Hysteria mounting as the troops line up to advocate for violence and hate for fear people are recognising the facile arguments aren't true .... SSM is hurting people when they said it wouldn't hurt anyone. We have three active hetro haters on this forum and they are getting very skitzy.:troll:
 
I am caught wondering whether the underlying principles of political correctness are able to accommodate the perceived need for correction of those exhibiting politically incorrect behaviour.

Can a, politically correct, correction of the politically incorrect, truly exist?

"Shuzan held out his short staff and said, “If you call this a short staff, you oppose its reality. If you do not call it a short staff, you ignore the fact. Now what do you wish to call this?”
 
It's just so tough being "politically correct ". Or incorrect ? Or ambivalent ? Or truly not giving a sxxx what some tossers think.

Wysiwyg I liked your riddle. Clever and complex.. Will have to ponder it's possibilities.

Re the Saintly Right Honourable Mr Tony Abbott. Couldn't you see how I was celebrating the incedible opportunity he had to become a True Martyr for the Cause ? Some dopey twit has given him and his Neathandrals the opportunity of a lifetime to tar every Liberal cause with the righteous indignation only a true Abbotonian could muster.

Not my koan. Touched on some Japanese ZEN when soul searching years ago and the koans are pleasing to read. Questions what we call reality.

Perhaps, perhaps we could call the Short Staff... Tizzie Cynic ? Or maybe Wayney ? That has ring to it doesn't it?

I thought this source added something to the discussion.

You just can't wash it out of your hair can you bas.:D

It's not like I didn't warn you and your cohorts of doing war with the righteous and correct.:troll:

And deep down you do know it's the virtuous, like myself who give you the stable platform to play tiddley winks with societies rules. In countries that have legislated to protect the fringe dwellers you advocate, you wouldn't have a hope in hell of protest at risk of major punative cost and personal freedom.
 
We all see the coppers and fire fighters using a kind of meta talk when explaining a situation, rather than plain English. e.g "person of interest" instead of "suspect".... they seem to be preoccupied with the word "person/s" which in itself discriminates against animals and plural words in the absence of specificity.

I was wondering if the word "bush" (as in trees and scrub) has a lexicon equivalent that satisfies the need for antiseptic sanitised syntax?

Formula One axes grid girls from races to keep up with 'modern day societal norms'

"While the practice of employing grid girls has been a staple of Formula 1 grands prix for decades, we feel this custom does not resonate with our brand values and clearly is at odds with modern day societal norms."

:D What brand value and societal norms would that be?

My bet is that some idiot allowed an old broiler into the board room.

Next step = equity quotas in the drivers seats, with handicap starts
 
Equity quotas. That's a good one. Trouble is track owners will close world wide for fear of litigation due to female body parts resonating with the lumps, bumps and kerb-hopping on any circuit.

The upside for us blokes will be the in-car camera shots of cars flipping - yoga for beginners.

Small finger signs on the highway can be replaced by shots of a gravitational abyss :cool:
 
Forget the F1 what about the gender quotas and lowering standards so more women can join our military, police and fire fighters? That's the danger of political correctness where merit gets thrown out the window in jobs where lives are on the line. It's just stupidity.

We also have a feminist defence minister who subsidises sex change surgery for soldiers wasting tax payers money. It's a ******* joke what our country is becoming.
