Political correctness can get fucked - September 12th 2011, 10:25 PM

Most people in the UK are familiar with this bullshit.

You can't say black binbag, because it SOMEHOW insinuates black people are trash. Can't say cripple, because it's offensive. I read in the news of a dumbass fucking store manager taking some toy pigs off the shelves because they offended muslims or something. O jeee.... , oh IM SORRY, does saying JEESUS offend someone ALSO???? Seriously. Get fucked with pitchforks and die.

Sick of these yellow marshmallow sensitive souls thinking the whole world should revolve around them and their petty little likes and dislikes and kiss their ass at the same time.

Fuck it. I say what I feel like. If someone doesn't like it they can come try and know me down. Or sue me. Probably sue me. Everything's so fucking pathetic and lame now.


Now I'm gonna chill with some BLACK coffee.

But don't if you're easily triggered. If you're not easily triggered then go ahead.

I've never seen a rainbow sheep. I'd say it's more offensive to ignore the fact a black sheep can mingle with white sheep without any problems.

(To those who don't know, the nursery rhyme goes "bah bah, rainbow sheep, have you any wool?" now)

I have a friend who's a midget.

Yes, he likes being called midget. He thinks "Dwarf" is too much like "Snow White and the seven" and "Little person" is just "Stupid".

He doesn't give a damn because that's what he is. Words used to describe him, as long as not meant with offesnse do not mean shit.

Also, my dad has an indian friend, not a "First nations" or "Native north american" but an indian. To quote him: "You white people came to the country and called me an Indian, why whould I take offense at your word for me? It's like me being mad that you call the 'great Haidia spirit' a 'raven'. It's all words you use to describe my people and their culture. It's your words for us."

And to be honest I agree with both. I mean we shouldn't go around dropping N-bombs but it gets awkward to meet a dwarf or whatever the hell they're called and have to worry about what to call them. Take a chill pill and deal with it.

I agree. Its fucking annoying. People need to get over themselves and realise that the world does not revolve around them carrying on like a 5 year old.


Come on boys, come on girls
In this crazy, crazy world
You’re the diamonds, you’re the pearls
Let’s make a new tomorrow
Come on girls, come on boys
It’s your future, it’s your choice
And your weapon is your voice
Let’s make a new tomorrow

In my old school we weren't allowed to call them midgets or dwarfs or anything:

"Vertically challenged"...

People actually got detentions for this kind of shit.

I can't wait til I can't call myself "specky" anymore for wearing glasses. It'll have to be "visually challenged" or something.

Re: Political correctness can get fucked - September 13th 2011, 04:49 PM

Yeah, I get what you're saying.

Most of the time it's just the minority of groups kicking up a fuss and then because our government tends to bend over backwards for anyone but it's own people they just do what these minorities say. Like I don't know any black person who's offended by being called black.

It annoys me as well since if it was us going to their home country and we found something offensive there I highly doubt their government would change laws just to make us feel better suited so I don't really see why our government is doing the same for them.

It just sucks that it's always the minority that ruin it for everyone.

it's gone mad i agree.

When they said in some schools that they are going to stop celebrating christmas 'because it might offend other religions' i wanted to punch my tv. Granted this was a while a go but it is complete bullshit how the government is scared to do simple things like be normal, follow harmless tradition.

A few people get annoyed and the whole country has to abide by rules made out of fear.

If you get the chance read the book 'Politically correct bed time stories' by James Garner. It's hilarious haha

Political correctness is so damn annoying. Outside of hate speech and obviously triggering words, I really don't see why word usage should matter. It's annoying and stupid.


We will ask nothing. We will demand nothing. We will take.
