Guys,
I can honestly say I miss the "good old days" pre. P.C....We called a "spade" a "spade",we laughed at each other & generally got on with things..?
Now it seems that offence is often taken ,usually by someone not even involved in the direct communication ?
WTF ? or as Julious Sumner Miller would say ,"Why is it so"?
The thing is, although they pretended to laugh along and be cool with it, the spade probably didn't enjoy being called a spade. Or the coon, spic, wop, fag, or whatever.
Too much of anything is bad, too much PC is definitely bad, but none is also not much fun when you're on the receiving end of it.
The key to all things is life is finding the right balance, holding the sensible middle ground.
I think the point is with "political correctness" is that because it is imposed on society it is resented as a result.
Of course it's ignorant to use abusive terminology, for example, when referring to people's ethnicity but the idea that it shouldn't be done because it's not politically correct is a nonsense.
It simply shouldn't be done because one should have compassion and understanding and a natural acceptance that people from different origins look different and often have completely different cultures.
The imposition of attitudes results in division and makes it easier for people to differentiate and insult.
Political correctness on our part, is one of the best things that ISIS has going for them.
No profiling
No use of the term "radical Islam"
ISIS loves it!
I hope it's not as bad for you Aussies as it is for us yanks, it is literally killing us.
We all seem so worried about offending someone over something that we don't need to get offended over? I live in the City and work in the bush? I know at work I can still tell someone to F%^k off as a joke and get a laugh out of them. There just not a concerned about what others think of them. its refreshing

Its subversive expensive and dangerous. Expensive - can't say anything against black fellas or communities and the way they are run, or about sit down money or ridiculous title claims or i are racist. Dangerous because we can't discriminate or generalise Muslims or refugees because only 10 per cent of them are extremists. And how many extensions can we put on lgbtsivetc
