Happy "Politically Correct" Holidays

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice (with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others or their choice not to practice such traditions at all).

Furthermore, I offer my (non-binding) best wishes for the onset of the generally accepted calendar year of 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make Canada great. (Which is not to imply thatCanada is any greater than any other country). These wishes are offered without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, choice of computer platform or sexual preference of the wishee, even if you're a Liberal.

Happy (if happiness is in your belief system) Holidays (if you recognize them)!

p.s. Thank you to Perry for supplying the content of this post.

p.p.s. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

'Tis the Season...Ignorant people, chap. 7

'Tis the season. The clear signs that the Christmas season is upon us have appeared. It's not the snow on the ground, cause there isn't any here in Ottawa, and it isn't the decorations or the Christmas music in the shopping malls. It's not the bright decorations you see on houses as you drive down the streets. The surest sign that Christmas is almost here is that the number of ignorant cocksuckers as multiplied a thousand times over.

Any sane person will try to avoid going into malls in December, but since it is Christmas, and it's become so commercialized, you are expected to buy presents for your family and friends. So be it. And it's understandable that there are huge crowds. But what really makes this time of year a real pain in the ass is the number of ignorant fucks out there. What as happened to common sense and common courtesy.

Last week, I gathered my courage and headed out to the mall to do some shopping. When I got to the doors, a woman was about to come out so i decided to open the door ahead of her to help her. She never said a damn word of thanks. Do I look like a fucking doorman, you stupid bitch! I did that because I'm polite, the least you can say is thanks. It won't kill you, you dumb cow!

So that should have been a sign to me of how this trip was going to be. It just got worse from there. My biggest problem are the people who don't use the pea sized brain they have in their fucking heads. My girlfriend and I went into Baby Gap (before anyone freaks out, she was being some clothes for her 14 month old niece). The place was packed. And in comes this fat sow of a woman with a shopping cart. Now, to all intelligent people out there, if you were going into a crowded store in December, would you bring a shopping cart with you? The answer is no. Worst case scenario, you go to your car and put the bags you have already in the trunk and then go back to continue shopping. But most people today think that they are the only ones on the planet, and that they own everything. People should bow to them and live their lives to please these motherfuckers.

When I think of these shitheads and see that they are raising kids, I weep for the future. Of course, sometimes you will find the exception to the rule. While in Zellers last week, a teenager (about 15) walked ehind me in the aisle and actually said "Excuse me" as he passed. I was speechless. I didn't know there still excited some young people who had manners. I thought I'd end this post on that happy note.

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
