Is political correctness going too far?

[Tisme]

It was quite an interesting tactic to sooth their self absorbed absurdity, mo.

Satirizing themself to their own echo chamber, as if there was some sort of irony, thereby creating an actual irony.

Meanwhile, those normal well adjusted folk, half interested enough to read what those Orwellian misanthropes are writing, are thinking, "well duuuuh".

Trying to use sarcastic absurdity so that commonsense fact appears ludicrous. Are they misanthropes or just vandals? That article is the kind of hysterical logic girls bang on with when going through puberty and dad goes fishing.

I think they, and many others who rally for controlled social order, are actually the plutocratic dystopians masquerading as plebians. They use the opiate of dissension to indoctrinate, inculcate and iteratively persuade the brainwashable to do their bidding.

Is the disease Homosexuality ? Must we gird our loins, sharpen our swords and ensure that the pernacious influence of nonstraights is squashed before it has a chance to infect our precious children ?

I notice how you clap onto the baits, but ignore the truths. This IS a social disease that will usurp the current social order.

Everything comes at a price and while the new social soldiers like you crave for no other reason than change for the sake of change, you'll still be chanting how righteous it was when the society you championed sinks inexorably into a modern Sodom of free for all.

And when the Caliphates come to town, you'll hide from them and deny you ever had any hand in sharpening the thin end of the wedge that relegated good people as fossils of an unenlightened past.

Why didn't someone tell me the term "Aborigine" is now white man's slight on whatever we can call the people who were here before British colonisation?

What do they want to be called ? "First Australians", "original owners" , "wise and knowledgable ones" ?

No apparently we have to learn the various regional languages as first port of call

e.g. Wiradjuri and another 150 odd that are still used
then
tribal names
e.g.
Nyoongah = WA
Palawa =Tasmania
Murri=Qld and north west NSW •
Koori = NSW
Yolngu = Arnhem Land
Ngarrindjeri = SA
Nunga =SA
Anangu = Central Australia
Koorie = Vic

So Tisme you believe Homosexuality IS a social disease that will ursp the social order.. Back to the Dark Ages are we ?

I'm not craving change for the sake of change. I just realise and accept that people have a very wide range of differences including their sexual preferances. Treating these differances as something to be despised and feared and by, logical extension, outlawed and persecuted is IMO profoundly wrong.

There is a world where your views become real Tizme. The Handmaids Tale explores these themes exceptionally well.

"First Custodian".

That's what they tell the kids at museums, zoos and other public places.

It's sounds great too. That the Aboriginals didn't "own" the land, they were simply the first custodian... and we/White folks are of course the second, taking on the responsibilities and so forth.

Quite impressive how history can be washed.

Though to be fair, Westerners are actually more polite and apologetic about their (older, done and dusted) imperialism.

The Chinese, the Viets, the Russians etc... it's either "what natives" or "yea, we were also pretty cool and manly too".

Apparently BigW have dropped the "Christmas" out of Christmas Tree in their advertising

They are still using the word Christmas in their advertising, but it doesn't say Christmas on the box, instead it just describes the tree.

Meh, who cares, really until you decorate it and call it a Christmas tree yourself its just a tree. Christmas trees are just regular pine trees till you decorate them, and these aren't being sold with decorations.

but did you see those prices, thats a bargain, who cares what they are called.

I'm fairly sure it's a sin not to decorate a foreign tree for xmas.

I'm fairly sure it's a sin not to decorate a foreign tree for xmas.

opinions vary, the bible is against cutting and decorating trees, as it says its seen as pagan, and a bunch of christian denominations are against Christmas trees and also the very idea of Christmas, while a bunch of christians denominations love Christmas trees.

Some christians say this bible verse is talking about Christmas trees, others say its not.

The King James Version reads: “Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen…. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.”

May have been intentional. Free marketing!

Some people like the smell of a dying pine tree during the holiday season, regardless of the fire hazard and mess,

We have to give the Hobart Anarchist full points for kicking "political correctness" in the nuts. He believes, after long and careful consideration..., that Tony Abbott is just a "xxxxing" worm and after a few beers thinks Tony deserves a Liverpool kiss.

And then does it. But of course he has had a few beers so Tones gets off with a split lip.

Certainly nothing "politically" correct here boys. Didn't mince words. Just said exactly what he thought of the lying, scheming xxxx.

Malcolm Turnbull condemns ‘un-Australian’ headbutt attack on Tony Abbott by gay marriage supporter
THE man who allegedly assaulted Tony Abbott has explained his motivation for the act, saying it had “nothing to do with” same-sex marriage and the former PM “got off lightly”.

Abbott 'shocked but unscathed' by headbutt

THE self-described Hobart anarchist charged with assaulting former Prime Minister Tony Abbott says the incident had nothing to do with same sex marriage.

Astro Labe, 38, of North Hobart, said he will argue his impulsive attack on the Liberal MP was motivated his longstanding dislike of Mr Abbott.

He said he had not intended to cause embarrassment to the same sex marriage cause, which he supports.

“It was nothing really remotely to do with that. It’s just about Tony Abbott — The f***ing worm that he is,” Labe told News Corp Australia.

“All it was is I saw Tony Abbott and I’d had half a skinful and I wanted to nut the c***.”

But political correctness a la The Left has been to demonise Tony Abbott and blame him for all the ills in Australian Society. It is the politically correct mob who will be sanitising the assault as we are currently hearing as in: it was Abbott who opposed a parliamentary vote, so he really is to blame for all the subsequent vitriol and violence including this incident.

Don't be fooled by the condemnation from all sides in relation to this attack. That was what they "had to say" when questioned about the attack. Deep down, many think he deserved it.

The attacker wasn't kicking political correctness in the guts, but instead he was exemplifying what it results in. I know from those whom I regard as politically correct and have talked to about this incident, that they all think the attack on Abbott was deserved.

 

[SirRumpole]

that they all think the attack on Abbott was deserved.

Condone any sort of violence and you are on a slippery slope.

I really can't stand Abbott. The line "better to seek forgiveness than ask permission" relating to his horror budget says it all about the man. He is totally untrustworthy. Some sort of demonstration against him is appropriate, I don't really think head-butting is.
