Salvation Army Bell Ringer attacked for saying Happy Holidays.

Vindiola reported the assault to Walmart management, who notified Phoenix area police. Police say they reviewed security tapes, but were unable to gather enough evidence to press charges against the assailant. Vindiola is considering filing a civil suit over the incident.

In other words, it didn't happen the way the Godless heathen stated.

I'm perfectly calm, Dude.

Calmer than you are.

You're waving a fuck gun around, man!!

I chuckled...

This country was a lot better to live in before people started thinking everyone cared about them being offended.

Speaking of Christmas, I did get into an argument with the guy selling x-mas trees. I've been buying trees from this establishment since 1994. They all of sudden raised the price on the 10 ft'ers to $150.00 and up. I told him I usually get them for $80.00 and I get a deal because not many are sold at this height. He basically told me to take it or leave it, I even said, c-mon, its Christmas?! He said take it or leave it and walked away.
My buddy Ray was about to beat this guy down and said that we could then take the tree and leave $80.00 bucks while he's napping. I just said lets go, as we are pulling out they had a Santa out front ringing a bell and waving to the kids/people, my buddy Ray rolls down the window and yells,
"And Fuck you too, Santa"...

The look on that Santa's face was priceless...

I wouldn't expect that the line "C'mon, it's Christmas" would have much pull with anyone that makes their living on the season, nor good enough reason for a near 50% discount. He is a business owner Henry, not Santa Clause.

Try that when you go buy groceries, and see if you get better results...

When is Walmart going to start up a church?

Calm down. See Sgt. Beavis's response. Then read the reactions of the other people there that were interviewed that agreed with the assault.

Eh, the article said that people could understand how someone would be offended. They didn't quote anybody that agreed that taking a swing at her was justified. That was a big stretch, and that's where they lost credibility with me.

Also, "happy holidays" covers Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's IMO.

I guess I should have added that I tried to bargain with the guy, I offered $100.00 and then $125.00 and he wouldn't budge. And how the hell does buying groceries and buying x-mas tress that were cut down for free, minus some gas, time and delivery = buying groceries.
My problem was that they were never that high before and I was trying to get what I usually get for the same price as before and even offered a little more....

On a side note...

The article mentions that Christianity is on the decline. While I am totally fine with that, it made me think.

If there ever does come a time where Christianity basically becomes obsolete, I really hope we can still keep Christmas. I fucking dig Christmas.

Separation of church and Christmas? I'm down for that!
