| 1127618 | 2010-08-15 01:31:00 | What annoyed me a bit was the muslims complaining about bus shelter ads showing chicks near their mosque in St Lukes. The ads were tame no nipples or clacker showing, just nubile young chicks not over dressed no worse than a KMart underware junkmail. |

| 1127619 | 2010-08-15 01:34:00 | Another true example that is appalling is: The Leeds Education Authority, in Yorkshitre, have prohibited the teaching or relating of the nativity story in their schools as some Muslims find it offensive. ( and Britain is supposedly a christian country with a state estabished church - C of E.) Similar anecdotal instances of discouraging people from wishing a Merry Christmas, as this only applies as a christian greeting. Examples some UK local authority Christmas Cards. And one of the worst is Rowan Williams,a more mamby pamby get I have yet to come across. |

To be fair Pre,they should be allowed to go back to their homeland. Allah willing of course. |

| 1127622 | 2010-08-15 03:50:00 | Interesting . PC often defines stupid, pointless, meddling with the way things are, such as the carry on which, presumably, gave rise to the following Sorry Ken . It includes the widespread acceptance by the authorities of issues pushed by the self interested minority, in order to not offend them . It has to have a name, so PC it is . I agree, things like nigger are extremely offensive to many people, but far too many people in this country are far too sensitive about unimportant things . As soon as the race card gets played in this country, the authorities fall over themselves to pander to the minority . Get over it people (not aimed at anyone on the boasrd in particular), and lets move on as a counrty together . My 2 cents, including generalisations . I am pretty non PC myself and enjoy taking the piss out of the PC Brigade . However, the sickness I was commenting on was Goodiesguy finding humour in what was happening in his link to a video clip, where a person was about to die in the 2004 tsunami . (My post #9) I find it offensive that someone could find humour in someone who had probably no chance of surviving, along with approx 230,000 others . I must assume he posted without giving much thought to the matter . Ken :horrified |

| 1127626 | 2010-08-15 05:22:00 | Silly shallow stuff Harry. So-called political correctness is often a sneering description of what is actually courtesy and politeness. Called anyone a nigger lately? Absolute rubbish otherwise it would not be called political correctness. |

And the local/national press wouldn't find out. Frankly either you or your "friend" are telling porkies. |
