Burns Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 what's everyone's thoughts on this? the joys of what you can get away with on the internet
Pye Man Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Does my head in!! Everything has to be PC. Its like walking on egg shells
Admin Mk2Jo Posted July 24, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 24, 2007 They already do within our government don't they
surfingturnip Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 political correctness is ok in some circumstances, not many though. E.G you cant call a manhole a manhole anymore, its an inspection hatch or something cause someone thinks manhole is sexist.............. wtf?
Burns Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Posted July 24, 2007 my other half's sisters boyfriend is training to be one of those fake police officers cos he couldn't get into the real force, he was trying to explain to me why blackmail is politically incorrect and racist i could see his point, but it's going way too far
Copey Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 does no1 else think its against our freedom of speech?? we should be able to say whatever we want, basic human rights imo!
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Once again, it's another way we have to change our way of speech and the words we use (and have used for years and years) just to keep certain people happy. It get's on my wick to be honest! We mustn't say this, we shouldn't do that, we can't show our flag off blah blah - just incase someone reads into it too much and comes up with the old racist card or that is discriminating against so and so bollix. Blackmail is called Blackmail for a reason... not because it might offend people from other backgrounds. I am not racist, but I am a firm believer of our freedom of speech, and the freedom to do what we want. Now here's an example: We love our old motors... yes???? What do our cars have that you very rarley see now???? GREASE NIPPLES So, what have the PC brigade decided to call our beloved GREESE NIPPLES???? ZERK FITTINGS... yes Zerk Fittings.... I ask you
Pye Man Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 WTF!!! Where the hell did they pull that one from? Zerk!! This place is getting worse
Cookie Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I dofook 'em Hows that?? My sentemants exactly
MinesGT Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 It almost feels like the minority ruling the majority!!!! Hardly a democracy or e free world is it? There has been an uproar locally where a restaurant owner is taking flak for calling his new businees the "Fat Buddha". The thing is , he is a buddhist himself!!! and takes no offence!!!! it is seen as happiness!!! It will not be long before we will be banning fat jokes, thin ones, tall ones, ginger ones, irish, blonde etc etc..... Then there will be no humour left in the world, it will be emotion free, we will have all been turned into robots, which means no shagging, no reproduction, which will lead to the end of the human race!!! Sorry lads (and lasses, sorry!), the Stella is just starting to kick in....
Copey Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 its a load of bullshit really, i got thrown out of a lesson in college coz i said to my bla...african american friend, Leroy, "hey, its big bad Leroy borwn, baddest nigger in the whole damn town" the tutor just goes, "I WILL NOT HAVE THAT SORT OF RACIST FILTH IN MY CLASSROOM, GET OUT!!" was not impressed, Leroy found it very amusing tho!
Pipster007 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 That is practically true..................... ..............................My Dad was blind, so if I went out with him for a walk, and some peeps called me a retard. I wouldn't be able to find a problem with that poster whatsoever However, Dad would see the funny side of it (or not, as he wouldn't actually be able to see it) as I'm sure he would think I'm a touch mental anyway. If the PC brigade wanted to harp on about something, I'll give an example. Why could a registered blind person only get a £2 discount on a TV license. Dad couldn't even see a TV, let alone watch one
twincarb Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 I am like most of the real world, don't care and refuse to change who and what i am to pander to the petty whims of some pc FASHIST PIG FOOKER, oops must have slipped there. NUFF SAID
Pipster007 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 there will be no humour left in the world, it will be emotion free, Does that mean we will have become German
Burns Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Posted July 25, 2007 A tiny bit but mostly that's exactly what went through my head at that picture
Jimsiss Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 I hate politcal correctness, I never pay attention to it, if I want to call something by its proper name for example white board or black board I will because that is what it is. and why can't we call someone black (even though technically they are more of a brown colour, not being racist) if we call ourselves white? plus minorities can call us what ever they want and get away with it.
Gareth Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 Basically the way I see it is if you're White English and living in England, Then you're fook all to the government. All they wanna do is keep the moaners happy. And what makes me sick is, noone does a fookin thing about it. Everyone say "Oh yeah I'll do this and I'll do that.." But when it comes to the crunch, it's easier to shut up and look the other way...... What ever happened to fightin for what you want and/or believe
