Its all over the news nowadays. The most recent stories are about bosses banning christmas in the workplace for fear of getting sued by people of different religions. This is crazy, I can't think of any catholics or christians who are offended by muslim customs.

definately! it annoys me so much that everyone is too scared to ever say anything incase it offends someone. I havent got a problem with people of other religions living in this country but i dont see why we should change anything we do for them. They expect us to bend over backwards for them to be allowed to celebrate their religion so why cant christians celebrate christmas? this is a predominantly christian country!
Its like in the world cup when people werent allowed to have england falgs in case it offended non england supporters or something! Its like i dont know if you've noticed but we are actually in England! (sorry if im going on but i get really pissed of about all this! lol!) And i hate the way people are always too scared to say things that arent even meant in a racist way in case they sound racist. When sometimes (not always - i know most people are perfectly nice) people from other races feel that they can say whatever they want and it doesnt count as racist because the person theyre saying it to is white!
Ok sorry if ive bored you but i do get really pissed off about stuff like this and can go on about it for hours lol! And i think people shouldnt be so afraid of having controversial views and actually saying them - its pathetic the way people wont ever say what they really think just because theyre afraid it will offend somebody.

i agree totally Every body seems to be walking on eggshells worrying about what they say,did they offend anyone. I am from Australia and the topic here at the moment is to do with the Muslim religions and their faith. Why cant everybody just lighten up and not take things to serious

Well it never USED to bother us, in the days of the British Empire.
Our whole culture is dying the "death of a thousand apologies". And we only have ourselves to blame.
PS I'd like to apologise in advance to anyone I have offended by saying this.

"Donald Rumsfeld is apprehensive about gay marriage and the slippery slope in the route of polygamy" i do not see the issue? are any of the persons in contact Underage? are any of the persons in contact being compelled into the marriage? If not..who cares! enable them marry as many as they could discover the money for...doesn't damage absolutely everyone

We do are thing, they do theirs, no problem.
