Census Bureau Projects Population of 303.1 Million
As our nation prepares to ring in the new year, the U.S. Census Bureau today projected the Jan. 1, 2008, population will be 303,146,284 ā€“ up 2,842,103 or 0.9 percent from New Years Day 2007.

 In January, the United States is expected to register one birth every eight seconds and one death every 11 seconds.

Meanwhile, net international migration is expected to add one person every 30 seconds. The result is an increase in the total U.S. population of one person every 13 seconds.

Iā€™ve got nothin!

:bulb: Oh for Peteā€™s sakeā€¦Would somebody just say something insulting :exclamation: ā€¦ :unamused:

25

Did you know that 84% of all statistics are made up on the spot?

Oh, and Rob, that information is incorrect until you cite a source of the information. Iā€™ve got it that the Jan. 1, 2008 population will be 303,146,294.

26

Okay. It may be nearly a week late, but MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY! :stuck_out_tongue:

27

You should have just said Happy New Year!

Holton :smiley:

Best thing I could come up with.

28

Thatā€™s just not offensive to anyone.

Saying the words ā€œMerry Christmasā€ to someone is not just politically INcorrect - itā€™s downright offensive to some!

29

Sheeshā€¦ Now were getting somewhereā€¦ Excuse me while I take my family tree out to the curbā€¦

30

Nah, itā€™s all in presentation, saying Merry Jesus Christ day may offend some. :smiley: That would be the politically incorrect thing to say.

I think it would only be offensive to some very narrow minded people.

remember,

roses are reddish and violets are bluish.
if it wasnā€™t for Jesus weā€™d all be Jewishā€¦
is that offensive enough?

and to those PC peopleā€¦get some courage manā€¦the skin on your ass must be tissue paper thin. grow up and live in the real world. 8)

So youā€™re offended by some one elses beliefsā€¦so what? mind you own business.

So why do we celebrate that day on December 25th (and have Sunday as the Sabbath day)? Because the Emperor Constantine, who was a Sun worshiper, was looking for a way to unite the empire and choose the growing religion, Christianity, as his vehicle. Until that time, Saturday was considered the holy day. Likewise, the celebration of the birth day of Jesus was moved to coincide with the winter solstice (shortest day of the year, usually December 21st, when the sun is furthest south). It was later moved to December 25th to coincide with another pagan holiday. We also celebrate the day with other pagan symbols such as trees and reindeer and capitalist symbols such as spending money on gifts.

33

Sounds good to meā€¦just another reason to party!
I am for it. :laughing:

Plusā€¦someone has got to control these minions that canā€™t control themselves.

34

And here I thought it was called commercialization :smiley: :smiley:

May Pagan smite me with Garmin 1000ā€™s!

35

OK, I might have something hereā€¦
