I say this as a Jew.
As for trees: No.
Christmas tress and Merry Christmas are part of Christian culture. Us non-Christians should respect it, not steal it (coughjapancough).
If you don't know someone's religion, it's best to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

Pukey2, you're being too sensitive about this. Do you see the stereotypical image for an English speaker in the ad?

Good step.
Next to stop advertising porn in the train cars. Don't tell me that these ads don't spark the gas filled minds of sexual offenders. I can't believe JR, with the amount of chikan incidents known to occur in their trains, I cannot believe that they hang advertisements with words such as sekkusu, shiri, oppai.. So irresponisble!

There needs to be seatbelt education in the kindergartens and elementary school. The problem with trying to get kids to wear seatbelts is that the kids don't buckle, no matter how many times you tell them to.
One time with a child in the back seat, I suddenly hit the breaks to give her a scare. Then I refused to go until she properly buckled up.
Where is the education?

Something is wrong with the taxi driver as well.
If there were no trains available, hotel for the night plus bullet train would be under 30,000 yen. Same cost for flying or even renting a car and driving yourself.
The driver should have realized that we would be screwed.

Not at all. Having children is a human right. I believe that homosexuality is nature's way of balancing itself.
If someone is born with a bad heart (no, I don't think that is nature's way of balancing at all), they should have the right for a transplant. We cannot be limited to the way we were created. If so, we would have to deny most medical care.
The underlining problem of this whole debate is the refusal of heterosexuals and possible bisexuals, to admit that homosexuality is natural.
Come to think of it, the percentage of bisexual people choosing a heterosexual lifestyle might be astronomically bigger than people imagine.

Huh? Are you saying it's cowardly to support gay marriage, but not be gay?
That makes absolutely no sense.
Unless you believe that being homosexual is a conscientious choice we make. However that is untrue. The world is not flat and we do not choose to be gay.
All the arguments against gay marriage are silly at best. At worst they are downright bigotted. If you do not consider yourself a bigot, I ask you to look inside your heart and ask yourself if your position is truly taking away rights of others and how can these rights effect you. What is right and what is wrong? Can you be wrong? Can you?

10% of people are gay. Accept it. It is nature. No one in their right mind would choose to be gay in this still prejudiced world. If you can make a choice, then you are a bi choosing to live a straight lifestyle.
Let me explain to you why I think homosexuality is Nature's plan.
The world is overpopulated by humans. 10% of people are gay. That means that 10% of us will not be procreating. This reduces population growth. This means that we will, as a species, use less natural resources. If anything, we should be celebrating that homosexuality exists.
You know, it's really sad that you equate homosexuality to incest. It shows how much you don't understand people born different than you were. I hope that these comments reach you. I hope that you accept people for how nature made them.

Then let me assure you that you have no worries. Marriage will be defined as a legal union between two people of consenting age.
To think that gay marriage = allowing incest just illustrates how much people do not understand gay marriage.

I'm really offended by this.
First, off, homosexuality is not a life style. It is not a choice. If you can choose, you are bisexual. I am heterosexual. I cannot choose to be gay. Being straight is my nature. For homosexuals, being gay is their nature.
What offends me is the idea that marriage is for people to procreate.
Marriage is about love. That's all.
I'm seeing someone who cannot have have a baby. Does that mean that she should be denied the right of marriage? I have married friends who do not want children. Should their marriage be annulled by the state?

Are some of you even aware of what you are saying?
You will say anything to make yourself believe that Obama is evil or something. It's difficult to even have a constructive conversation on today's issues when you have to wade through spin and rhetoric that really is just absurd.

Wow, Sarge. Thanks for the lesson on delusionalism. I have learned the error of my ways (moobeams discards brain)
Looks like Palin has become a Scapegoat.
Can the Republicans afford to break off with their "base" in order to pursue there true ideals of the old days?

Sarge, for many Americans, especially blacks, tackling racism is a major issue. Maybe you missed it, but Obama gave an amazing 30 minute speech about racism during the primaries. Did you ever think that black people are voting for Obama because he's the only candidate to actually try to fix this problem?

This has me fuming!
It also passed in my home state, FL (I voted against it).
I grew up being taught that marriage was a union between two people who love each other. So what is wrong with that? Why does it have to be between a man and a woman? Give me one good answer. There is none.
Gays are attracted to each other by the same force of nature that attracts straights.
Is marriage about having children? These days I've been seeing someone who cannot get pregnant. Should women who cannot have children be disallowed to marry?
What is wrong with people?
America, the world, is still full of bigots.
Shame on those who supported this.

Look, don't put make up on dogs.
When a dog sees a dead animal, it'll roll around on it.
When a dog sees a pile of poo, it'll roll around on it.
A dog with boink anything.
Don't make dogs cute.
