Teller Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 MUNSON TOWNSHIP -- A Northeast Ohio community is taking the "Easter" out of the egg hunt. As the White House prepares for its annual Easter Egg Roll -- a tradition dating back to 1878 -- some in the community of Munson Township are asking if it's alright in Washington' date=' how could the word "Easter" offend someone in this small rural community? Still, township trustees are opting to call this year's Easter weekend event "The Spring Egg Hunt."[/quote'] OMGZ!!! I hope the dreaded "Spring Bunny" doesn't make an appearance!!! :ahhhhh: http://www.wkyc.com/news/article/183128/45/Geauga-County-Should-Easter-be-in-egg-hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Should take the egg hunt out of Easter. People will go buy their kids real bunnies for Easter and then take them to the shelter or the vet, to have them put down as soon as the next day. That's a great "Christian practice". Seriously, buy a ****ing stuffed animal *******s. This new Easter movie looks adorable,, but every kid who sees it is going to want a rabbit and a lot of parents, will go buy them for their kids. It's disgusting. You have to be a serious ******* to do that. Don't buy a living thing for your kids, just to throw it the **** away. **Edit- Please read all my comments before blasting away. This is not attack on all Christians, simply a plea to help living things and bring a little awareness to animal abuse, directly caused around Easter.** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Passover? What are you, some crazy Zionist? Yes. Damnit, how did you find out? Also, Easter grass will now be replaced by Vernal Equinox "grass." No more ADD/ADHD for kids, you're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I understand the pansy liberals will be removing chicks from the Easter equation too. Y'know, unless you're a chick yourself. Then you can have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Local officials in small Ohio town are overcautious and silly.News at eleven. Until it gets more support and we'll hear that the White House really shouldn't be celebrating one religions tradition and not others. That's how this game works and both sides play it. One plays the victim card early to score points. The other pretends they'd never do such a thing when really it's only a matter of how much support is behind it.

Good ole Christians, still celebrating holidays with animal sacrifices, only in todays World, you don't have to get any blood on your own hands.

I think the "victim card" gets noticed when it comes to religion, because generally it isn't conservatives throwing it on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on my end, the only "animal sacrifice" I make is boiling eggs to dye, but I always eat those eggs anyway. So they're not going to waste, I'm just garnishing them before they hit my plate.

Call your local shelter or animal hospital and ask them if it happens. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCcQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fweblogs.baltimoresun.com%2Ffeatures%2Fmutts%2Fblog%2F2010%2F03%2Favoid_giving_bunnies_and_chick.html&rct=j&q=rabbits%20die%20after%20easter%20maryland&ei=B7OTTcSiKIbg0gHThvDMBw&usg=AFQjCNHxLZPz9erW6Kgt15LpnzE_DbuP_w&cad=rja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And probably not by those who are truly religious vs the Christmas/easter crowd. I'm glad you have your convictions, and don't chastise you for them. Perhaps you should do the same for others instead of painting with broad generalizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yes, it should. That's like asking if Matzah and Passover can be linked... in fact, it's worse. Egg Hunts are part of the American Easter tradition. It's stupid to deny that. I will say as a Jew that the gifelte fish hunts really don't compare.

I didn't realize how common it was until I heard a bunch of my friends who are vet techs, vets and vols at shelters and rescues start ****ing about it, the day after Easter a year ago. The day after! Come on now. But sorry if it made it seem like I was saying "all or most Christians" do that. I wish the churches would make it a point to tell people not to do it, out of respect for life.

rictus58 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 You called it a "Christian practice". That's what I took offense to. I've never met anyone, ever, who has done this. Those who do are despicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
