Is our society too sensitive? Santa can't say "Ho-Ho-Ho" anymore?

The society we live in is very sensitive. Santa is not trying to be offensive; he has been saying Ho-Ho-Ho since the idea of Santa was created a long time ago. Just a few people have created the thought that saying a jolly Ho-Ho-Ho is offensive.

Should lit taught in high school be censored?

Literature in high school should not be censored. The students will not read words that they have never heard before. If a student says that he/she is offended, he/she is just trying to make trouble.

Christmas tree-toppin: star, angel, or other?

I prefer using a star. My mom is very religious so instead of a star every year, we use an angel. I don't mind if the angels aren't ugly and large.

Pity the WVU fans, or revel in their misery?

I say neither pity them nor revel in their misery. The fans were correct in that WVU should have won the game. The WVU players completely ruined a beautiful season and embarrassed this state. They had multiple opportunities to come back and didn't take advantage.

Do you prefer a white Christmas...or would you rather experience warm winter weather?

I prefer a white Christmas. The main reason is the opportunity to miss school for a couple days. Another benefit of snow is recreational pleasure. A group can go sled riding or have snow ball fights.
