Don't buy Pepsi in the new can.
Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building, and the Pledge of Allegiance on them.
However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, "Under God."
Pepsi said they didn't want to offend anyone.
In that case, we don't want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either!

So if we don't buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended
when they don't receive our money that has the words
"In God We Trust" on it.
 
ahh yes here we go again, another company that will be badgered by the public if they put the pledge of allegiance on there product. Good old 21st century thinking as usual. If under god was on it they would be yelled at, they didn't put it on there so now they will be yelled at. it's a no win situation.
 
So, everybody should beleive in God? And, that he is our creator, and we all live under him? I think chrismas exists due to 1)business revenue 2)greed 3)guilty conscience

Everybody (90 percent of americans) hate Christmas.

It's celebrated until the current upper generation dies.

Tell me how a dickless bastard, got mary pregnant, without touching her. Oh, because he's the creator of all things right. Then who created "him". If he created man, what is "he". He sure isn't a man. "He created man!" And if God created everything and baby Jesus sometime just over 2000 years ago, Explain craters on the planets that scientists predict were formed by asteroids millions of years ago. Scientists predictions are wrong? Possibly. I could go on and on, pretty much I think if there's any truth to it, Jesus isn't any different then the people who committed suicide in Waco Texas to catch a ride behind the asteroid. Yet everybody calls them crazy. And, If Jesus did exist, his momma liked to sleep around, and smoke weed, along with a bunch of other people who decided to come up with a story.

I don't have a problem with peoples' religion.

But I'm a realist, and don't use religion as excuse or crutch to justify unfortunate events that present themselves in this world to make me feel better about reality and the surroundings of where I live.

Pepsi --> "The next generation" smart people. I don't like reading bs everywhere I go. Everybody should have their own opinions, and not be forced to accept anybody elses.

Did my post offend anyone? There's no profanity..... and, it's only my opinion. No worse than post number 1, if you're a realist.

Believing in GOD is a matter of Faith, I believe in GOD because I have faith. Whether you believe in GOD or not is your own choice to make.

90% of Americans hate Christmas. PROVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

That part of your post I did find offensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get blunt somedays.. should keep to myself. I don't mean to offend you Pepp. However if you're offended we're in the same boat with different beliefs, is all it amounts to. Maybe on different levels, what I said was out there compared to what I was responding to.

I say 90 percent because if you go christmas shopping, everywhere I've ever been, is full of disrespectful impatient people. Parking sucks, everybody complains about it, and gripes about how they're broke until tax season. If you have children, or you're a fresh couple with a traditional family, you still celebrate Christmas and choose to. If you don't fall into that category, from what I see, you celebrate so you don't feel as an outkast.

Some people actually enjoy the holiday season, and don't see it as a time for getting things for free. I can respect anyones beliefs, I can't respect people who don't believe in something and still try to celebrate the holiday.

Since I was little, the only people I've seen in church, are business people of the community falling asleep. Trying to look good? I've lived in 7 different communities so far, it's no different. It's a good thing for you if you're a christian and live in a TRUE christian community. I think religion helps keep some of the world straight, but I see it as less of a payoff to society via it fuels greed, causes depression, and makes the world spend money they don't have - when that isn't what the holiday is supposed to be about in the first place.

Do you notice, Christmas is recognized EVERY year before the thanks giving holiday? Why would that be? It's a corrupt holiday. And it's intentional purpose for existance is a bit far fetched for me to believe in the first place. I myself look forward to an era of no Christmas. Children don't even know what it's supposed to be about. And before they're old enough to even understand -they're already trained that it is a holiday for recieving presents, and for no other reason than there being snow on the ground.

Thanks Pepp, I didn't mean to offend you.

You say you believe in God as FAITH. I don't want you to think I don't, I have very strong faith. I have faith in what's right. I have faith in treating people fair, or better. I also have faith in any truth I believe, and I have faith that if I have an opinion, I am not wrong for speaking it. If more people stood and spoke up for what they believe, there would be alot less bs in the world in my opinion. It would be a much better place, instead of people being mislead, used, etc - the things that make people try to believe in good things that others that treat them bad can't control -Christmas.
 
It might be cool with Pepperman, but I'm not giving you a pass.... Geez, did you not get the Tickle Me Elmo doll that was on the top of you Christmas list???

The founding fathers did, they believed that all of those rights you take for granted were endowed upon us by the creator.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

Well your thinking would be wrong and completely without justification.

Everybody (90 percent of americans) hate Christmas.
Again, you couldn't be more incorrect. Infact, that statement is boldly incorrect it's almost laughable.

It's celebrated until the current upper generation dies.
Again, nonsense.

You are such an ignorant and disrespectful arsewipe.

Not only are you so boldly stupid that you feel the need to assault an embraced religion and philosophy, you base it on statements that are not just wrong, the friggin' retarded.

