Happy Holidays:Happy Solstice, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza, Hello, Howdy Ya'll!

Sorry for the delay...our Legal Department just approved the following Season Greeting:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday(tm), practiced within the most enjoyable 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 religious or secular traditions at all, and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the Gregorian calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "AMERICA" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, political party affiliation, choice of computer platform, or sexual orientation (or lack thereof), of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms: This greeting is provided under the terms of the GNU-GPL and may be clarified, modified, enhanced or withdrawn at any time. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent season greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher. Extended Greeting Coverage may be offered, where allowed by state and local law, for a small annual service fee. Your mileage may vary.

Sadly such is necessary these days. Merry Xmas and feel free to sue to me. Hope you like to camp since the fwc is the only thing i have worth anything.
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!!! :D

If I offended anyone I certainly offer my sincerest "GOOD, go home to your own pitiful little country and quit trying to screw up ours"!!!! :mad:
 
Merry Christmas to all!

Time to thank Marty and Stan for their willingness to answer our (sometimes strange) questions.
Time to thank Dirty Dog for the site.

Thanks guys. I appreciate your work.
 
Remember the Reason for the Season:

It's the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth's equatorial plane with respect to the ecliptic plane. :cautious:

Seriously - best wishes of the season to all, regardless of your religious preference. Freedom of religion is one of the things that makes America great!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!!!

Jeez Louise Silvertip,

Thanks for the Christmas wish. I wish you a Merry Christmas as well! If I missed the humor in your second sentence, I apologize. However if you are serious about that last comment, I hope "Dirty Dog" removes that trash. It sounds like you need a merrier Christmas than some of us. I hope you work through whatever issue you seem to have.

Again, Merry Christmas.........to all, no further comment.

Interesting sentiments. Whatever one's faith is (or isn't) I wish All the Wanderers the best.

After re reading my post it does seem pretty harsh. Sorry. I am not a bigot or a racist, just a very patriotic American who believes strongly in the Judicial System, Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Probably a bit of a radical when it comes to that.

I am not offended by other religions, what they believe and what they practice. What does anger me is those who say I can NOT say MERRY CHRISTMAS because it offends THEM!! Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech are guaranteed rights and trumps political correctness. :)
 
Silvertip,
Dude This is really the wrong forum. This a group of old and young, vets and non vets, conservatives liberals and you name it. All of us hold at least one opinion that will offend someone here. We work hard at not expressing it so as not to interfere with our love of camping and adventure. That exercise is sometime difficult(at least for me)but it pays big dividends in fellowship. Opinions are kinda like a$$holes everyone has one. Try Expedition Portal. Lots of political views there that bolster your own.

Just my dos pesos.

Peace On Earth Goodwill Towards Y'all!!

Thanks Mr. Pueblo, I don't think I could have said it better, I made this post in fun, it was not done to offend anyone, if that was my purpose I could have done a much better job. The reply doesn't bother me at all. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. My guess is that if you can't tell the difference between humor and something truly offencive, you don't really need to know. Now I want to wish everybody a happy, safe Holiday, and a healthy and prosperous new year, and believe it or not I mean that.
 
To everyone,
He's right if he wanted to offend he could have and has done it better and using far less space. Well maybe not he does tend to get wordy.

To Salty,
You Da Man. I really do hope things are turning the corner and you're feeling much better. We are all more knowledgeable and laugh more for your presence. Have a wonderful Holiday.
