Political correctness and snowflake generation
Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
To flashdangerpants and vegetariantaxidermy I owe you both a big apology! For the way I have criticized you both, I was a gobshite and out of order and had no right to insult the pair of you! I should practice what I preach, instead of being the hypocrite that I have found myself to be.
Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
Just to clear things up, I said my grandad would be judged as a racist for his views and opinions by todays standards! You are trying to condemn a man who was in the era when times weren't so Liberal... Also I think you might be forgetting that at that time, for their family to accept that their son was to marry an English women, was a major thing.. Yet it happened! As I said I apologise for my rant... But please don't call my family pakis..and my grandad a racist... Because I do take them insults personally.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 12:32 amGet a fucking grip on yourself.Davyboi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 12:19 amFlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 12:13 am

Read properly, pay attention, stop bieng a twat.
Look at page 1, scroll down a little bit. Look at the rambling anecdote about your grandad's farm. The racist grandad - your fucking words. The racist grandad whose friend Tofi ran a corner shop. I referred to the fact that your racist grandfad called Tofi a Paki, and you can fuck off you lying bastard if you say that isn't true.
So, stop being a fucking twat. Read properly, and then shut the fuck up anyway.
Also, stop replying 10 fucking times to everything.

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
I couldn't care less if you criticise me, it's your misreading of comments that is irksome. Flash certainly didn't call your family 'pakis' (that would be ridiculous, especially as he wouldn't know where the hell they were from).Davyboi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 10:24 pm To flashdangerpants and vegetariantaxidermy I owe you both a big apology!

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
My apology, was given because I was wrong and misjudged I accused you both of being snowflakes, which you are! The only thing that is different is I have realised that I am a hypocrite!

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
I didn't call them anything. Your grandad obviously did though, which is what I referenced.Davyboi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 11:42 pmJust to clear things up, I said my grandad would be judged as a racist for his views and opinions by todays standards!

What is the point of your thread? Is it that everyone is getting all het up about labelling people with terms that used to be ok? If so, given that your grandad used to be normal by the standards of his day, but is racist by the standards of today ... we know what he called the Indian guy who owned the corner shop. Do you fucking understand yet you utter fucking cretin?
As VT already mentioned, please take your faux apology and cram it without lube.
Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
I thank you for your candor and reply to me, you have my respect for your honesty in your reply and your regret for having to be put into the position to take another's life over a bullshit war (at least IMO WRT to "us" - not so much to the Vietnamese (both N and S) - who lived there).commonsense wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 10:32 pmcommonsense wrote: ↑Sun Nov 18, 2018 11:21 pm I did not murder people. I killed one person. I killed him because I was afraid he would kill me, not because of his race.Yes, really. I’m not a BSer. I can’t imagine anyone concocting my story as BS.
The event has been haunting me for 48 yrs.
If I had it to do over, I would rather be killed.
I opposed all war, and yet I shot someone who then died of wounds. Instinctual fear over ethical behavior.
The test continues. There was no knowledge about how to ameliorate PTSD in 1970. Unfortunately, it becomes intractable unless addressed early.
Peace, to those who fought for it (yes, we fought to come back to a peaceful home, not to defeat the North Vietnamese, not to keep Commie Corn Flakes off the shelves at the grocery store), has a flavor the protected will never know.
Yes, RVN, Danang, Hue and the Ashau Valley
To be honest, I thought Nam taught american something - "to choose to go to war wisely", but Iraqnam showed me my folly in such thinking.
the latter showed me the history of Nam is not enough for the foolish (and that a Volunteer Army is a bad idea (Pretorian Guard) - i thought it was a good idea, until 2004 and Iraqnam - then it just showed to serve for "others dying for me - no skin in the game - so if war is dumb (like Iraqnam) - fine, no draft so no worries, let the volunteer chump serve/get shot................I'll just wave a flag and "support our troops" in a parade.
BTW 12 yrs ago - I was very vocal anti Iraqnam - internet saves all posts - including Usenet, so you will see my 12+ yr old posts if you have an interest.
thanks for honest reply Sir.

Dave and I have debate in another thread over Brixit, he is not an American, English or may a Scott.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 9:35 pmApparently I'm a 'snowflake', according to you. Could you do me a huge favour and copypaste my 'snowflake' comment that put me in this category in your mind? That would be greatly appreciated.

I will give you the olive leaf! And propose a level ground of discussion, a question for a question! You ask me anything, and I will reply truthfully, I ask you and you do the same? What you say! Truce?
I'll let him clarify as to which himself.

your perspective assumes that PC is correct.Arising_uk wrote: ↑Thu Nov 22, 2018 10:50 pm Gwad almighty you lot sound like a bunch of bitter old farts bemoaning a changing social world. Get over it and hurry up to your bath-chairs as you've left the world in a terrible state for the young so if they want to think differently leave them to it as they're probably not going to have it for very much longer.
I disslike PC thought police mentality.
a await your defence of such mentality (when it seems too extreme to me - at the expence of bigotry (which is allowed via my Constitution - i know you are an Englishmen).
thanks for reply.
to clarify, i support gay marriage and legalization of weed/etc,,,,,,,,,,,have no interest in either, just sick of the vilinization of those that speak against either.
BTW i do not speak out against either - but the PC mentality condemns me for just being silent on either/both and for being a while male.
not racist, GF is a beautiful Black lady.................but i'm sure the PC will either claim she is a "bedwench" or me a "slaver" - dissregarding our personal views of seeing each other has humans over our race.
it serves their tribal pinheaded agenda.

and so since you have your mind back, i'd like to see your views as a level head guy about the matter of this thread "political correctness"
good to see the thread back on track.
Dave, you show character in the above post, and i personally welcome your views on matters - even if we dissagree (you mae culpa(sp) - for me matters much - can't speak for others nor care to).
Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
valid point - took more balls to marry a black gal 100 yrs ago than today in america (sub any race/nation/etc.........rule is the same).Davyboi wrote: ↑Fri Nov 23, 2018 11:42 pm

so an honest person that knows/knews those involved a century ago - can vouch upon their characters.
not some arm-chair "social warrior" living in the lap of luxury today............but "virtue signalling" as a hallmark of cowards/hypocrites.
