Well, kinda what we would have done with it. So Thailand's economy grows anyways and we don't get hepatitis (well, you won't make yours worse) it's a win-win situation.

This is pathetisad.

I like what you did there.

that is absurdly ridiculous

good thing she didn't go with the santa; they might've thought it was Satan *gasp*

this is rediculous, where do these Home-Owner's Associations get off, anyway? if anything is satanic, it's how stupid that HOA group is

yeah, next thing they'll want her to take down her sacrificial altar

which was actually a nativity scene which, according to the HOA, was cleverly disguised as a Satanic Altar

so she replaced baby jesus with a freshly decapitated chicken...big frikin deal

he'll just run off

i'll repeat that

he'll just run off

at least that's one problem solved

The HOA has appologized, said it was all a misunderstanding, and allowed the woman to have a wreath. Tempest in a teapot.

yes, im sure they would have apologised if there was no media exposure of their actions. 🙄

Perhaps; problems get cleared up all the time without the help of media exposure.

Why not, since you have absolutely no reason to suppose they wouldn't have? Or maybe you have the magical ability to know exactly what someone you know from five paragraphs of news text will do in any given situation? Of course; that must be it.

considering the entire staff was fired for disagreeing, the matter did not occur overnight. so the "irrational act of passion" argument flies out the window. this person gained the scrutiny of much of the american public due to media exposure and then went on to take it back.

i guess you can be deliberately dense about it...whatever i dont care. some people just feel the undying urge to defend scum at any cost and resort to any level of willful ignorance.

I edited my post while you were writing that. I don't plant to keep talking to you, because there's absolutely no point in trying to hold a productive conversation with someone who's first move is to call the other person "deliberately dense" and launch into a bizaar personal attack, but just, you know, if you were wondering why I changed my post after you replied. I didn't.

personal attack? what? where?

you want a shoulder to cry on?

I ask this : How f*cking blind do you have to be , to think this ....

looks the same as this....

Eh, whatever. Religious people can be crazy; this isn't breaking news.

chirstmas was invented by coca cola anyway.. so if you really want a war against it then drink pepsi..

My Christmas wish is this: I hope everyone who gets offended by a peace sign on a wreath dies a painful slow death and gets buried face down, naked, with obscenities spraypainted on their bodies.

Astonishing.

I have a hard time seeing a wreath being confused with a Pentagram.

Technically the pentagram doesn't have any origins in satanism.
People have just perverted it to be seen as a symbol of it, like by turning it upside down so only two points, not three, face upwards.
Even in pagan practices it was used as a symbol of health, the elements, perfection, etc.
And during the medieval period it was used heavily in Christianity to represent Christ and such.