Christ was born 2000 years ago. Yes. There isn't much historical date in regards to this. NO ONE IN THE WORLD HAS EVER CLAIMED THAT HISTORY IS ONLY 2000 YEARS OLD. That is so outrageously stupid, you void of critical thought, that it's what saves your post from being offensive to simply making everyone feel embarrassed for you, and that extra chromosome you carry.


I don't have a problem with peoples' religion.

But I'm a realist, and don't use religion as excuse or crutch to justify unfortunate events that present themselves in this world to make me feel better about reality and the surroundings of where I live.
No your a moron. But, fortunately for your self-confidence, you're too stupid to realize your own limitation.

Pepsi --> "The next generation" smart people. I don't like reading bs everywhere I go. Everybody should have their own opinions, and not be forced to accept anybody elses.
Perhaps you're unaware of the foundations of our society, the philosophical thought that motivated Jefferson and the founders, the founding documents that formed this country, or the culture that has made this country the greatest on Earth.

The mere fact that this incorrect e-mail has circulated around the world so many times, and it is still being repeated today, only underscores how idiotic your rant is. CLEARLY- this IS an important issue to MOST people. Otherwise people STILL wouldn't be responding to it.

You're not a "realist," you're an uneducated and unaware idiot. Don't confuse the two.

I get blunt somedays..
Or you smoke them, every chance you get....

You were ranting from a position of gross ignorance. Unaware of the debate, unaware of the history, unaware of the reality. You made up "facts" and interjected irrational opinion under the guise it was thoughtful. And you did so in a grossly disrespectful and ignorant way. The fact no one called you to task either indicates, no one saw it, or they felt it made you look so stupid that a response was warranted.

I say 90 percent because if you go christmas shopping, everywhere I've ever been, is full of disrespectful impatient people. Parking sucks, everybody complains about it, and gripes about how they're broke until tax season.
So, what you're now saying is that people love Christmas so much that they endure the crowds and inconvenience.

If you have children, or you're a fresh couple with a traditional family, you still celebrate Christmas and choose to. If you don't fall into that category, from what I see, you celebrate so you don't feel as an outkast.
Celebrate Christmas to avoid feeling like an outcast? What ridiculous incestuous little circle do you socialize within?

Some people actually enjoy the holiday season,
According to your dumbas.s. claim, only 10%.....
and don't see it as a time for getting things for free. I can respect anyones beliefs, I can't respect people who don't believe in something and still try to celebrate the holiday.
No you can't. Calling the Virgin Mary a slutty refer addict isn't respectful.

Your world view is grossly skewed and you are horribly educated.

Do you notice, Christmas is recognized EVERY year before the thanks giving holiday? Why would that be? It's a corrupt holiday. And it's intentional purpose for existance is a bit far fetched for me to believe in the first place. I myself look forward to an era of no Christmas. Children don't even know what it's supposed to be about. And before they're old enough to even understand -they're already trained that it is a holiday for recieving presents, and for no other reason than there being snow on the ground.
There is a commercial element that has developed around the holiday. The profit motive encourages retailers to attempt to take advantage of this. But it has nothing to do with Christmas, or what it symbolizes and what it means.

And most children I know DO know what Christmas is about. They do know what it represents and the meaning behind it. A child operates on a different level than adult (though it would appear a higher intellectual level than you)

And more importantly, the adults do too.

Before you start another mindless, insulting, and competely idiotic rant about religion, try reading a few books first and support with other than your dumba.ss skewed anecdotal, observations.


Your comments were so dumb that every single person who read your submissions in this thread are a little stupider for reading it. That is the only thing you accomplished by submitting those two replies.

Do you feel better?. My opinions can't be proven wrong. The thing about pepsi, was a smartass remark, so you go ahead and tell me how I'm uneducated by making such a statement lol. You're arguing, and stating facts, from a book, written generations ago, and altered how many times? It wasn't even written in English. If you need the belief of Christ to help you justify the presence of everything you see throughout your day, then go ahead. Alot of my points were trivial, in order to explain myself fully it would take a year. So, go ahead and argue all this. There are far more non-christians in your everyday world than you would ever see as a believer, I'll educate you on that fact.

The most entertaining part about all that you said, is the fact that you're speaking for many, as if they all believe things from the same thin air as you.

My best example about Christ, look at all the religions. Other than the name or term "Jesus" and the name, or term "GOD", they have nothing in common. So you call me wrong and explain exactly what you believe, and expect the majority to agree with you, all the while you're sill in your own little corner.

I don't need to prove myself to you, if I sound dumb, it's ok.... because it means everybody else is closed minded. Get mad that I call myself a 'realist', You dreamer.

