To be totally fed up with Political Correctness

[rubetube]

I'm all for manners, equality and respect but my word, it's all becoming over the top don't you think?

No specific examples, just noticed it recently.

I expect i'll get flamed btw

oh its gone mad hasn't it, i blame camilla parker-bowles and god

Yep, all a bit much. The thought police are out in force

It's very hard to know if you're being unreasonable without examples.

I think you kind of need specific examples. Especially as the definition of 'political correctness' is wildly different for different people.

To me it just means, well, as you say, manners and respect. Can't say I've noticed a massive upsurge in that recently...?

And don't forget health and safety gone mad too.

I mean people playing on things....

You can't do that / say that / think that because i'm black/white/gay/straight/old/ young/ a woman/a man

Dear rubetube

Leningrad - you're just flippanting around the boards tonight, aren't you

(yes, I invented a word, but it was a good one!)

I'm not racist but...

God I quite agree! It's political correctness gorn mad

runny bottom You have taken what I have said totally out of context.

I'm not saying it is wrong to give equality and respect for goodness sake.

I'm simply saying that people have become scared of having an opinion because some people take advantage of a situation and milk it for everything they can. For instance they will use their race/age/gender/religion to exaggerate things.

Shall we all just post some Daily Mail Platitudes?

I'd like to add "youth of today".

And maybe "women, they're a bit uppity these days aren't they?"

wtf is this thread about..........
help me please

Ooo yes.

"Milking the System" that's another good one. Not sure exactly how you milk a system, I'd quite like guidelines if there are any?
