On the contrary, thank you for demonstrating mine.

Incidentally, I never use the old "Political Correctness" call, to resolve any conflicts of that nature perpetrated upon myself, I have no problem with resolving issues by using physical violence  ;D
But for many others, that is their only way to resolve an issue, because bullies only target someone they see as weaker or more timid than themselves.

The new and powerful player on the block is "Political Correctness"

You are continually assailed by this insidious and unforgiving mongrel.

Dare to speak your mind, question a woman's rights or abilities (even logical strength questions) at your own demise.
Never mention race, colour, sex, sexuality or beliefs.
Any deviation from the accepted demasculated male role model is punished severly and never, ever open a door for a woman.

And women dont have it all either, gone are the days of gossip, legal and sever punishment is the result.
Daring to be a woman and relishing your femininity is forbidden, you must be a pseudo male to survive.
Decrying the feminatzi is the most sever crime that can be committed, and your punishment is all and forever.

Finally, race and religion.
Two separate, but for those wishing to profit from the amalgamation, related conditions.
Its OK to poke fun at Christians as we are the ones who have no say or teeth.
But some religions cannot be questioned, or even degenerated with the disregard given to Christians.

Yes political Correctness has us all under his thumb.
We dare not stray, we dare not deviate.
This will be the downfall of our culture, our way of life, what life is left after all the continual criticism and punishment.
This is our world..............live it in fear.
Thanks for this well written post....

Christains and belief systems....   Dare a Christian speak his/her mind and say they believe a marriage is a union decreed by the creator of the universe - between a man and a woman. ...  not between 2 homosexuals...

Dare the Christian say they believe that that union should be the mechanism to create a child....   

That a child not be brought into this world as a "lifestyle accessory" to be (potentially) loved by 2 homosexuals - whom cannot otherwise obtain a child... by defacto thus making that a selfish thing for them to want/have..

O' no - the person with that particular belief system (Christian) - gets condemned immediately as a narrow minded bigot....

On a slightly different topic - I would love to see the ABC allow a comedy series lampooning Muslims (French satirical newspaper style)....   for all to see just how deadly the religious bigoted wolves whom roam amongst us really are....

The explosive backlash would make the Lindt Cafe look like an Australia  picnic in the park..

Come on all you social leftie political corrective types ("don't mention the war" - save you may offend someone LOL)....   why don't you put THAT type of comedy on the telly....

Yes, we know why......

.. Thanks for the link, troopy...

Charliehebdo is a somewhat complex, twisted child I would suspect...

But when well they be publishing a cartoon of mockery on themselves?

I don't know - the cartoon could go something like depicting the Earth as seen from space - but seen as a charred smoldering wreck...   From space the viewer sees a spacecraft with some 'loony goons' at the helm; looking on in slight horror...   

On the side of the spacecraft an image of the Eiffel Tower broken in 2 - and a caption saying "Charliehebdo Directors"

Explanation:
The ruined smoldering Earth represents our planet's demise because of its ruination from the ultra cynical; leftist pseudo intellectualists...  Where their self-perceived whit sees them stand for nothing - holding everything they see as beneath them with equal contempt...

The Eiffel Tower snapped in 2 - is like you would see a USA flag on a spacecraft - but in this case its symbolic of the brokenness of the very cradle of equality and idealism AND a powerful belief system seen and true and pure --  (The French Revelation) (which hatched democracy in the USA, etc); as lost and broken - because of the disease outlined in the preceding paragraph..

The sign on the side of the spacecraft "Charliehebdo Directors" is intended to leave the reader with no doubt as to what caused it...

AKA -
"Stand for nothing"; (equally universally condemning of all of humanity);
"And you WILL fall for anything..."

Was sent this the other day,  sorry about the capitals,

the true meaning of political correctness

"POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS A DOCTRINE, RECENTLY FOSTERED BY A DELUSIONAL, ILLOGICAL MINORITY AND PROMOTED BY A SICK MAINSTREAM MEDIA WHICH HOLDS FORTH THE PROPOSITION THAT IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE TO PICK UP A PIECE OF Shit BY THE CLEAN END"

the final objectives of political correctness advocates is;
That the whole human population, by appearance or actions, will appear as if of the the one sex.
That human interaction on any physical level is abandoned.
That human emotion, joy, laughter and enjoyment is banned.
That confrontation, regardless of legitimacy, is banned.
That individuality and all that which makes us different is illegal.

There is a perfect example of a species that fulfils these ideal perfectly.

The ants, all appear as if identical and all work purely for the nest.
Enjoyment does not exist, nor does individuality or rest.
If this is what the political correctness advocates want, then I will oppose them to my death.

I am a man and proud of it.
I tell jokes because they are funny and laugh loud.
I am masculine and happy to protect myself and my family as a man would.
My wife is feminine and happy to be feminine.
She is also a strong willed woman who stands up fer her rights and I would have it no other way.

Its a manhole cover....not an access cover.
Mary had Black sheep, not rainbow sheep....that's just stupid.
I will complement a woman who is pretty, its a complement, not an insult moron.
Ill say thank you "Love" to a woman and open doors for them and even give them my seat.
I have no problem with an older lady saying "Thank you dearie to me.
I will protect a woman or child in danger, as any real man would.

Equality does not require political correctness to be functional.
Respect everyone regardless of their sex, race or personal preferences......but also respect mine, its a two way street.
I will stand up for myself against sexless, twisted clones who see themselves worthless as an individual.
Enjoy who you are, rejoice that we are all different, it would be a bloody boring world if we are all exactly the same.

So I take it that I should de-sexualise myself and become mono-sexual with no emphasis on the male or female roles?
Where will this leave those who enjoy diversity and true erotica?

I should extend myself to the limits of human misery to ensure that I never, intentionally or unintentionally, to never offend anyone ever.

This is practically and totally impossible.
As far as you can go to eliminate any offence, someone will always be there to take offence at something or anything.

An example was at one conference I once attended when several women stated that a man in a beard was offensive to them because it was a demonstration of a woman's inability to grow a beard.
Yes this absurdity is true and I was at a total loss as to what to say.

And what about a true Christians offence at what they would consider offensive.
Open homosexuality, using the lords name in vain or even inappropriate clothing.

Of course it would be OK for this if one was of a certain religious bent, but Christianity is open slather.

Now I have friends who are of some unusual sexual and religious leanings, but as we all breath the same air, this is of no consequence to me. But even they feel threatened by the ever expanding wave of political correctness.
It is my friends and their like that political correctness was initially imposed, to allow them to live their chosen lives in peace.
But as we morph more and more into sameness, any deviation from the norm will soon become unacceptable and this political correctness monster will devour their individuality and create and even less tolerant society than we currently have.

Now THAT  is offensive :-* :-* :-*

Rather say, Beauty Challenged.

Thats the correct way to say it isnt it?

Mary had a little Lamb
NOPE, NO GOOD

An individual, belonging to a community group so as to not favor ownership issues had a small animal (because Lambs offend vegetarians)
BETTER

Its Fleece as white as snow
NOPE,

Its coloration the same as all the other animals, so as to not promote differences or favoritism.
BETTER

And everywhere that Mary went.
The lamb was sure to go.

NOPE,

And everywhere that the individual went. (We cannot mention either sex)
The small animal belonging to a community group followed, but not through coercion of any need other than it wanted to.
BETTER

This is the future of our education people.
