    Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year from ...

    Just got a message from my mobile phone provider with this Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year from...

    I can't remember ever getting a Happy Hannukah message. The Jewish population are small and don't put themselves out there so its obviously a marketing point.
    I have heard HH watching American TV etc

    Happy Kwanzaa why is that advertised in Australia as its irrelevant here - you have to google to work it out

    What about Merry Mohammed, Happy Buddha and Heil Hare Krishna and isn't it discrimination to leave them out
    The advertisers also forgot about the satanists - Have a very evil Christmas and a sinful New Year

    Here we have a fairly significant Jewish population. My chiropractor is Jewish. I wished him Happy Hanukkah and he said, it's no big deal, we celebrate it all.

    When I lived in Ontario (Canada), in an area with a high Jewish population, they also celebrated Christmas right along with Hanukkah and they were never offended if you wished them Merry Christmas and didn't retort with "Happy Hanukkah" back at you. But then again, we are living with the offended generation now.

    Agree Muriel
    The Jewish population have been here longer than most other groups and don't demand society to change to reflect their customs or culture.
    I wish later migrants acted more like the Jews in regard to respecting the existing values instead of trying to change society and promote their views.
    Some migrants come with a entitlement mentality - where did they learn that from

    Is it a migrant thing or is it a generation thing? I saw this the last few years when I worked: the college kids and interns coming in where full of entitlement. They didn't think twice about taking a long lunch without asking if it was appropriate. They often came in late because they didn't feel like getting up. It was just crazy. I had a woman sit across from me in the "cube farm" (a major automotive supplier in metro Detroit) who disappeared every day between 10 and 2 pm. She set up her desk to look like she had just stepped away. Her boss would come looking for her, but never took action on the issue.

    Remember, this is the generation that won a trophy for being there, not because they did anything.

    This is the generation that has been taught tolerance of everything, with no foundation for right or wrong or truth. They can't identify real truth, or a real foundation of thought or belief. It's based on emotions, and the devil's lie of "what you feel is right."

    Both
    The current younger generation has expectations but many new migrants also have expectations.

    BTW my whole family are migrants and they worked hard without getting anything from the govt.
    There are hard working new migrants who deserve to be respected and rewarded for their contribution but there are also entitled ones who take advantage.
    I shop at a Muslims Fruit and Vegetable place because I can see they work hard and provide good service.

    We have some of the best generous govt payments and services in the world for the unemployed and disadvantaged.
    If they are legitimate then most tax payers are happy to help but there are those who come to our nation and are lazy and try to scam the system
