People getting upset that cashiers are asked to not say "Merry Christmas" to their customers.
I saw that stupid Starbucks thing, where people were asking others to tell the barrista that their name was "Merry Christmas," so they would be forced to say it, and it kinda pissed me off. America was never a "Christian nation," like the supporters keep parroting; we have a whole rule in our Constitution that specifically says that Church and state are to be kept separate. I cannot fathom why someone would be so upset about hearing "Happy Holidays," that they would try to start a movement over it. Are they so fragile, that not hearing something in favor of their own beliefs upsets them that much?
There's no group of Jews starting #OperationHappyHanukkah, or West Africans trying to get people to say "Happy Kwanzaa" - it's only a Christian thing. It's not really a thing against Christianity - there's just a problem with people getting too smug being the majority religion. Just because a bunch of people agree with you on some level doesn't mean you get to start a shitstorm when you take something way too seriously.
