In response to this poll, if someone wished you a Happy Kwanzaa, because they celebrate it and are trying to be nice to you, would you be offended? If so, then why?

If Merry Christmas is okay, then Happy Kwanzaa or Happy Deepavali or Happy Hanukkah should be just as acceptable.

Why would you be offended?

What pisses me off is when people deliberately try not to say these things. Anyone who says happy holidays should be shot into the centre of the sun.

if Chanukah is offensive, then others holidays will probably offend you also

I don't really know why anyone would be offended by any of these, including Happy Holidays. They're all just examples of people trying to extend greetings to each other and be friendly.

I wouldn't care if someone wished me a Happy Satanic Holiday. I may not believe in it, but if I did I'd like to have a happy one.

It's offensive if your a fucking retard. Otherwise someone wishing you happiness on a day of celebration is a very nice gesture....

No I would not be offended. I think it is a silly holiday that was fabricated in the 60's ... just out of a quest for a sense of identity ... real holidays have long standing pagan roots.

I find it more humorous than anything. I wish a criminal would create a holiday just for me as an alternative to Christmas.

You know who fucking says this shits politically correct. CHRISTIANS IN DC.

If you asked a Jew, and i mean a real jew like my dads dad. He actually doesn't care.

If you say "Merry Christmas, sir" he will say "Merry Christmas. " and start a conversation about the guys family or something

Jews arn't offended, unless its a crazy ol' rabbi or something.

Nope, not offensive. Celebrate what you want. Whatever floats your boat.
