Seriously? I disagree entirely. It's equivalent to a world where everyone likes the same music, everyone has the same accent, everyone likes the same things... Culture and upbringing is just another thing that makes us different and unique. To blame it for the animosity and aggression in the world is short-sighted. Take away one defining aspect, and the people looking to cause trouble will just look for another defining difference to cause trouble about.
Solve the fact that people try to cause trouble and alienate due to differences, and we can properly revel in our differences.
@Jansz: It doesn't really matter whether it's ten years old or 100 years old, it's still millennia younger than the albeit religiously based festivals celebrated in winter, and it carries nowhere near the same meaning. I agree that it's wrong to "Rage" about it, but I still think that it is Overly PC.
