Question: War on New Year's
I was greeted with "have a Blessed New Year" by someone today. Okay.

But if I wish someone a "Happy" New Year am I declaring war on New Years?

1. wish 'em a shitty and forlorn new year....
I always find that avoids any implied religious message.

2. I was thinking about this yesterday.
It's the damn Chinese and the Jews who are declaring War on New Years. Why can't those secular bastards celebrate New Years at the same time as everyone else? It's just another way for the minority to strong arm those poor innocent Christians. :sarcasm:

5. New York has succeeded this year..
The security is clamped down so hard on Times Square this year that only a masochist of the first order will be down there...

Once you're in place on a specific block, you aren't allowed to go to another block,... or to leave until after the ball drops.

4. Okay, now. That was a witch
they are the ones that do that "blessed be" thing. They just forgot the "be."

You might want to report this.

7. It's funny, Craig Crawford just mentioned this on Countdown last night
about whether there was a war on New Year's...:rofl:

Just you watch. Bill O'Reilly won't let any Chinese or Jews get upset if they are wished a "Happy New Year" over the next day or so! He will make SURE that all store clerks are forced to say "Happy New Year" at customers...whether they LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!
