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 do believe you are "truth-challenged". And a purveyor of cattle excrement.

Are you quite mad, or just a bnp voter Daily Mail reader?

displayuntilbestbefore · 20/04/2010 22:44

rubetube - what unlikely rubbish.

Toddle back to your baby name thread, there's a dear.

HahA! Angry that you can't call green bags black.
And a black coffee is an Americano now. duH!

this thread is too funny
either that or ive had too many painkillers today

theyoungvisiter · 20/04/2010 22:45

Tethersend - no she's just linked to where she got her examples from.

It was from a yahoo answers page called "what's the worst example of political correctness you've ever heard"

And someone wrote in with all the above.

So it's obvious TRUE, it is, it is, it's TRUE it really is.

here is the page Rube linked to in her post to leningrad

it's too funny. Honestly. Please read it.

And none of the contributers are wackos. Honest. Their avatars look quite normal and everything.

Clearly the majority of you have no common sense.

I don't have any intention of going out and offending anyone and I you are missing the point I am trying to make entirely.

I gave the link because you were all asking for examples and I had none, off the top of my head.

Put it this way, the way the world is now, it is so pathetic, I could report you for 'cyber bullying'

I particularly liked the contributer who wrote in

"The gov't should not be meddling in private businesses anyway."

Yeah, cos, like, laws and shit are so over-rated

And the one who contributed the following thoughtful post:

"In shaking and waking up the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past from the graveyards of different ghostly ancestor's culture and custom with self lack of knowledge.
In having the dead Mummy to rule, lead and guide the survival of living human kind with pots and pans as cheap-skate ghostly constitution and ghostly laws.
Getting themselves kick on the butts by the dead Mummy in kicking the butts of God in not worshiping God.
Without being aware of getting hit on the head with the Book of the Dead.
In messing up and roughing up their head against the wall.
When they were the living and not the dead yet.
Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49
What do you think?"

What do I think? I think WTF?!

be brave enough to give your own thoughts and then you can be harranged for your dodgy notions not someone elses bXllsxit

"I gave the link because you were all asking for examples and I had none, off the top of my head."

Can I just repeat that in caps for the benefit of the hard of seeing (get me being PC there)

YOU WERE ALL ASKING FOR EXAMPLES AND I HAD NONE.

Er, do you not think that is a leetle bit of a flaw in your argument?

Now please could everyone stop being funny because I neeeeeed to go to bed.

Are you saying you actually believe all the crap on that page?
What about this one...
"a 93 year old grandmother was jailed for 9 years for calling a manhole a manhole instead of a personhole"

And we're ones with no common sense?

Youre a whackadoodle. Is that un-Pc enought for you?

ShowOfHands · 20/04/2010 22:54

Actually, in rubetube's defence, you shouldn't ask for a black coffee. Because it's crap.

Goblinchild · 20/04/2010 22:54

We are not being unkind to you, we are amused by your argument. And the gigantic holes that you are trying to cover by blustering.

KurriKurri · 20/04/2010 22:54

I especially believe the one about the 93 year old grandmother who was jailed for calling a manhole a manhole instead of a personhole.

Rubetube if you have no examples and all you can provide is a site which is frankly bollocks, what is your argument? What is the point you are trying to make?

BitOfFun · 20/04/2010 22:56

Yeah, you need to watch for gigantic holes (see earlier post)

seeker · 20/04/2010 22:57

If you didn't have any examples from your own life, why did you start the thread?

squirrel42 · 20/04/2010 22:58

Loon loon loon loooooon.

This thread is both pointless but amusing.

theyoungvisiter · 20/04/2010 22:58

"a 93 year old grandmother was jailed for 9 years for calling a manhole a manhole instead of a personhole"

[weeps tears of mirth]

pleeeeease I need to go to bed. But I can't because I am literally crying with laughter. DH has just asked me if I am alright.

theyoungvisiter · 20/04/2010 22:59

would that be the same personhole MrsSchadenfreude's colleagues were having trouble with earlier?
