Is it normal starbucks and target refuse to acknowledge christmas?

I believe Target has its employees say happy holidays instead of merry Christmas, and Starbucks has red cups instead of Christmas cups. Isn't this too extreme and against mainstream culture?

    There's nothing more annoying than all this politically correct retardation that is plaguing the nation nowadays. Hey, lets destroy our culture and let the corporations rule everything! That way nobody has to get offended..ever again..

    Everybody who gets offended from a well intentioned statement deserves to fuck off.

    I am a Jew and even i have grown to enjoy some of the christmas stuff. Christmas stuff is festive and has lots of neat scents, flavors, colors, etc. I thinn its stupid to try to make generic "Holiday" stuff to appeal to not offend people. Just let everyone have all their own stuff like they wants. Christians should have christmas stuff, Jews should have Chanukah stuff, and blacks should have nothing because theyre too broke and unimportant to matter anyways

      As a member of the most hated group of people in history, how can you say things like that about blacks?
      You truly are a piece of shit.

        I just speak the truth. You should follow my lead, as Jews are the Chosen people after all, Gawd has allowed us to persevere throughout history despite every attempt to destroy us so we must be doing something right

            You are an enormous moron.

            I dont have to tell that to anyone asshole, i am living proof that what i said is true. My grandparents families were murdered in the Holocaust. And yet here i am, because Jews persevere as always, we continue onwards no matter what anyone does to our people, because we are the chosen people. That is why you should listen to what i have to say, moron sailor with a tiny dick

            And by the way a lot more than 6 million were murdered.

              Take heart, my friend. TheGypsySailor is living proof that assholes live on sailboats. Btw, Happy Chanukah.

              You still can't carry on a discussion with any intelligence without slurs, defamation and name calling, apparently.
              Do you think calling me names lends credence to you posts? Pretty pitiful, dude, pretty sad and pitiful.

              jews have much lower birthrates that most other groups, especially in the Arab world. I doubt the "chosen people" will be living artifacts for long if this continues. Also, whats your point Steve? we get it, some jewish people are left, but how in anyway does that make jews better than black people, which, by the way there are nearly 600 million of, if anything god cut them a little more slack.

    The Starbucks controversy is manufactured as the cups never said Christmas. They had things in the past like snow men and falling snow and things like that.

    But when a company says happy holidays rather than merry Christmas, they aren't refusing to acknowledge Christmas, they are simply acknowledging that other holidays are celebrated at this time of year. Using a term that covers them all just makes good sense. Staying merry Christmas to everyone that walks through the door doesn't make any more sense than saying Happy Chanukah to everyone that walks through the door.

    fyi starbucks Never put merry Christmas on the cups.I do think next year they should do something cool with the mermaid but people would probably flip out about that too. pretty sure the ceo is jewish like me.I could care less if you say merry Christmas or happy holidays. I like getting mail that isn't bills. Personally if you want a Christmassy cup go to dunkin' donuts the hot chocolate and coffee taste a lot better and is cheaper too!!

    I've worked at both and neither ever told is not to say Merry Christmas. Most people in retail are careful not to offend people cause we don't need the dudes stress.

    It is not their job to support Christmas. It is a religious holiday, as is Hanukkah, and I'm sure there are other holidays out there that I don't know of, so they should not be forced to choose just one holiday or religion to support.

    Starbucks coffee is shit, I can't understand why people go there.

    I don't see anything wrong with either of their actions personally. Red cups/saying "Happy Holidays" is really nothing to be upset about. Now they're complaining of Reeses Trees not being shaped like trees. Grow up, people. There's bigger and more important stuff to worry over.
