It's all based on the needs of a society. For example, in Tibet, there is still a group that seems odd to us but makes perfect sense. Land is scare there, and dividing up the farmland would take too much time and be nearly impossible to do. That is why in the family, the brothers all marry one woman. She becomes the head of the household, in a sense.

The Iroquois women were looked on as important members of society, not just trophy wives and homemakers. It isn't uncommon for women to have a more powerful position in society than men, but they tend to be as follows: men hunt and fight, women take care of the homestead. Why? Men are naturally stronger than women, on average. Heck, even Lions run things that way, but the females still rule.

and to what extent are they natural?

I think as the basis, the women are more stable, which is why we sent men out to fight. But their importance in society always varies from one to another. If you're afraid that your child will not be your own, you keep your woman at home. That's what happened in Euro-American society and culture, for the most part.

Not really

You want free speech? Ok. You don't have to then get on everyones case about 'Merry Christmas'. You have your free speech. What makes yours better, or more appropriate, then the next guy?

Yeah, okay, but I said nothing about it.

It didn’t make anything more complicated at all. You just don’t buy and put up Christmas decorations at state installations. It makes sense. Unless you want to be fair and celebrate every holiday as it was intended, stripping them of the commercialism, dogma, and glowing lights, then sure, celebrate all of them.

"The divide between what is deemed offensive and what is not is becoming blurred and yet more defined.":

it isn’t blurred at all.

Everyday it seems as if we are getting something 'controversial' thrown at us. Let's go with how you tell people to have a good holiday...

Some groups want to hear Happy Holidays rather then Merry Christmas because it is offensive.

I don’t celebrate Christmas, so I don’t give a care.

What makes Merry Christmas offensive? It's not like I just forced you to believe in Christ. I'm wishing you a happy holiday in the way I was taught to do so, and I think it is fine.

If you’re wishing someone a ‘happy holiday’, then say it! You said it yourself. Drop the Christian crap and say happy holidays, unless you don’t care and you’re saying it to avoid a bigger conversation.

Perhaps I find 'Hapy Holidays' offensive because the word 'Happy' denotes gay

Little kids are happy when they get a Nintendo DS in their stockings on Christmas. Therefore, all happy children are gay, yet sad children are straight.

Maybe I am a homophobe. I am now offended, and because of my rights, I demand that it be thrown away.

Homophobes = Atheists and other non-believers of God? Great correlation.

Okay, what if I’m gay and I hate the British idiom “fag” for cigarettes?

Oh well, but it isn’t a religious-themed word. Like Christmas, which is about, OMG, Christ; Jesus.

Again, why did this have to turn into a religion topic? It was really about the Judge, and the rest was all me having fun with their ideology. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.

Are we? More like we are temporarily trading a bit of civil liberty for a bit of security, which is commonplace in wartime.

Don’t get a jaded liberal-demon started about that.

I would ask you to reevaluate your position if you're so concerned about civil liberties.

When the “leader of the free world” lies to everyone on countless occasions, you kinda stop believing him. Don’t be coy, you know the patriot act was bullshit. That doesn’t have anything to do with my views of civil liberties and how we’ve lost our rights.

No, that's not true. How are Jews oppressed?

Fox News. Seriously.

Don't they own the media, and Hollywood?

How’s that for continuing the stereotype?

Muslims, granted, are in more of a pickle today because we are at war with radical Islam. But you can't honestly tell me that a little suspicion after September 11th is natural, if not justified.

No. I’m not John Q. Public, so I don’t believe that every Arab is a radical who wants to blow shit up. But, if everyone took time off to observe (or have a chance to learn more about their holidays since we focus so much on the Christian ones), the people would understand that better.

What about Hindus? They aren't oppressed.

Hindus = Terrorists, or at least that’s what I’ve seen

Face it, buddy, the only religion that you can impune or insult in this country with only a minor backlash is Christianity, particularly Catholicism.

Yeah, because they’re caught up in their hypocrisy, lies, and scandals.

You can say that Christians are a bunch of hicks who live in the South

Evangelicals. Nuff said

Are you complaining about time off? Huh. That's strange.

How is that strange? I like school. I don’t mind working. Why, do you hate your classes? Maybe you should change your major.

And Hollywood is one of the great alienators of society

Usually, that’s the Christian side of the media with the bias, but that’s not 100%. But when I watch the credits and see a Christian-based company, and seldom, if never, an uninfluenced one, you start to think that the “Jews of Hollywood” that everyone talks about aren’t spewing the bullshit.

I disagree entirely. Singing Jesus songs is not forced assimilation. Refusing to allow all cultures to reflect themselves, even the majority culture, is forced assimilation.

