General Chat

Who are they? Where did they come from? How have we allowed them to get such a foothold in our society? How do we get RID OF THEM?

I guess you're talking about me. Which particular wall shall I stand against so you can shoot me? Gwynne

I'll stand with you Gwynne:) Well, maybe behind you a bit:)

And I'll support both of you from a nice safe distance. Helenxx

It started a long time before Mr Blair..... some time in the 1960's I think. I think the general idea is good but like most things it seems to have gone wayyyyy too far. You know what they say ......... 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions'......

lol Helen Gaynor's right - a lot of peoples' lives would much harder now if it wasn't for the movement that is now called political correctness. Like most things it's taken to the extremes but these are the exceptions.

Socialists? Where?

Here! *waves and ducks*

Hi Gwynne!! *ducks as bullet whistles past her left ear*. I thought socialism had been dead since Tory Blair came on to the scene. Clarify please. Over and out.

Reform is a good thing, PCness isn't. The two are not the same.

Hi Ruby, We meet in secret in darkened rooms. Gwynne

i think im somewhere in the middle, what should I do?? Help the poor souls stood against the wall or cheer, this is a real tough one for me!!lol

Hi Roxanne, I'm not at the extremes of PC but I do believe there is a lot of good unsung PCness about. Far more than bad stuff. Gwynne (trembling)

I think there is a difference between tolerance and PC . We should be tolerant about other cultures, religions, sexual persuasions etc. But PC takes it too far which is what causes trouble. PC means we actually forfeit our own beliefs for those of others. Ann glos

Hi Gwynne, dont tremble!!lol i cant shoot straight anyway!!lol and Im really a pacifist by nature, love debate but hate violence, so your safe with me!!lol and I respect your opinions 100%:-))) x

Thanks, Roxanne, I agree that some goes way too far. But I don't have a problem with people being treated equally and all beliefs being respected. I'm not in favour at all of any religion being forfeited. Gwynne

Bring back Enoch (Rivers of Blood) Powell - AND THIS TIME LISTEN TO WHAT HE HAS TO SAY !

I think PC (or morality or whatever) should just evolve. I don,t like people being paid to diligently search for anything which will justify their jobs. As an example. how many muslims are offended by CHRISTmas?. Have their been any complaints or is the offence purely imaginary in some officers mind as to what could conceivably happen. Happy days.

FAO Harry Hayes, Harry you are dead right! The officer you mention is only one of a vast army of anonymous 'SUITS' who make all the decisions affecting all of us and see their place in life as a proposer of unneccessary changes merely to justify their own overpaid position. I speak from experience having been a permanent civil servant for ten years.

John Jackman I think you'd need Jesus to bring back Enoch Powell given that he's dead.
