Kids and men on planes.

Absolutely right.
When I was a kid religion had nothing to do with Christmas but now there's religious nutters all over the place trying to take it over.
Go out and get yer own f*ckin festival!!!

"Santa is the reason for the season"

Piss off Religion has been intertwighned in Christmas since the start. Just enjoy it as part of the season, cause it all makes up the tradition that we love...or hate during the christmas buying frenzy.
The same PC shits that complain if a guy looks at a child are the ones that jump up and down when someone has a religious belief. Live and let live...sheesh. I quiet like the history of Jesus, Joseph and Mary and the three wise men etc. Makes it all feel..more like a festival than a reason just to give prezzies.

I'm all for "live and let live" but it needs to be reciprocal. I don't lurk on street corners jamming pamphlets about paganism into people hands or bash on doors at ungodly hours of the morning trying to sell religious magazines and I don't appreciate it when others do it to me.

If people are running around passing laws to stop all these terrifying and religiously insensitive Santas from terrorising and offending the folks on the street at Christmas time and to stop Amnesty International, Greenpeace and Red Cross from "annoying" people, why are they not also passing laws forbidding the street-corner ranters and pamphlet pushers that infest most towns all year 'round? The Christians are the greater number but the Krishna Consciousness crowd also do this.

They are entitled to their beliefs, sure, but I'm sure the general public doesn't need to hear it - if they want to hear any god's message, I'm sure most people are quite capable of locating the relevant church, gathering place, synagogue, organisation or whatever and going there themselves - just as we are capable of locating whatever products we wish to buy and have no need of some slimebag sending SPAM emails.

The street corner ranters are nothing more than spammers - except I've never once seen a spam email that outright insults the recipient while I have seen street corner ranters point at passers-by and loudly call them harlots or whores because they were not dressed as modestly as the frothy-mouthed Puritan thought they should be.

Ressurrecting the thread out of curiosity:

Has anyone had any response to emails/letters they've sent to Cindy Kiro, Qantas or Air New Zealand?

Aside from the one email (possibly automated) from Qantas promising to pass my email on and get an answer for me, I have not received one word from Cindy Kiro (or any of her flunkeys) Qantas (despite their promise) or Air NZ.

What a pack of slack bastards. Not so much as a "we have received your email, thank you for your concern but fuck off, we set our own policies." I'm presuming "Yeah, you're right, we're a pack of bigotted fucking retards" is too much to hope for.

I think I shall take it as proof that they have no justification for their actions, and they know it, so they're shutting up and hoping the shit-storm dies down.

Anyone had better luck than me getting a response out of them?