Why should we sing Christmas songs if we don’t want to? I was sent to the Principals office every time I didn’t want to sing some Christmas song. How is that fair? I know that isn’t the only case. If someone doesn’t care for the beliefs of others and politely announces that they do not want to participate, then it is only fair that we can go quietly and do something else, correct? I didn’t go to school to celebrate a religion, which I found to be flawed, hypocritical, and immoral. I went to learn about Math and History; fields of study based on fact, not the writings of some monk who proclaimed that Jesus was, in fact, our Lord and savior.

But what do I know? Those are my feelings on the subject of religion, which I’m not here to talk about. I’m talking about how the right is saying that assigning this Judge will save Christmas and that the liberals, apparently, destroying the holiday.

Comments were counter-productive

As for the rest of the thread... I don't see what is wrong with having someone in your system who is an advocate for free expression... Seems sensible to me. People need to let stuff slide. The divide between what is deemed offensive and what is not is becoming blurred and yet more defined.

Thank you. You should have said that in the first place. Though, you could expand the idea a little more.

In the case of the US, you can't let anything slide, given the current State of the Union. We're constantly losing rights and freedoms (our President admitted to wiretapping people, come on!). Every other religion is oppressed in our nation, but the only one that bitches about it is the one that has free-reign over things. Christmas being a national holiday? We get time off for that? And then the Moral Majority turns around and says that Jews in Hollywood are shoving Gay culture down our throats (no pun intended) and they feel suffocated? I just want everyone to be free to express him or herself, but in many states and school systems, it isn't just expression or displaying a religion, but rather forced assimilation.

Thanks for taking my line. Tool.

Yet another intelligent comment from a Canadian teen.

It's not about the songs, dumbass, but thanks for playing.

The Bible is open to interpretation, but then again, some drunken scribes wrote is how long ago? No matter what the Bible does or does not say, it’s a crime to kill another person and it’s a personal burden when you do, so I’m told.

In a recent ad campaign, the Republican Party has been promoting the nomination of Judge Samuel Alito to the US Supreme Court.

It's the season when Americans celebrate our traditions of faith ... and once again religious freedom is under assault.

Why? Because liberal groups like People for the American Way and the ACLU have opposed public Christmas and Chanukah displays and even fought to keep Christmas carols out of school.

Some courts and judges have supported this radical agenda, but not Judge Sam Alito, President Bush's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Throughout his career, Judge Alito has consistently upheld the Constitution's protection of free religious expression.

Now, these liberal groups are attacking Judge Alito because he won't support their agenda. Judge Alito believes judges should faithfully interpret the law, not advance political agendas. That's why the liberals are desperately trying to stop Judge Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court, and it's exactly why we need him there.

Call your Senators today and let them know these groups don't speak for you. Ask them to support Judge Alito as our next Supreme Court Justice, because freedom of religious expression is everyone's right ... and not just during this special season, but all year long.

So basically, if you help get him his seat, we will save Christmas. Because we don't have enough religious influence in public schools as it is.

Should I be offended by how many times they use “Liberal” in a negative context?

I don't really care what religious path one follows, but I'm a firm believer in separation of church and state. Now, how can you say that the majority of the U.S. is being oppressed by removing Christmas Carols from schools? I was personally offended by the Jesus songs in my public school, and I was Christian at the time.

But no, we should ignore who this judge really is and make sure he's on the Supreme Court so he can save us from the sinners in this illustrious nation of ours. God Bless America for putting up with these non-believers.

Personally, I hate radical groups like PETA because of how they sneak their propaganda across. Going to elementary schools and giving the kids stickers of cute cartoon animals; Oh, of course, their web address on those stickers which leads to over glamorized images that would make any war hero vomit.

Back in the day, Punk music had balls. Now, it doesn't. Simple. Case closed. End.

Okay, clearly showing pop-rock and shitty punk rock as the deciding factor. Yeah, okay.

You make the point about rebellion, but comparing the Ramones (one of the worst punk bands, in my opinion, let alone the worst musicians ever assembled) and Green Day. At one point, you could of said that they were punk, being they had punk roots (and I hate to be cliché about it, but they were influenced by the Stiff Little Fingers and the Clash). However, their lyrics are thought out and meaningful, so they couldn’t possibly be anything like the blind emotions of punk rock.

If you compared it to one of today’s “punk” bands (e.g. Anti-Flag), you’d be closer to making any point at all.

It’s bogus with every argument because you don’t need to prove your rebellious nature by the way you dress or what bands you listen to. It’s the way you think and act, ignoring the influence of others that might change how you feel.
