Let's keep the true spirit of Christmas alive!

Image
First I have to start off a bit negative and say that I really hate everything PC ! there is no common sense to it and it only suits a small core of small minded hypocrites! What gets me really angry is the push to ban Christmas from western countries! The tradition of celebrating Christmas goes back centuries. It does not advocate anything negative at all, in fact it is the opposite! Christmas is all about spreading joy, good will, love, kindness, festivity, friendship, togetherness etc etc etc. What is threatening about that? The answer is - absolutely nothing! People who cater to disposing of Christmas so as to not "offend" others are ignorant for several reasons. Firstly , it is part of our heritage and culture. We do not go to a predominantly Muslim or Jewish country and tell them to stop practising their beliefs so why is it acceptable to do it to us? Secondly , most people of other faiths do not actually mind Christmas! I went to school with people from all religi...

The spirit of Christmas

Image
I love Christmas. I think it is the one time of year when people are encouraged to act nicer to each other. It is a time of fun and festivities and looking at lots of pretty decorations and lights. I think it's a shame that the politically correct people of the world are trying to ruin the holiday for everyone in the name of tolerance! These same people would bend over backwards to respect another culture's festivities, but they put down this one! What are they putting down exactly? A holiday that encourages peace love and compassion for others. It's not devil worshipping, drug encouraging or any number of nasty things, it's a holiday about peace love and kindness. Why can't they just allow people to celebrate and enjoy it? As Linus from Charlie Brown once said: "And suddenly there was with the angel, a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth, peace, good will toward men'. That's what ...

Agh, it's happened!!!

Well Edmonton - are you happy? now you're being critisized by CALGARY!!!! I never thought I'd see the day that Calgary would come out on a higher horse than Edmonton! and be right! sigh! This was on 630 Ched: Calgary Mayor Shames Whyte. Behaviour May, 30 2006 - 6:20 AM CALGARY/630 CHED - Calgary Mayor Dave Bronconnier says Edmonton should be embarrassed by the boorish behaviour of its citizens following the Edmonton Oiler's ascension to the Stanley Cup final. On Saturday, thousands of people partied around the trendy Whyte Avenue area of the city, smashing store windows, knocking over phone booths and lighting bonfires on the streets. Dave Bronconnier calls the behaviour disgraceful, saying it doesn't send a good message of what Edmonton is all abut. Edmonton civic leaders yesterday debated ways to help control unruly hockey fans

Edmonton - what are you doing?

Well I'm hearing all this news lately about a bunch of idiots in Edmonton that are acting like nitwit hooligans in the streets causing lots of damage after big hockey games! please don't do that! Don't you know that everytime you carry on like that, you give ammunition to rival cities! (one notably to the South) You obviously can't handle the amount of alcohol you drink, so maybe lay off!!! (or grow a brain!) Can I say for the record that most Edmontonians are really great people ! intelligent, nice, funny etc! those fools doing all that damage lately are probably in-breds that have come to Edmonton from other parts of Canada!! ! Okay that was a bit mean! but it's hard for me to believe that the city I love so much has such a large number of losers! but it's really only about 0.00001% of the population that are like that! but they always say the squeeky wheel gets the grease, so that's the case here too! they are causing Edmonton to get some unwanted notori...

Blame Game!

There was a very tragic and sad event that's been on the news lately - about 3 little boys ranging from 8-10 who got hit and killed by a train in Brisbane the other evening. That it happened is very heartbreaking! And that there are questions asked is very understandable! but I read in the Age website "Ms Gater said many people were questioning why police, who had cautioned the trio not to stand too close to the edge of the platform, had not asked the children why they were out alone at night and taken them home."I know the police are not baby-sitters ... but each and every one of us has a duty of care in our community," she said."My question is who is looking after the children?" . She asked a very good question but there was no comment what-so-ever about the parents, and so I was thinking - why was it up to the police to be "looking after the children"! I think it's a damned if you do, and damned if you don't situation for the police - i...

Calgary vs Edmonton

I've never taken the rivalry between Edmonton and Calgary too seriously! they both have their positives and negatives! Of course I'm biased towards Edmonton because that's where I'm from. I've even had friendly banter with Calgarians during my various travels. I used to always think the rivalry between the cities was light-hearted. But I will NEVER forget the time I was in Calgary and watching this Calgary charity event on tv. Someone from Edmonton phoned in and made a generous donation, and as soon as they got off the phone - the Calgarians running this charity show completely ridiculed Edmonton and laughed about the person that made the donation. I was shocked! my Aussie husband was with me, and he was completely disgusted!!! that's when we knew that most of Calgary has a very mean-spirited view about it's friendly neighbours to the North!! I get mad even to this day when I think about that incident! that's the height of ungraciousness and it's ...
