Um, Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christianity. I don't know what else there is to "believe in" during christmas. lol. Santa Claus (just FYI, although most probably know) comes from St. Nicklaus, a german who went around giving gifts to the poorer children of his town. This eventually spawned into him doing this constantly for all good children in German speaking countries (if you were bad a demon looking creature called the Krampus would come instead and haul u away in a basket -- remember where the brothers Grimm originated from lol). Eventually (i don't know the other steps) we in america added reindeer, the north pole and elves (but not like the lord of the ring elves, lol). This is really PC run amok. See what happens when Hillary Clinton gets closer to Canada?

Even though for me, it's the religion, which produces good will, i say i agree I'm tired of all the political correctness that constantly gets in the way of politeness and friendliness.
It's also a reason why i dislike feminism (aside from the fact that I'm a Christian). Women used to be abused and beaten constantly (and still are in a lot of countries). That is very VERY wrong, true. But now, it's getting rediculous. Men and women first of all are different (it doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell u that). I kind of laugh when i hear things like "women make 75 cents on a dollar a man makes". This is due to the fact that more men are CEOs and more women gravitate to things like helping the elderly, PT, or teaching (which, don't frankly pay well). I say drop the whole gender wars. I still believe in chivalry (and practice it constantly -- although throwing my coat on a puddle is a little excessive -- usually pointing it out is good enough). Feminism has become something that kills chivalry and makes women disgusted when i do something polite like open doors for them (ya, i do that for all women, not just my girlfriend). I don't get it. By doing chivalrous acts, u are lifting the woman up, not making her an object, not saying that she is unequal to u (at least in the negative sense). I really think common day feminism is making men not be men and women not be women. Sad 
. I wait for the day i'm arrested for pushing my wife's chair in for her as she sits.
Gist of a statment from a leading feminist -- Christianity has made women slaves to their husbands. We need to rise up as women, bury the shackles of marriage and go back to women-based religions...like witchcraft.
(i'm not making this up lol).

Actually, most of the things i've found is that the 75 (or 72 or whatever it is for the day lol) cents is based without regard to field, experience, and/or job level. It's really odd. I've actually talked to a lot of women and men in the field (computer science) and professors at my college and it turns out that almost always the women are paid a little better (possibly to avoid lawsuits ). These are the women in these institutions saying this, lol, not the men.
"I know i have less education and experience than most of my colleague professors here, but i also know that i make more annual salary. It's sort of odd when you think about it." - Profesor C. from the gonzaga school of business (a woman).
I'm not saying that women never get the short end of the stick, i just think it's overrated.

Really?
LOL!
I like the joke: QUICK, WHAT'S THE NUMBER FOR 911!

I don't think so... there is something fishy about this. Must be that the Australians stole it from us