Do you know anything about business, business management, how the economy works, etc? The bible and religion is no different than a salesman. Even the ten commandments are so stretched out just to have an existence. If you look at the ten commandments carefully, there's really only three, without a bunch of exaggerated bullshi.t. This almighty God was that lame to make ten, when he only had to make three? Why would that be.. probably, to make it sound good.. to make people believe. TEN commandments. Sounds professional huh. Kind of like 'sales associate' instead of 'one of our liars that will say whatever sounds good to get you to hand over green'.

Ha, it's all crap. When you die, and you're all the way dead, the lights are out, destination nowhere. Just like as if you kill an ant, or fly, or tree. Do they have a Jesus who died for all of them too? Wait, that would be contradictive of "All things created by God", so they all must be in heaven too!! Fun place to be! Those things aren't pointed out in the bible are they?.

Religion is for weakness. 'it was gods plan' .. um, ok lady, lol. Whatever makes you feel better! I think the dude got smashed because he was walking in front of that car! Science always outweighs religion. Do you not believe Darwins theory of evolution? Maybe you should get educated, leave the state of denial, and rethink everything. We see evolution on a daily basis. but you believe that bible that tells you God created everything. Sheesh.

You think you're going to heaven with a bunch of people? I tell you what, read the ten commandments, and then look at war, and then look at everybody that says 'he's going to heaven' at their funerals. People are so dumb it's pathedic. Either you look at the facts all the time, or you don't look at them at all. If it's a fact that you shalt not kill, then why is war ok? I could go on and on, you'll still believe what you want, so it's pointless pretty much.. but, if you're a christian, and believe in heaven, etc .. it's MY belief, that you're weak, in denial, and.. a little bit crooked as an individual.

You go ahead and live your life with your beliefs, you're entitled. But you're calling me a dumb ass, and for what? For my opinion? Ok, that's your opinion, and that's ok. :)
 
You know what Calabrio, you're in this world alone. And, if you've always had people take care of you and baby sit you, then you might have trouble seeing that fact. Has anybody here ever got divorced? You tell me how much you were in fact WITH that person eh. Religion helps people feel like they're not alone. That's allllllllll it is. So, you go ahead and respond to this by SPEAKING FOR EVERYBODY again, so you don't feel alone.
 
I neglected to read everything in order, I only skimmed prior to posting.. I'd say it's safe to say we're looking at different pictures. In my picture I am closed minded on any arguements to how I see things, it's how I see things, and what I believe, is what I believe. Just like what you believe is what you believe.

I'll apologize, and I vote for this thread or at least since I came in to be deleted. I don't mean to offend anyone by stating what I think.

I referenced the Declaration of Independence. It was written by Thomas Jefferson, in English, in 1776. It was one of the documents that founded this great nation. It's never been altered.

Obviously, you're referring to the bible, which isn't something I based my argument on.

The most entertaining part about all that you said, is the fact that you're speaking for many, as if they all believe things from the same thin air as you.
I didn't launch into a theological arugment. I don't do that. You're implying that I did so, but that's incorrect.

So you call me wrong and explain exactly what you believe, and expect the majority to agree with you, all the while you're sill in your own little corner.
Again, I never imposed religion on you. I made no effort to convert you. I simply addressed the statements you made, in a historical and factual, NON-faith based, manner.

I don't need to prove myself to you, if I sound dumb, it's ok.... because it means everybody else is closed minded. Get mad that I call myself a 'realist', You dreamer.
You sounding dumb is the result of you making claims and then supporting them with statements that are completely factually incorrect. Whether people are closed minded or not has nothing to do with it. A realist would use facts, a dreamer makes them up or uses anecdotal evidence based on their very limited experience.. Using this criteria, you are a dreamer.

Do you know anything about business, business management, how the economy works, etc? ....
Yes I do. And that is in distinct contrast to you, who apparently "THINKS" he knows.

Ha, it's all crap. When you die, and you're all the way dead, the lights are out, destination nowhere.
You are entitled to believe anything you'd like. As stated, I have not argued theology. I do not do that. I am not a theological scholar. I am not comfortable doing so. I will not argue religion....

except maybe Islam... a little. I have a bone to pick with them.

Religion is for weakness.
You don't have to believe in any religion. That is fine. This claim is not correct. I find that the atheists tend to be the weakest. They don't want to do with the concept that they will every have to deal with a higher authority. That there are no absolutes in the universe.

I do not take offense when you say that you do not believe in religion. You are wrong to say that religion is purely for the weak.

Science always outweighs religion. Do you not believe Darwins theory of evolution? Maybe you should get educated...
I'd be willing to bet any amount you wanted that I'm better and more educated than you, specifically on the subjects I willing to debate or discuss.

Again, I have not debated theology in my response. My issue was with the "Under God" statement in the pledge. And virtually everyone will recognize that evolution is a natural biological process that takes place all the time.

