    Amusing....just when I thought we couldn't possibly become a more P.C. society, I'm proved wrong.

    Interesting. I don't really know of any pagan who is offended by the way halloween is celebrated, but there are probably a few out there.

    What about injustices to left handed people? Where are the big news articles about that. I mean, it is ingrained in our coustitution, the bill of rights. We should protest. :P

    Well, at least it's not the evangelical christians cancelling Halloween in schools again because its pagan nature offends their sensibilities. My older daughter tends to be easily offended and she gets bothered by people's portrayal of witches as evil, ugly old hags (among other things that offend her), but I've yet to meet a mature Wiccan who got offended by Halloween costumes and decorations.

    I was gonna say that... There are people out there that beleive they are vampires.
    What about Satan worshipers? Do they get upset when people dress up as the devil?
    :twisted:

    I have some cousins that their parents wont let them read or watch Harry Potter, because magic is "evil".
    lol, you could do just about anything these days and SOMEONE would be offended.

    I've heard of people barring their kids from Harry Potter because of that. I enjoyed the books and movies, myself, and loved talking about them with my kids. I think maybe people have always been offended by the things that cause a ruckus nowadays, but before they were just more likely to keep quiet about it and "go along to get along."
