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?
Apparently 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. Btw, if you are English when why are you using American badspelling?
Dave and I have debate in another thread over Brixit, he is not an American, English or may a Scott.

I'll let him clarify as to which himself.
Im what you call a scouser! 😊 I am from a place called Liverpool... As for my ancestors, etc...we don't really class ourselves as anything else really, just scouser.

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.
nice to see the above post.

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).
Thanks gaffo for this post! I don't know about character, more feel like a man with his tail between his legs! Lol 😂
I was wrong... And I have calmed down, level headed! Hopefully... Anyway! 🤞🤞🤞

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?

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.
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

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.

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

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
yea people complain about this sort of thing here in the USA as well

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

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..

my point was that if you think of the good ol' days, todays snowflakes dont seem so bad

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.
