Different People, and their dislike of one another..
My whole country has grown to a point where it is looked down upon to “dislike” someone. For pretty much any reason this is seen as unacceptable, and undesirable.
Why?
I mean that in all seriousness.. Why? If reporters can give away our government’s secrets hiding under “freedom of speech”, why can’t someone dislike someone else? I’m not saying you have a right to hate people, but maybe you do have that right. Maybe you have the right to be disgusted in another human being or group of human beings. Is it a “good thing”? I would say hating at all is a bad thing.. but do you have a right to do it if you so choose? I think the answer to this is yes. I don’t, but I should have all the right of anyone in our country to suddenly decide to HATE tall people, short people, fat people, skinny people.. etc.
Mostly I am bothered by being called down by supervisors for calling our “holiday party” a office “christmas party”. I realize not everyone on earth, or even in our town celebrates christmas, but lets face it.. It is THE holiday right now. Jews are a minority, so are people that celebrate the ficticious holiday of Kwanza. So they should be well aware of their status as a minority and not be terribly bothered if *shock* most people celebrate christmas. If you are one of those people who feel it necessary to have me refer to MY holiday as a “christma-hana-kwanz-ika”.. BITE ME. I don’t celebrate a “holiday”. I celebrate CHRISTMAS. If you don’t, fine. If I realize you celebrate the jewish holiday, I would of course wish you luck in that.. happy hannukah, happy kwanza.. happy antswarming day… whatever.
I DON’T find it necessary to poll you to see if you celebrate one of the smaller holidays. If I say merry christmas, and you want me to say happy hannukah.. tell me. Do NOT get offended.. Be INTELLIGENT to the affect that MOST of this country does celebrate christmas. If I decide to call the new years, smally-nose-goof-day. I wouldn’t decide that you were obviously racist for not KNOWING I call it smally-nose-goof-day. I would ASSUME, you would call it New Years and would be wishing me well in the way you knew yourself. At work they fuss and fume about “diversity”.. Without realizing that diversity has no implication of change in it. It merely means that you accept the difference. Notice the word “accept” doesn’t say “like, Love” in it.. I notice people are different, its just the way it is. People should be allowed not to like me on the basis that I call new years smally-nose-goof-day. Just like I don’t like people who follow the crowd of morons that succomb to anothers beliefs before standing up for their own. I am ME. Not YOU. If I were YOU I would do things YOUR way. Since I’m not, STOP WHINING ABOUT ME DOING THINGS MY WAY…
If you disagree in any way.. please, please go play in a pasture and eat grass.. Because you are a sheep, in desperate need of a shepherd.. And personally.. I’m not up to shepherding any sheep around..
