    The Christmas trees are going back up in Seattle

    the complaining rabbi caved under the pressure of furious fundamentalist Christmas-ites.

    Funny thing is, the Christmas tree really isn't a religious symbol.

    I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

    Re: The Christmas trees are going back up in Seattle

    I saw the complaining rabbi interviewed, by O'Reilly, and the rabbi said he didn't want the Christmas trees taken down. He only wanted a minora put on display as well as the trees. He said it was BS for them to take the trees down, and his complaint was misrepresented in the MSM. Surprise surprise!
    Why do we hate Christians and Jews?
    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    Would it have been so hard to get himself a beautiful menorah and sit it somewhere nice, for everyone to feel the ahava of the holiday season, and save us all this drama?

    I think the airport folks' contention was if they did that, they'd be putting up some symbol for every religion out there and it would be less hassle for everyone if they just didn't put up anything.

    I'm not agreeing, I'm just saying that's what I read about it.

    And totem poles. Don't forget totem poles.

    The one at our office is... because the Jewish guys hang tiny menorahs on it (really).

    You tell me it's the institution. Well, you know, you'd better free your mind instead.

    It just goes to show you...

    The Christians and the Jews can get along...

    The rest need to figure out we aren't against them living on Earth...we just would like them to quit saying they are going to kill everyone.

    KISS....

    Keep it simple STUPID !

    I'm glad the Trees are back...

    I'm OK with the Menorah too...
