    Peters is the shit my friend. The guy has me in stitches every single time I see him on the tube or listen to him on the radio.

    I remember way back once upon a time when he was a nobody and a buddy of mine worked at Yuk-Yuks, so he invited a few of us to see him and the rest of the show. Peters comes on stage and in a middle eastern accent says "who ordered the cab?". The place goes quiet thinking that some crazy cab driver decided to see if his fare was in the audience by grabbing the mike. That was my introduction to Peters and I have laughed with his jokes ever since. He is priceless when he is doing his dad at the barbeques.

    I didn't really know about him til someone sent me a link on facebook. I can't stop watching now. He is so spot on about the Indian stuff too! He could be doing my parents!

    Here's another one about mexicans - I was laughing so hard I just choked on my lunch!

    My lovely lass who is Canadian but made up of Irish and Scot tips very nicely when we go out. I think she feels bad for the stereotype and does her best to try and break the mold. ;)
    Yep, I'm from a place called Cavan where we have a reputation for being mean. I've always felt the need to go above and beyond proving it's wrong :o . Irish people in general are pretty generous though.

    Huh? So you don't give you kid a christmas pressie? Or a birthday pressie or anything? Oh so your mother in law is a JW so that means I can't say whatever without offending you? My two cousins who died in a fire who I love dearly were JW... doesn't mean I have to like the bloody religion. My aunt and uncle never stopped my parents from giving US presents. And if a parent has problems with other kids getting presents cos they can't give their own kids one, that's OBVIOUSLY cos their kids WANT one, if the kids want christmas banned they must be jealous cos they can't celebrate it themselves. Whatever you think, let your kids integrate.
    When did I say I was offended? I couldn't care less, Helen. Truly. And why would someone else stop your parents from giving you a present in the first place?

    hmm... I'm sorry, I thought you were defending the whole 'ban christmas for fear of offending others' thing. That's where the JW thing came up... you brought it up saying that the poor jw kid in the class can't celebrate christmas so it's not fair on him/her that everyone else did.


    I'M saying if the kid wants to bloody celebrate christmas that badly, why not let him? It's not as if christmas has any religious significance for most anymore anyway.

    That is why we created Festivus Helen. :) lol
    I know what you are saying. I love Christmas too. I get all crazy on the glitter and ornaments and lights. Go to see Santa and all of that.
    I was just sayin....well, you know what I was saying.
    Happy Kwanza! :)

    what? Seriously? What's so offensive about a kid dressed as satan? :confused:

    I bet he could wear the costume any other day and people would think he's a little strange... but they wouldn't be offended.

    what the fuck is festivus? :eek:

    And no, as nicely as I can possibly put it, I really cannot see the PC side of this at all... trust me I HAVE tried to see where you're coming from... but it all comes down to 'bullshit' at the end every time for me.

    If you learned to laugh at it and not take it so personally, it really is quite funny.
    So I am, what did that person call me, oh yes, a douche. lol I am not out to offend people or get pissed off about something as insignificant as giving someone a present. I don't serve bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches to my Kosher friends and I don't send them a card with a decorated tree on it.
    I don't take my kid trick or treating to my mother in laws and I don't partake in stereotypes.
    I have more important things to get pissed off about.

    My kid can't even wear his fucking Halloween costume to school on Halloween because of all these PC fucks!

    In my old neighbourhood some kids would come around with just a bag and no costume and they were from "another place on this globe", and I would ask: "What are you dressed as?". Neither the kid nor the parent could spit out enough English to answer the question, so I would toss them a little piece of candy and be happy to see the kids who are into the spirit of halloween. I guess they were trying. But now after 911 I could just ask if they are Osama or another big leader from that part of the world. Glad we are in the "anti-PC" thread to toss this kind of stuff out. ;) Glad I don't live in that neighbourhood anymore!

    another question... if you DID send your kosher friends a card with a decorated tree on it... how EXACTLY would they be offended by it? How could they? If I had Jewish friends and they gave me whatever it is they give eachother or whatever, I'd be well pleased :) . I like joining in in this stuff. Jaysus, any excuse for some kinda celebration. Can you imagine me telling the muslim I work with who takes his breaks for his prayers that it offends me? :confused: No I wouldn't cos whatever anyone else does doesn't come close to offending me. I recognise that we're all different and all have different beliefs and customs... but all these beliefs and customs CAN co-exist. There is NO way in hell that I would tell anyone to abandon some kinda tradition cos I don't celebrate it... :confused: how feckin arrogant would that be?


