Who is it OK to offend?

Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy Ramadan Hanukah, Kwanza whatever your holiday is.

My question is who feelings are more important?

Someone who was brought up to believe in Christmas and has brought their children up the same way now all of a sudden is not allowed to acknowledge or celebrate Christmas in a school because it may offend someone else. Did anyone consider not allowing people to celebrate or acknowledge their holiday offends them? Whose feelings are more important. Remember whether people want to admit it Christmas has been openly celebrated in American school and government since 1776 and now it is not. Why not?

Whether or not people want to acknowledge it this country was Christian based with a openness and an acceptance of all other religions. If it wasn't for the tolerance practiced by the Christians, none of these other religions would be allowed to practice openly in America and now these religions want to shut down or hurt the Christians? These other religions should be thankful that the Christians have allowed them to come here and practice and have not oppressed them as other countries have. They should do well to remember they came to this country for religious freedom and were given it so why are they trying to take away the religious freedom of the people who gave them their freedom?

Other religious groups are not in any way shape or form prohibited from celebrating or acknowledging their holidays why should Christians be?

How can celebrating Christmas offend Jews, Muslims or Blacks aren't these other religions taught tolerance and understanding?

So again who is it alright to offend and who isn't it? It's ok to offend Christians but not other religions why?

Just for the record I belong to no religious sect, group or practice I'm just asking why is always ok to offend certain people but not others. Yes you could take this into the race area of America also.

Boycott self service checkouts.

As much as I enjoyed using the self service check out at the few big box stores I shop in, after thinking about it I stopped doing it. All that self service checkout does is depersonalize more of our lives and it increases the bottom line of the greedy bean counters at the expense of a human to be able to earn a paycheck and feel like a contributing member of society, I am not discussing the pay scale just the fact of how working helps build ones self esteem. So I go to a check out line with a human being, and if they ask me why I say the job I may save maybe mine someday because as long as people are employeed they can and will buy goods and services so my job depends on others buying things.

I can't understand the thinking of bean counters and greedy CEO's if you keep replacing human workers with machines who is going to have the money to buy your product or service?

So BOYCOTT SELF SERVICE CHECKOUT LINES.

Liberal media

Wow, as Eldridge Cleaver said "Too much agreement spoils a chat".

It seems to be an obama love fest out here. All the ostriches (liberal media) with their heads in the ground ignoring the resignation of van jones, and the Acorn (they should and probably will go after them under RICCO) scandal what will be next? The resignation or impeachment of obama? YES!!!! If there is a god and he truly cares about America it will happen soon.

Now the NEA is involved with anti American programs and it's run by someone with a strong tie to obama.

Well the way things are going Glenn Beck and Fox news will go down in history as the saviors of America.

By the way I'll ask again, where are Jackson and Sharpton? Why aren't they out there supporting obama?

 

Where are Sharpton and Jackson?

Where are Sharpton and Jackson? Have they broken with obama? Here are 2 Americans and their followers who have fought for decades for an America they feel should be there. They fought against racism and in the minds of some they were racists in their own right, but through it all they supported the American dream. The dream that let everyone, have a chance at wealth, security, pride no matter their race, gender or ethnic background. So where are they?

Is it because they believe in America and the American dream not obama/pelosi's dream of socialism/communism that they have been banished? Bill Aayers Weather Underground is right in there with obama when the secret service would not have let him near any previous president. In the obama administration I wouldn't be surprised to find out he has his own office and parking space at the White House. Makes sense since it doesn't appear that the current inhabitant of the White House supports anything resembling freedom or the American dream.

Look at all the CZARS appointed. WHY? People in private sector are losing their jobs and pay and here obama is wasting more tax money to feed his ego and pay off political favors. Why aren't any of these CZARS vetted by Congress? Why should people who are in no way accountable to the American people be paid by them and rule over them as czars did in Russia?

But back to the original question where are Sharpton and Jackson? Why weren't they appointed to any position in the obama administration. Again is it because they support a free America for all races and obama only wants a subservient America answerable to him?

Time for patriots to step up to the plate and tell any elected official if they continue supporting oabama in his anti American policies they will be voted out of office.

 

Where’s Biden?

Kinda like a democratic "Where's Waldo"

 

I can't remember hearing or seeing anything about the VP in quite awhile.

 

Has he been replaced by a czar?

 

Is he keeping his distance so when obama goes down in disgrace he won't be tarnished to badly by it?

 

Or what?

 

Granted most veeps aren't in the public view constantly but they are mentioned now and then also they are usually out there stomping for policy and I can't remember him out there or being mentioned prominently enough for the socialist health care bill for me to notice his name. Maybe he took a stand against socialist or government controlled medicine so they have him locked up in some psych unit (government run of course under a czar of misinformation)

 

So where is Biden?

Kennedy arrogance

What total elitist egotistical arrogance coming from that murderer. He should be allowed to anoint his successor????

No!! The voters put in who they want at least that was the plan of the founding fathers, apparently the kennedy's feel they're above this kind of like our lie-berman who is the 'only one who knows what best for israel sorry CT' and let's not forget the pure as mud dodd oh sorry the ethics committee said he did nothing wrong.

 

This also shows the stupidity/moronic idiocy of the majority of the MA voters in putting a murderer back in federal office constantly. CT voters aren't much brighter but as far as I know lie-berman and dodd never killed anyone.

 

I hope Mary Jo gets to greet him on his way to hell and spit in his face to bad she didn't hold on to him in the car. But at least he'll be back together with those 2 garbage brothers of his. Let's see who wins that the kennedy's or the devil. I'm hoping the devil, than they can live in torment for all eternity!

Moral Obligation

mor⋅al

Use moral in a Sentence

–adjective

1.	of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.

 

3.	founded on the fundamental principles of right conduct rather than on legalities, enactment, or custom: moral obligations.

 

4.	capable of conforming to the rules of right conduct: a moral being.

 

5.	conforming to the rules of right conduct (opposed to immoral ): a moral man.

 

 

Interesting definition.

 

My question is when did 'moral' become a license to steal or take money from one group of people and give it to another under the guise of moral obligation?

 

During my formative years I was taught it was my moral obligation to be a honest hardworking productive member of society, not a leech on it. 

 

It appears somehow this definition of the moral obligation has been perverted.  No longer is it a persons moral obligation to be productive member of society, it is the moral obligation of society to take from the productive members and give to the others. 

 

Why?

 

I can understand giving someone the basics, food, food shelter, clothing, medical care, the operative word being BASIC.  A person who works should not have their lifestyle lowered to provide an equivalent lifestyle to someone who chooses not to work.  The American dream was based on having the freedom to make a better life for yourself and your family.  How is this possible now with the government taking more and more money from you in the form of taxes under the guise of it's your moral obligation to help others.  It maybe a moral obligation to assist others less fortunate but it is not a moral obligation to bring your lifestyle down and theirs up to an equal standard.  That is socialism or communism and that is not what America was founded on. 

 

America was based on an individual's right to make themselves the best life they could.  The government's job was to insure that all American citizens had that right.  This appears to have been lost somewhere.  It appears that the officials we have elected to represent our interests have put the right of Americans to better themselves on the proverbial back burner. 

 

This if it is not stopped it is the death of America.  What reason will the upcoming generations have to better themselves, to be inventive or innovative if there is no reward, if everything they work for will be taken from them? 

 

It is time to rethink the perversion of term 'moral obligation' and return it to it's true meaning that being the individual has the moral obligation to be a productive member of society and not society taking from the productive members to reward the non productive members.
