Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Ooooh - don't get me started on this topic!

I was reading in the papers last night that now Halloween is out of the way all the 'silly rulings' by Councils will begin to surface and they were spot on! - Lambeth have started by re-naming what CHRISTMAS lights can be called.....

At the risk of being bombarded with insults I am afraid to say that I am rather 'old fashioned' in my views and feel that if we have to abide by laws and cultures in other countries then ours should be abided by here. We seem to spend too much time worrying about 'offending' other religions - who have essentially - moved (of their own choice!) - to Great Britain!

Imagine the scenario if you were to move to, say, a Muslim (or other) country and say that you found mosques or their festivals offensive and wished them to be re-named (oh, and build a Christian church while you are there also). Do you think this would be allowed. Ummm - somehow, I don't think so!! As is muttered all the time - we are simply turning too soft here and I suspect losing all our historical roots and traditions. Quote - we are losing the 'Great' from Great Britain....

There - I've said it now. Sorry if this comes over offensive - it is not intended - I purely like a 'good debate'

I for one am looking forward to CHRISTMAS!

Incidentally on that note - I did actually offend one of my employers last year by typing Xmas (instead of the word in full). They are strongly religious and felt that 'Xmas' was insulting - so you can upset folk in many ways unintended it seems!

Cheers!
