Re: P.C. Gone mad Again!!!!!
I think the PC brigade cause more problems than they solve! They (who ever They are) dream up things that offend a small number of people, and then point out that by not saying someones Fat,thin,old,young,lasy,tall,short etc etc then they won't be!
Last year a council wanted to call Christmas "Winterfest" so as not to offend! and guess what it offended people!  Is it possible not to offend ever?? I doubt it!!!

Re: P.C. Gone mad Again!!!!!
The only thing with all this pc stuff is, it's going to make everyone into first class liars.I myself like to be truthful, at least you know where you are with that. A spade is a spade not a shovel.

Re: P.C. Gone mad Again!!!!!
If you cannot call a spade a spade then what happens with a deck of cards?

Do you not remember when the title "old age pensioner" was dropped in favour of the term "Senior Citizen"? It reverted back after our pensioners refused to acknowledge their new P.C. name! After surviving two world wars they are proud to have reached a ripe old age and do not appreciate the P.C. Brigade taking away their rightful glory!

How about "Blackpool = African-Englishpool then? You could also go to the off-license and order some African-Englishthorn Cider. If you took a trip up to Whitehaven you could tell people you were off to Caucasianhaven. Liverpool could become Offalpool (so as not to offend the kidneys in the world.) Manchester I guess would have to be Personchester. I suppose we should not say we are going 'down south to London' we should say we are going 'level south to London'. - down is a very negative word don't you think? What we are going to do about Wales I don't know, the sharks are going to be livid......... |

Re: P.C. Gone mad Again!!!!!
As someone who is not that far off getting my State pension (wow, what generosity!) but intending to keep working - or need to keep working (Thanks, Equitable Life), I realise that to some people I am old, or at least elderly. Don't feel it though.
I remember being told at BRI that we shouldn't call patients 'Love', but most of them liked it and expected it. It does seem that the PC brigade feel that we are all walking wounded, weeping sores just waiting to be irritated - personally I am, but only by the PC brigade. Makes jobs for the boys, though, doesn't it - or is that a discriminatory remark? |

Re: P.C. Gone mad Again!!!!!
If you want PC gone mad how about this from today's paper:
An arsonist has escaped an antisocial behaviour order that could have banned her from carrying a lighter or matches, because it would infringe her human right to smoke. Ormskirk magistrates barred her from having accelerants. Well done Ormskirk magistrates.

Re: P.C. Gone mad Again!!!!!
Most of the silly pc name changes are daft.
Every six months though I have to go and see my neurologist at Queen's Park Hospital in the 'Old Peoples Health Centre.' At forty years of age, this is one name I would like a pc name makeover on. It would also stop my temper tantrums every time my appointmant comes through.

I'd also like to rename Parkinson's disese as well then, to multiple slapping of 'yerself' disease. Cheeky git!
