| 1127598 | 2010-08-14 03:01:00 | "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." By an unknown writer |

Called anyone a nigger lately? Sorry Winston I bow to your specialist subject . You have taken the politically correct path . The point "is" humour, and the seriousnous that is now placed on subjects that should not be taken seriously . All opinions and offence taken are subjective . What you may find offesive, I may find amusing and vice versa . I like to think I can laugh with all and most of all laugh at myself . Keep Smiling |

Keep Smiling Cheers. :D I abhor some of the over-sensitive reactions we hear of and which is called political correctness. Often this does arise from humour and there is an over-reaction by a few. However I do believe in decency and consideration for others. If a joke or a word is likely to offend someone, why use it? Of course political correctness is also tossed about in reference to parenting and physical discipline of children. I can't see why raising children should be political but apparently it is in some minds. |

| 1127607 | 2010-08-14 20:47:00 | Interesting. PC often defines stupid, pointless, meddling with the way things are, such as the carry on which, presumably, gave rise to the following Resident of sunny Nhapier - in sunny Whawkes Bay Ken 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. |
