Census takers involved in this year's chaotic population count have been given a long list of words and and phrases that they had to avoid.
'Foreigner', 'half-caste', 'immigrant' and 'ethnic minority' were banned, to be replaced by 'mixed race', 'ethnic group', or 'ethnic community'.
You're not even allowed to say 'confined to a wheelchair' instead you have to say 'wheelchair user'.
Does anyone agree that all this PC is getting fucking stupid?

The only interesting answers are those which destroy the questions.

We've gone beyond "PC" and into "Hate-Speech" over here.
If you so much as acknowledge someone's Race, Sex, Ethnicity or any other "Cubbyhole" They can be filed under, You're labeled some kind of nut.
We have our share of Racist idiots here but, should some kid "of color" (meaning non-white) commit a crime, good luck findin' a picture of him on the news.
I worked for years in mental health after leaving the Army and saw MR/DD (Mentally retarded/ developementally disabled) turn into "differently abled".
It makes the tight ass' feel good I guess.
YES YES YES
My father was painfully walking into a physical therapist's facility, using a cane and holding onto a guard rail...he also had braces on both legs. Even with all this, he could only walk a hundred feet or so with extreme difficulty. The physical therapist was awaiting him on the stoop at the top of the stairs and said,"Well, Mr. Quick, I see that you are quite physically challenged." My Dad replied,"Physically challenged, hell. I'm crippled."

Or if I call a waitress "Sweetie" I might get sued!! Or a co-worker "honey" I'll lose my job!! Is this an Orwellian nightmare....
What happened to "free speech"....for that matter what happened to "free thought"
Oh, I better check the house and make sure the "thought police" haven't showed up for me for typing this....
sincerely, your Euro/Native/Caucasian/American and make sure you don't call me White!! ;-)
Oh yeah, 451 F
Fahrenheit 451, I think Ray Bradbury had something to say on this PC point.
BTW, I find the phrase Fried Chicken offensive. It sounds like they were punishing the chicken for something it did wrong, so KFC should change it's name to KCTFC (Kentucky Cooked in a Tub of Fat Chicken. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"> And another thing. I find offense to saying Politically Correct, it's to firm. I think it should be Socially Thoughtful <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif">

i've already explained to you that your term is bollocks. did you have difficulties understanding my post?
"gender challenged"... would apply to someoneo who is unsure of their gender. such as a transsexual. this is NOT the same as being gay. gay people are quite sure that they are either male or female, they just happen to fancy the same sex. okay?
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
Before you go getting your panties in a knot take a look at Diesels post..Now you see that little smiley face up top...Now take a deep breath and calm down...He was saying it in jest.
In a paper today it points out that in a memo sent round to all police in the Met (I think) that you can't call homosexuals, "homosexuals" as it upsets them......So back to calling them shirtlifters then.

Bollocks is a slang term for what I think you call nuts & nutsack but If I said something was a load of bollocks I would mean it was crap/bullshit/waste of space/time etc

1. I'm over 25
2. Don't think that you can speak for me, I am a free thinking individual
3. I think that homosexuals are more certain of their sex and sexuality than you are. You seem to be scared of them - but then you don't understand them, so that's unsurprising.
4. The penis and anus fit together. Anal sex is also enjoyed by heterosexuals as is oral sex too. Many heteros use dildos, fisting and manyh hetero men enjoy watching two women together. In fact many of the acts carried out by homosexuals are also carried out by heterosexuals, only difference is the sex of the partner. Dumbfuck.
5. You don't HAVE to practise anal sex to be homosexual.
6. The point of this thread was about how PC is bullshit. Not about whether being gay was natural/unnatural. The point being that you SHOULD be able use certain expressions which go far and beyond the original intention of PC which was to avoid offence. Bet YOU still use the term '****** ' too.
7. Yes, your views offend me. No I promise I WON'T cry - I am a big boy now and I have a big boy's mentality. Shame you can't say the same.

I was gonna avoid getting involved but I just cant help it coz its far too much fun when u get posts like that...pahahahahaha!
Please tell me who says what is natural and what isnt in life, Im intrigued! Oh and something that might interest you... a mans g-spot is actually up his bum, why is that then???? Bit strange really dont u think???? Is that unnatural too then????

I guess I'm next......because I have an opinion that differs from you liberal pacifist queer-loving limey brown-holers.
I'd tell you all to blow me, but who knows where your mouths have been.
I seem to have that effect on Redneck homophobes. Can't say it upsets me too much.

Yep, it takes two to make a baby. no denying that.
But what act ISN'T a natural one? We're just animals after all, this isn't a fabricated act, man-made and bought off the peg. It's not contagious, it's not a medical condition. It's no different to being born with blue eyes, or two hands. It's just what a person is and you can no more deny their right to be that way than you can their right to be blue eyed or ambidextrous.
Yea but if sex for humans was only about making babies then dont u think we'd not get pleasure from it? I recall hearing somewhere (no idea where but definatly heard it lol) that humans and one other animal (dolphins springs to mind lmfao) r the only things that actually get pleasure from having sex... i could be wrong though and just dreamed this someplace!
I do believe your right. Wel I do know your right about the dolphins.
It IS normal and it IS natural, for precisely the reasons outlined above.
Of course, an EXCLUSIVELY homosexual population wouldn't last beyond the first generation. But once birth rate exceeds death rate, the 'surplus' breeders can pretty much do what they like without affecting the survivability of the species.
Besides, if nature teaches us one thing, it's this: variety increases survivability.
That`s close.
Humans and dolphins are the only animals that have sex for pleasure aswell as kiddies. ie. they have sex even if they don`t want baby dolphins, reproduction isn`t their only motivation for sex.
Other animals get pleasure from sex, but they only have sex to reproduce.
Not entirely sure if all that made sense. Maybe someone could translate.
I`m sure someone mentioned that a man`s g-spot is in his arse. Anyone seen Road Trip?
If so, does the phrase "massaging the prostate" sound familiar?
I`m not sure if that`s the true male g-spot but it looked fun <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
And I don`t really give a shit what gender a man or woman sleeps with, long as they don`t go shoving their way of life in my face (I Don`t mean that literally), then I don`t really care.
Some people may have a go about this, but when u see two obviously gay blokes walking around together, sometimes u just can`t help but laugh <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
One more thing, anyone hear about the Golliwog getting banned (little black cartoon on the side of Jam jars. If it was a little white cartoon do you think anyone would`ve said a word? It seems that the tide is now turning so that the freedom of speech of white people is now being restricted.
Black person makes a racial insult towards a white person, Police won`t do anything because they`re scared of being labelled as racist.
White person makes a racial insult towards a black person, he`s in the cells and being sued faster than you can say Golliwog.
In short, this PC crap is getting ridiculous. If you can`t handle someone saying something you don`t like, then stay indoors where the nasty people can`t get to you.
