Animals don't have hissy fits over the stupidest crap and subject others to suffer for their idiocy.
People do.
ZOMG! Its sooooo prejudice to have Santa on a cola can. You can't call it Christmas! Its oppressive!
Ever consider how YOU are oppressing Christians and people that LIKE Santa? I like Santa. Maybe I WANT a jolly old fat guy with unusual fashion sense on my soda and all over my house in December. This is America, and thats my right to decide. Get the heck out of my life and liberty you psychotic fruitcakes!
If you don't like Santa or want to say "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" than that is YOUR right. But don't go freaking out on others who don't share those views and attempting to force them to coddle your bs. You say "Happy Holidays" and allow them to say "Merry Christmas". Its simple. WHY try and ban crap.
Bored Americans today are Ban-happy.
OMG! That books about WIZARDS! EVVVVVILLLLLL!!!! BAN IT!
OMG, That store employee said a simple holiday greeting to me. HOW DARE SHE! BAN HOLIDAY GREETINGS!
OMG, Coke put Santa back on the soda can, OPPRESSION! BAN SANTA!
OMG, I'm an idiot that doesn't know anything about dog breeds and canine behavior, BAN THAT BREED!
OMG, Kids playing with plastic bracelets in silly shapes and acting like kids, BAN THE BRACELETS!
OMG, Kids like flavored products so flavored cigarettes MUST be targeted at kids, BAN THEM (but leave the flavored cigars, because thats totally different)!
OMG, They love each other and want to get married, but their marriage doesn't LOOK like mine. BAN THEIR RIGHT TO MARRY! (How would you like someone to tell you that YOU couldn't marry the love of your life because they didn't like or respect your choice?)
Seriously people. GET THE HELL OVER YOURSELVES.
Don't like something, Don't do it. Don't buy it. Don't use it.
BUT LEAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO OTHERS.
If a company wants to have a Christian image or celebrate a specific Holiday by name. Thats their choice. Want to change it? Buy out the company and change policy. If not, shut up and mind your own.
This is America, you like your right to be a royal pain in the arse? Thats fine. But stop trampling the rights of others in the process.
And even if you disagree with something, like Gay marriage for example... Think about the legal precedence you are setting. And the reasons you give in setting them.
You are giving the government the precedent to tell Americans who they can and can not marry. Not too long ago, inter-racial marriage wasn't allowed either and was heavily discouraged. Do you really want to give government the power to tell you that you cant marry X individual, no matter how much you love them, because of their race? Or age difference (assuming both are legal consenting adults)? Or because of health concerns? How about back-tracking so far that any marriage where children could not be conceived is grounds for nullification?
I mean, thats actually one of the points used in support of banning gay marriage: They can't procreate. Well, then where does that put the heterosexual couples who can't have kids... Or who don't even WANT to have kids? Should their marriages be banned and nullified too? If that is put down on the books as grounds for banning marriage... That puts *MY* marriage at risk. And your's too, should you be found infertile, unable to have children due to health risks or just childless by choice. Is that really a risk you want to take?
When you start trampling the rights of others and banning things left and right, you put your own rights and interests at very serious risk.
Thats something Americans need to really start thinking about.
