I find the patronising of cnuts who over emphasise political correctness as downright offensive. Some noncey pr1ck telling us how we should think and behave is like something out of Animal Farm.
It's no coincidence that complete fcukwits like Emma bloody Thompson champion it very well. Another bellend is that tit who played Tony Blair and Brian Clough. Michael Sheen I think.
Imagine if we went to war tomorrow knowing that you've got some know nothing butt plug like him or one of his kind fighting alongside you. I'd shoot myself straight away.

Says the man who is demanding his right to offend everyone trumps other peoples right to register their offence at his behaviour. Free speech only applies, if its yours. The moment someone objects to what you say, you're being oppressed?

Jamie, I have no problem with people registering their 'offence at my behaviour', whatever you believe my 'behaviour' to be. Personally I thought this was an opinions forum and I am merely registering mine, however unorthodox you may conceive it to be. Alas my opinion is just one of many, and no matter how I protest or let off steam, this crazy nonsense will continue (political correctness). My opinion may be offensive to some, but I find the behaviour of other people offensive, it's an unrelenting cycle. No point in getting into fistycuffs over it now is there?

Anyway Jamie, I'd like to know why you think I think my right to offend trumps anyone's right to register their offence at my behaviour? It really is a bizarre thing to say. I have no power to stop them registering it, nor would I want to stop them registering it. I'm all for free speech. It's a shame that the patronising and belittling elite in this country don't think the same, otherwise political correctness would be banned, and God know's it should be!

Well that is all political correctness actually is, people using their free speech to voice their opinion. There is no law that states 'political correctness is the truth'. Its just people responding to other peoples statements.

Its just that not being offensive to people has become a lot less popular than it used it be. Times change peoples attitudes change.

Its not some sinister agenda of mind control. Turns out, to use your example, that people don't like being called a P@ki.

That's all very well, but the way I see it is that political correctness is being used to suppress what we say and what we think. It's gone on for years now, so much so that there is a general apathy towards it. I do think it rather sinister because it's being impressed on a younger generation to the extent that they think it's gospel. It's totally appalling.

Why do they not like being called a P@ki then? Do they not know/like where they're from?

Pandering to lunacy is not going to make it go away.
Insulting people is hardly clever but being threatened with violence for offending them is another matter. That has to be met with resistance.

Free speech has never meant you can say what you like at any time but political correctness is now being used as a political weapon or a method of deflecting blame. I have never known a time where so many people have to apologise for the things that they have said because it is seized upon by one agenda driven group or another.
As I said before there are far too many people who take themselves way to seriously.
None of it will matter when we are dead.

That's right. Tony Blair apologising for the potatoe famine. We weren't even there. Ken Livingstone apologising for the slave trade, again we weren't there. Yes it was abhorant but we weren't there. By all means remember these terrible things that have happened so we can learn the lessons, but why are we apologising as we weren't there.

Good post Hrolf The Ganger.
