showing up on my ICQ...just e-mail me

yahoo isn't afraid

I think its great nobody should force people to believe in something

this is suppose to be a free land

ummm yeah.... we all got together and decided to ban christmas. I guess you didn't get the memo.
:flagface

Can't stand the PC bullshit

That's just the thing though a lot of these nuts only want it thier way and that is what pisses me off. I say be fair to everybody and let them celebrate how they want.

That's because I'm not logged on right now. I put that thread up last night.

I don't do email.

Do you people actually believe that somebody from the ACLU told Walmart they couldn't say Merry Christmas? Do you think that Walmart takes their orders from the Great Liberal Anti-Christmas Conspiracy? Are you that easy to decieve?

No wonder Bill O'Reilly's a millionaire.

Bill O'Reilly is a good man. the spin stops here

Yep the big corps and the Gov try to push shit on us all the time.
they even make laws on how we should raise our kids and have sex when will it all end.

fuck Big biz and the people should start taking there country back from the 1% who control it. and shove there beliefs down your throat
there should be a cap on how much someone makes like 250 mil a year. why does someone need 1 billion dollars. soon there will be no middle class just rich and poor like most 3rd worlds :2 cents:

the disney Ceo gets paid 500 mil a year thats crazy and he doesnt even own it.

What is it that has awoken these people? Is it the fact that we have a President that is heavily into his faith? Christmas has been celebrated the same way in this country for at least 100 years.

I was born and raised catholic. confirmed and all. i am now agnostic and don't see much into christmas. but the way this country is turning into such a godless place is really scaring me :1orglaugh

um it is christmas lights powered by a mouse on a wheel..christmas lights

He likes to force girls to talk about rubbing loofas on his asshole whether they like it or not. I guess he can't be all bad.

Merry Christmas to you, Mr.I-don't-give-a-fuck-about-what-people-think-I-celebrate. Mr.you-can-call-me-a-jew-and-I-wouldn't-care.

Being festive isn't forcing someone to believe in something.

Fuck Political Correctness.

nothing wrong with a little phone sex after a hard day at work

because we are not living in cave ages anymore and the information at our finger tips now is endless.. Kinda funny how every religion thinks their people will be the only ones in heaven.

My mother is a Jew my father is a christian and i went to catholic school but now I have learned to think on my own and until I see something to make me belive in a god again I will.
But when I see the Pope blessing ferrari's and wearing Prada shoes and Priest molesting kids and good people always getting screwed
Either there is no GOD or he is a Fucked up Individual :2 cents:

Ya what the fuck was up with that anyways? I saw that on VH-1's best week ever.

I couldnt fuckin believe it.. there are more important things or people that need to be blessed not a fuckin car. Just shows that even religion is all about big business they dont give a fuck about the starving kids etc.

Until I see some changes fuck religion and the Gov

Is Google afraid of the Aclu or is Google just recognizing that America has become one big melting pot?.

Look at http://www.aclu.org where does it mention anything of what your saying?. I believe this "War On Christmas" has been fake from the begining made up by reich-wing christian fanatics.

check out the lawsuits the ACLU has on the war on Christmas and get back to me

I totally agree with everything you said

isn't that animal cruelty?

I wish people could agree whether we are living in a country dictated to by right-wing religious lunatics or one that is run by left-wing liberal nuts. It gets very confusing when both ends of the political spectrum take turns claiming that the other is behind every perceived evil, particularly on those occasions that both sides blame the other for the same thing.

But maybe while we are having such a reasoned debate, someone could tell me when "liberals" moved away from the center or became anti-religious? Has anyone told the KKK that the ACLU is a left-wing organisation and when exactly did defense of the constitution become the sole province of the left? Come to that, if Republicans are right-wing and Democrats left (another shift I guess I must have missed) and right and left are all nuts, loonies, fanatics or whatever, is anyone normal any more? Who do they vote for?

How The ACLU Didn't Steal Christmas (12/7/2005)

By Fran Quigley
Fran Quigley, Executive Director, Indiana Civil Liberties Union

When the angry phone calls and emails started arriving at the office, I knew the holiday season was upon us. A typical message shouted that we at the American Civil Liberties Union are "horrible" and "we should be ashamed of ourselves," and then concluded with an incongruous and agitated "Merry Christmas."

We get this type of correspondence a lot, mostly in reaction to a well-organized attempt by extremist groups to demonize the ACLU, crush religious diversity, and make a few bucks in the process. Sadly, this self-interested effort is being promoted in the guise of defending Christmas.

For example, the Alliance Defense Fund celebrates the season with an "It's OK to say Merry Christmas" campaign, implying that the ACLU has challenged such holiday greetings. (As part of the effort, you can get a pamphlet and two Christmas pins for $29.)
The website WorldNetDaily touts a book claiming "a thorough and virulent anti-Christmas campaign is being waged today by liberal activists and ACLU fanatics." The site's magazine has suggested there will be ACLU efforts to remove "In God We Trust" from U.S. currency, fire military chaplains, and expunge all references to God in America's founding documents. (Learn more for just $19.95 . . . )

Of course, there is no "Merry Christmas" lawsuit, nor is there any ACLU litigation about U.S. currency, military chaplains, etc. But the facts are not important to these groups, because their real message is this: By protecting the freedom of Muslims, Jews, and other non-Christians through preventing government entanglement with religion, the ACLU is somehow infringing on the rights of those with majority religious beliefs.

Ok this is just about the seperation and church and state.

You are a fucking idiot if you think Google is doing this shit for any reason that involves them being scared of some lawsuit.

ummmm Christmas has the word "Christ" in it for a reason. :2 cents:
its not "believing" in anything, CHRISTMAS IS CHRISTMAS

google rule... but suck sometimes

Bout time someone can see that maybe Google is just being more "general" with their festivness to appeal to the greater crowd and not just one religion in perticular.

Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't have their head screwed on very tight. :2 cents:

fucking pinkos

very good points :)

I find it pathetic everytime some idiot wishes happy holidays when talking about Christmas day. It's just plain stupid for people to be so scared of offending a minority of people (who truth be known wouldn't be offended anyway). I know you're the kind of idiot who does this, but seriously why? Would you be offended if they had Happy Hanukkah on TV, etc in Israel? If I lived there I sure as hell wouldn't be offended, I'd be wishing people Happy Hanukkah myself.

actually, the fact that you even said this in the first place means it's pretty much pointless saying anything to you, or listening to anything you have to say.

the ACLU is nothing but greedy wackos. they use their army of attorneys, pro bono, to go after mostly worthless causes and then sue for legal fees. why did they get $950k for legal fees from san diego when the lawyers were working for free? who got that money? its sad that so many defend and support them because they defend a specific thing that may affect them personally and ignore the majority of the bullshit they pursue.
