Sick of having to be Politically Correct over nearly everything

[SickofThisCountry]

Dont want to cause some big debate but is anyone else on here getting sick to the back teeth of having to watch their p's and q's through fear of offending every tom, dick and harry.

I do not think SN is the same as being naughty

You sure?

sorry for living in "middle England

Yeah, so am I! The lack of ethnic diversity is one of the main reasons I hanker to go back to London (yep PC loopy that's me)

I don't disagree with the benefits of RL over MN but living in the sort of one horse community that I do, sometimes MN reminds me that there is a real world beyond here, especially threads like this where it seems the majority are in touch with reality!

I don't know how the press should deal tactfully with an increase in 'anti-social' behaviour when travellers are nearby, it is not as if your nice indigenous to the area people are never committing similar acts or as if all members of the travelling community always do either. An increase in population, however temporary, will increase the rates of most types of offending and there is probably much higher local vigilance and willingness to report fairly minor instances when travellers are nearby.

Yes AmberLeaf, I'm sure...

You know I don't mean to swim against the tide here but...

If mn wasn't so pc I wouldn't get deleted for calling op a knob

I do think people should be able to say whatever they like, then we know who to round up and shoot

Have you ever actually seen the edl website, scary stuff!

On a lighter note I once had an invitation to give oral sex to a fascist stood under a poster portraying a presumably Muslim woman wearing a head scarf (not covering her face)
With 'blood' leaking from the joins of face and clothes and some cliche about womens lib.
If that wasn't ironic enough I was stood behind the police lines at an anti-fash demo at the time.

Fucking pillock!

I don't understand your sarcastic reference to SN children never being naughty then tbh.

So, ByTheWay, what did you mean by the comment

'I know there are a lot of SN children, I know there are a lot of kids who misbehave too - what I don't "get" I guess is why kids with SN never misbehave' ?

Nebulous Now is the time to use 'onanist'!

My special needs children are never naughty. Noisy, sulky, provocative, funny, clever, gorgeous, occasionally spiteful to one another, usually very supportive of one another. Oh, just like the rest of the population!

Ds2 has a great line in naughtiness. I am enjoying ATM his habit of asking me for a brownie and, if I say no, asking his dad for one as soon as I leave the room.
If dh asks if he asked me already he shakes his head.
Fortunately he then giggles, points at himself and shouts 'very naughty'

So not doing too well at the life of crime really.

Right. Come on all you anti pc people. A challenge

Tell me one thing you want to say that political correctness prevents you from saying.

oh no , this will be grim reading.

Popcorn anyone?

Oh crickey Seeker, are you bored too?

Don't worry, everyone, I've done this before. You're quite safe.

Ummmm

Hold steady, people.

Okay I have to go out now in reality got fed up with the DV woman's fidgetting! When I get back later tonight I want to see all the responses neatly catalogued and cross referenced. Seeker it was your idea so you're in charge!

Shhh....he's thinking

i dont really think anything prevents me from saying anything - clearly :)

It is more a feeling..... a feeling that no matter what you say someone will be offended .

For gay marriage - what about the Christians/Muslims?
Against - what about love/civil rights?
For immigration - what about the jobs?
Against - who is going to do the jobs?

So everybody gives wishy washy answers or they are labelled bigots by one side or the other... conversations become dull and boring and plain old vanilla ...

I have views somewhere in the middle - immigration - yes, we need diversity, we need different skill sets, but we don't need ghettos, we do need integration all through the communities, but people want to live where their friends and family live, but..... -

but whenever you start the conversation people INSTANTLY pick on whatever point you've made that they disagree with and it becomes all about that - so I just shut up... just saying the word ghetto is seen as un-PC - so maybe that is one of the things I would like to talk about that I feel uncomfortable talking about in the PC age....

I don't understand the list thing - sorry...

people being offended or not agreeing with you is NOT people being "PC", that's just a silly meaningless phrase.

It's just errr..people being offended due to their personal circumstances , or having a different viewpoint.

Just noticed the OP's username 'sickofthiscountry'....why because you feel you cant be a biogot?
