Okay, so 9/11 has gone to bed and 9/12 is waiting in the wings... what's the next "date to hate"?

[cherokeeprogressive]

In other words, what's the next date that will have DU'ers hatin' on each other for either remembering, celebrating, or memorializing?

The first game of the World Series?

Halloween?

Veterans Day?

Thanksgiving?

There are too many for me to keep up with. I think DU needs a list of Dates to Hate, and a forum where they can be discussed/argued about.

[richmwill]

1. Duh- Christmas.

The most hated day of the DU year. The day to flood the board with "Pfft- Stupid Christians" posts. :grr:

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. I think you missed the "next" part of my post.

Veterans Day and Thanksgiving are going to be hatefests that will come before that. There are others, I'm sure.

[Hardrada]

2. Not Halloween, thank God. It's my favorite secular holiday

because it has not been militarized like all the others.. Neither has one religious holiday and that is Easter probably because it would be in poor taste to put yellow ribbons and flags on the Crucifix.

[Ignis]

19. Samhain isn't a secular holiday.

:hide:

[Hardrada]

21. We don't have that in Iowa, I don't believe.

[Ignis]

24. It's the celtic festival of the dead that has become Hallowe'en.

25. Maybe someone celebrates that around here.

I'll have to check.

[Journeyman]

3. This Saturday. . .

149th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam.

It'll be a conflicted hate, however - some will criticize the remembrance of the bloodiest single day in American history, others will appeal that without it Mr Lincoln could not have issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

Have at it . . .

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. ...

:eyes:

I think it is time for some of DU to go to bed. :hi:

[hlthe2b]

7. I think you are right... Maybe someone will slip Prozac in the morning coffee

for a few DUers... Damn... am I glad this "momentous" date is over... Geebus

[JVS]

5. You know what day I really hate?

I hate side with the right wing and then shit all over everyone on DU who doesn't decide to join you in siding with the right wing day. It's my least favorite day of all.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Well we were in a strange good strange moid

We were directly affected and mostly we have skipped this. Talk about Town was a blackout.

[Historic NY]

8. They really going to hate 9/21 then.

[Lint Head]

9. I hate every day Bush and Cheney are free.

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. Ditto on war criminals walking free. n/t

[cherokeeprogressive]

12. As much as I'd like to see them made responsible for their actions, it doesn't make me

hate every day.

I understand your sentiment, but I'd bet you don't HATE every day just because they walk free.

[Lint Head]

13. I did state this to the extreme because every day for America is colored with the

fact that obvious murderers go free and nothing is being done. That does not bode well for this day or any other day murderers are in our faces in print, in statements from the pulpit, public events, the movies or television. I don't hate 'days'. Just the situation nattily dressed cowards in power have place or precious nation in.

Thanks. I do appreciate your concern with my statement.

[Zax2me]

14. I found it. The post today that made sense.

K&R

[LeftyMom]

15. Columbus Day. Definitely Columbus Day.

Can we all at least agree that genocidal assholes aren't a good justification for three day weekends and mattress sales?

[eShirl]

17. Yup; then Thanksgiving.

[Behind the Aegis]

16. I avoided TV (except for a Star Trek program) and DU, both for reasons of 9/11.

Columbus Day would be where my money would go, though Rosh Hashana is before.

[dbt]

18. John R. Cash died on 9.12.2003

and certain evil bastards are still walking around free on the face of the Earth. Plenty of reasons to hate this date!

[ZombieHorde]

20. According to the pattern in your subject line, 9/13 should be our next target. nt

[Whats_Happening]

22. Maybe this season's finale of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians?" --- or

the next upcoming release date of yet ANOTHER major-motion-picture about some obscure little caped super-hero that most of us normal people have never heard of?

And yes, I shall be more than willing to run down anyone who shows any even moderate excitement about either of those dates.

Once to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide!

[lynne]

23. Don't forget Veterans Day!

I've no doubt that one will bring forth a hate thread or two.