    And how is it funny? :confused:

    Lazy kids at halloween fucking piss me off... we have fucking TEENAGERS landing to the door in their fucking tracksuits with their hands out :eek: what the fuck? and throw an egg at my door, I'll throw ten of them back at ya ya lazy fucker. We had to PERFORM, whether it was a fucking song, a dance, a tune on the tinwhistle or, for the poor talentless fuckers, a joke.

    Oh dear, I feel like I'm running around in circles here... that's what a LOT of what is called POLITICAL CORRECTNESS is these days. Back to the points I made in the beginning which I assumed you're defending... about why some towns can't put up a christmas tree... why I must say happy holidays rather than happy christmas... why I should feel bad for sending somebody a christmas card when they're not christian... the kid who can't wear a halloween costume to school... sooooooooooo much of that going on.

    Actually I don't think people are asking us to give up our beliefs... but just not celebrate them in public :confused: even though most celebrations are more tradition than religion.

    Again, how and why would your friend be offended by you sending a Christmas card? That's all I want to know.

    Like I said I would join in ANY festivity and anyone's more than welcome to join in mine if they feel bad for not being involved.

    The puritans in America never liked Christmas. They passed an anti-Christmas law in 1659, in New England. (Thankfully, it was repealed in 1681.) It was the Irish, who love a good piss-up and a singsong, who really brought Christmas to America in a big way, from the famine era (c.1848-50) onwards. There's loads of evidence to back this up. Get diggin'.



    So, the next time anyone says, let's be po-faced and celebrate Thanksgiving seriously and forget about Christmas, say, fakkoff, you puritanical kyaaaants, we're here to party!

    If they can't take a Christmas tree in public, then a turban, beenie and whatever religious piece of clothing stating a religion should be shunned upon too. You know to keep things even and make people equal. ;)

    Where did I say I was offending her by sending her a card with a tree on it?
    I said I WOULDN"T. Why the fuck would I? She sends me a Christmas card and I send her a Hanukkah card. We don't celebrate the same holidays. What is so difficult to understand about that?
    She came to my wedding out in the field with a JP and I went to her Jewish ceremony. Partaking in each other's customs and beliefs is PC Helen. I don't send her a card with a tree because I don't want to. I don't send ANYONE a card with a tree. I have always sent some peace card. And I say happy holidays because it is the season of holidays.

    :confused: that's fine... that's all I wanted to know... it's just this argument comes up every year and there are always a couple of arseholes who think that me walking around saying happy christmas to everyone regardless of their beliefs is HUGELY insulting... while realistically I'm just being inclusive and friendly :) . You just seemed to be making some kinda point by saying you wouldn't send her a card with a tree... I got the impression you meant it was because it would be offensive to her... but cool that you send eachother the different celebration cards.

    Christmas is NOT a season :confused: WINTER is! Do you say happy winter to people? Christmas is christmas and that's that. And it just sounds so much nicer and cuter :) happy Christmas :)

    happy holidays just sounds fake like 'ehhh... well happy whatever the fuck you are'

    Are you really just reading what you want to read? Maybe over there all you celebrate is Christmas during the winter season. Over here people celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's and Kwanza. Those are holidays.
    Happy Holidays.

    well, whatever you celebrate, how anyone could get offended by me wishing them happiness WHATEVER time of the year is beyond me :confused:

    I've known plenty of muslims and have been a mosque several times with a muslim friend... I've wished them a happy christmas and they didn't get offended :confused: . If they were to reply with happy whatever I'd say thanks. I really really really cannot see what the big deal is.
