You know, it's funny... - Hellfighter 17 - 12-20-2004
I didn't even know people did that. That would be good for a chuckle, I guess.

Since when do people say X-mas because they don't want to say Christ? Most of our languages are Greek and Latin so the people who were lazy enough to come up with the term "X-mas" probably already knew. It's just another way to say Christmas because people are too lazy.
Edit: Plus, people who don't want to say Christ probably don't celebrate Christmas because of the religion it's from, Christiananity (sp?). So most of them are the ones who celebrate Hanuka and Kwanza. I can't spell those.

Actually, some schools aren't even allowing kids to say Christmas. They have to call it "The Winter Holiday" or something like that. If it's spelled out, it has to be X-mas. It may not be on the news as far as I know, but that's because the news doesn't really care.
Because teachers aren't supposed to preach or alk of religion and some schools are so strict on that, they don't want to have any mess ups where the teachers talk about Christmas and stuff.
I think.
I just know a teacher at my school was fired because she wouldn't take down one of those religious fish. Christiananity fish I think. And did I spell that right?

EDIT: You do not need the last 'a' there Tap, and I beleive it is jesus fish. They are not supposed to teach, but they cannot condemn it either. Being atheist rocks.

It's funny how people who wanna take Christ out of Christmas chose X-mas. Why is it funny, you ask. Well, I learned today that the symbol x is, in Greek, a representation of Christ. What a smack in the face for them.
Wasn't X-Mas just an appreviation? o_0

That's what I basically said. But noooo, nobody listens to the young kid unless he says something about suicide. >_<

I think that would suck to have your birthday on Christmas, I liked Chrsitmas and my b-day to be apart so that if I got bored with my things, it wouldn't be that long.
It is abbreviation I believe, and shut up already Tap.
You know, it's funny... - The Not Cool Not Tapion - 12-20-2004
17, shhh.
Anywho, I think X-mas and B-days should be seperate because if it's on the same day..wouldn't it be just like having one of the days for presents? O_o

I'm not talking about people who say x-mas as an abbreviation. That is fine, although it is sort of disrespectful. I'm talking about the people like the government and various atheist families who use it in the wrong way.
I say X-Mas usually. I personally dont believe in all the bible stuff/God stuff, but that doesn't stop me from saying Christmas o_0

Tap, who cares, really?
Jeice, I was saying that before I was atheist, I do not really think it matters, they use it in their form of speaking. In some places yes is no, and no is yes. So if we went by the meaning of other languages and cultures all the time, nothing would make a shred of sense.
EDIT: Actually, I rarely even say x-0mas, or here people say it o.0

I care. Damn, if I had my b-day on x-mas I would want more presents instead of just one set.
You know, it's funny... - Hellfighter 17 - 12-20-2004
I think it would depend on the people giving out the presents. Plus there are a lot of children out there who do not even get presents, and you are worrying about only getting one set?
You know, it's funny... - The Not Cool Not Tapion - 12-20-2004
Yes. I'm selfish like that.
The ones getting presents admire us who get a lot of presents, so they will work hard to get money to be able to do it.

Yes, usually I get more then one present, unless someone is really cheap
