Same goes for just about everything.
Sorry, I just find it really dumb when people get up in arms about "themed" parties, celebrations like cinco de mayo, St. Patricks Day, etc. etc. etc.
Sorry if it offends you, or anybody for that matter. Maybe I'm just an asshole. Maybe I'm just not very sensitive. Whatever.

Dumb? Naw. I find it dumb that some people feel they can take an observance that means something to a group and use it as an excuse to get drunk. I don't know that I'm "up in arms." I actually think I'm pretty reasonable. I believe that most people do their celebrating unthinkingly - without considering that the "trappings" they appropriate might have a sincere meaning. It would be like another fraternity using your ritual in a mocking way, and as an excuse to drink (do fraternities need an excuse? I digress. ) So I'm more disappointed than anything else. It is tough to see something that is meaningful to you degraded.
