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?

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
Thanks gaffo for this post! I don't know about character, more feel like a man with his tail between his legs!

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.
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).
I was wrong... And I have calmed down, level headed! Hopefully... Anyway!

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
Should I believe you this time, or am I going to get another lecture about not calling your grandad a racist in spite of the fact you did exactly that on page 1 of this thread?
Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
No offence to you FlashDangerpants, but the apology I gave you was because I was in the wrong, and I felt within myself that I should give it, I cursed you out, and after thinking about it I shouldn't of...that was the reason why I done it.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:52 am Should I believe you this time, or am I going to get another lecture about not calling your grandad a racist in spite of the fact you did exactly that on page 1 of this thread?
As for whether you believe me or not, I really couldn't give a shit! And as for getting another lecture? Yes you probably will, sometime in the future

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
So being factually incorrect and slandering me because you have the reading age of a chimpanzee isn't what you are sorry for, you are merely apologising for getting grumpy. You're like one of those men who beats his wife, and then begs her both to forgive him, before telling her to stop making him punch women because she's such a bitch.Davyboi wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 9:30 pmNo offence to you FlashDangerpants, but the apology I gave you was because I was in the wrong, and I felt within myself that I should give it, I cursed you out, and after thinking about it I shouldn't of...that was the reason why I done it.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 12:52 am Should I believe you this time, or am I going to get another lecture about not calling your grandad a racist in spite of the fact you did exactly that on page 1 of this thread?

Don't waste my patience saying sorry for some swearing I don't give a fuck about. Learn to read or fuck off.

When you are good you are very good. 'Nail on head' stuff. I don't think he's capable of admitting when he's wrong.FlashDangerpants wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 9:55 pmSo being factually incorrect and slandering me because you have the reading age of a chimpanzee isn't what you are sorry for, you are merely apologising for getting grumpy.

I don't honestly think he's capable of noticing.

Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
yea people complain about this sort of thing here in the USA as wellDavyboi wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:58 pm Am I the only person who thinks this is all getting weird? People are frightened of saying what they really feel Incase they get judged? As an English man, and born on the 23 April. Which is Saint Georges day, this day is not celebrated anymore! Reason why? Because it is associated with racism. Madness!
Another thing which annoys me, and I think is unbelievable, that I read, I know this is going to sound trivial, but APU FROM THE SIMPSONS is to be written out as it has now been decided that it is racist, and stereotyping...sheer madness!
Please give me your opinion please
but were things any better in the good old days?
For example, i live in deep rural USA south. i am a black girl married to a white girl. Lots of people disapprove, but out of those, most choose to at least be polite about this. but many if not most people dont really have a problem with this. (there have been incidents but they are not the norm)
on the other hand, sometimes people overreact to mildly racist jokes
good old days, you could make all the racist jokes you can - but well within living memory we would be run out of town
is the world perfect? shit no
is it better than it was, even given the 'omg apu is racist!' thing? shit yea
Re: Political correctness and snowflake generation
I don't know maybe APU is a racist character, to some people, and like anything is subject to the viewers perspective....but from my view, it would be such a shame to get rid of such a wonderful character..Kayla wrote: ↑Tue Dec 04, 2018 11:13 pmyea people complain about this sort of thing here in the USA as wellDavyboi wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:58 pm Am I the only person who thinks this is all getting weird?

my point was that if you think of the good ol' days, todays snowflakes dont seem so badDavyboi wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 12:32 amer than it was, even given the 'omg apu is racist!' thing? shit yea

remember a short while back there was a commercial showing a mixed race family with a black guy and GASP! a white woman?
this got some peoples' noses out of joint, but most people even around this parts did not give a shit - but not so long ago, before political correctness - no one would dare run such an add
whom do you prefer, snowflakes who get offended by apu, or good ol' boys who get offended by mixed-race marriage? (or same-sex marraige or GASP! mixed-race same-sex marriage)

They also don't seem all that different from other oppressive regimes. As for the black and white advert, that's natural social evolution--NOT forced social engineering by a self-righteous and oppressive political movement composed entirely of hypocrites.Kayla wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 5:20 pmmy point was that if you think of the good ol' days, todays snowflakes dont seem so badDavyboi wrote: ↑Wed Dec 05, 2018 12:32 amer than it was, even given the 'omg apu is racist!' thing? shit yea