The debate tends to be whether all life developed solely through the process of entirely random evolution. And to believe, which you're free to do, is also a matter of faith, because that HAS NOT been proven either.

There are a number of different theorys, from random evolution, intelligent design, and then "creationism" that address the origins of life. None have been proven.

You go ahead and live your life with your beliefs, you're entitled. But you're calling me a dumb ass, and for what? For my opinion? Ok, that's your opinion, and that's ok. :)
Any derogatory labels were the resolute, NOT of your atheism, but because of the baseless and unsupportable claims, and your disrespectful tone.

I have atheist friends, I have agnostic friends, I have hindu, jewish, christian, and even a couple Muslim friends. You're not a dumb ass for having a different faith than I do. (For the record, I have not stated my faith.)

You might be a dumbass for posting long, angry, and idiotic, posts that insult the majority of people who read it.

You know what Calabrio, you're in this world alone....
Seriously, you sound very troubled. Perhaps you should find religion. :cool:

I neglected to read everything in order, I only skimmed prior to posting.. I'd say it's safe to say we're looking at different pictures. In my picture I am closed minded on any arguements to how I see things, it's how I see things, and what I believe, is what I believe. Just like what you believe is what you believe.

I'll apologize, and I vote for this thread or at least since I came in to be deleted. I don't mean to offend anyone by stating what I think.

You're free to think what you will, but- that does open you up to a degree of scrutiny. If you make bold, and often incorrect,statements, you open them to public scrutiny.

It looks to me that your post was intended to be kind of cathartic. You seem to really have some kind of deeper resentment than those resulting from just left brained reason.
 
Personally I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and other people shouldn't force their opinions onto others. I'm not a religious person by any means. I don't really believe in everything the Bible says and religious debacles etc. Even though a lot of wars are caused due to religious reasons, a lot of good things come out of them too. Charity, motivation, a sense of belonging, and many other positive things all come out of religion. I don't think it's anyones place to tell someone to believe in something or not to believe in something. Granted some people do take religion to the extreme, but you can't label everyone like that. Like I said I'm more into the scientology aspect of things, but I'm open minded. There should be no debates over it. Everyone should just keep their words sweet, they may have to eat them later. Anything can happen and either side could be right.

I think you speak well.

And so you understand Calabrio I'm not Athiest, I'm agnostic. I don't believe in Satan either. And yeah I'm basing on religion, moreso the bible. I don't feel that I have a problematic life, I'm usually happy. I have had unfortunate situations and I feel like the world doesn't understand how things really are, and I blame religion in Christ. I feel that it's a big excuse, and that it's not productive in reality. Reality in, things happen for reasons, cause and effect, etc. The bible and religion in Christ is something I feel is harmful to what people need to face, they don't .. because they already have it figured out, because the bible tells them so. Because the bible tells them so - and I don't see how anybody can believe the bible other than an easy way out of reality. If you sense resentment, I may have some .. and not only for myself but for others that I feel would be better off not being pushed towards God for help. People try to help others people by pointing them to GOD. I feel I would be just as far ahead to be on drugs. I don't see the difference in effect. I have an open mind, and I'm usually caring. When I see someone troubled who turns to God, I feel that they are ignorant, and I feel saddened that they have a problem and are trying to -not fix it- but DEAL with it, through something nonexistant. I have kept an open mind for a long time and it still is to a small extent. I don't see religion or Christ helping anybody. Not in the real world, which is where I like to live, I think I'm further ahead that way. I don't have problems like I see that others have. I feel that I deal with my problems alot more efficient by not expecting a story book to fix things for me. It's worked so far, I can honestly say I don't deal with anything I can't handle myself. I'm not in denial. I feel that if you treat people like children that's what you will get. --> Treat people like they need 'God' and they will. --> Don't, and they won't.
 
Hmmm....

I have no real voice here except that educated and well thought out statements are much easier to take then rants...

And Ponies, you are ranting.

Insulting doesn't prove anything.

It'll be interesting to see what races thru your mind as you lay on your death bed, moments before you are about to meet your Maker. Should be good drama for you.:rolleyes:

I will say this GOD gives everyone a choice in how they live there life until there end and when that end comes they will have to answer to all that has taken place in that life of choices he has allowed us all to make. From our beliefs to our non-beliefs.
 
So anyways back to the Pepsi can that isn't being produced. If it was being produced in this special can I would still buy it. I like Pepsi. Anyways what would it matter if a group of 100 people didn't buy the can. It wouldn't hurt Pepsi Co because they have 80 million other people who will still buy it. So in the long run you only punish yourself. You have to be politically correct as a business/corporation owner nowdays because of lawsuits.
 
i like pepsi on my ice cream floats so as long as its still tasting good it will be part of my floats
