Is political correctness going too far?

Jump to new
This is what passes as outrageous in 2016. :rolleyes:

Looks like she really wanted to put the boot into Christmas.

Do you know how to use Google? Fact check it yourself rather than just believing what some half-wit posts on Facebook.
 
From what I've read, it came out around 9th Dec and clearly was aimed at kids prior to school holidays.

How it took 3 weeks to get here is anyone's guess. But chain emails have a track record of fact changing as they travel :p

ABC Fact Check has been checking claims made by politicians and public figures since the lead-up to the last election.

Thanks for the non sequitur. I didn't question who ran Fact Check, in fact I never even mentioned the service. I said when you get an email or see something on FB, fact check (note the lower case) it before you post it here.

If you really believe that that Christmas card is meant to denigrate Christmas in any way, then I think you may have drunk a bit too much of Santa's brandy.

Well, I noted it on Sky News so according to you Sky news must be wrong also...The Labor Party are wizards at covering up.

You noted what on Sky News? That she sent a Christmas card and a few punters with too much time on their hands had a whinge.

Do you think the Christmas card is "political correctness going too far"?

It depends on the original wording of the card and if damage control came into play to rectify it after the cat was out of the bag.

The original card is right there at the top of this page. I pulled it off Facebook from some idiot having a whinge about Happy Holidays. So is it, or isn't it?
 
This is one boofhead who claims to have complained about the card. > http://morningmail.org/surveys-say-australians-dont-like-muslim-heres-clue/#comment-33947

How dumb are left- centrist- left politicians? That’s an understatement. Received a ‘Happy Holidays’ card from the socialist Kate Ellis so I decided to write and tell her how ‘offended’ I was by her PC religion. And tell her many other home truths. Said that when I go on holidays she can send me a card then. Amazingly she wrote back and said there were four mentions of Christmas on her card. Went back and had a look and there weee 12 drawings by kids on the back and out of the 12 in 2.1 font were the tiny worlds ‘Christmas’ on 4. Needed a microscope to see it and of course the other 8 were by every kind of ‘specialty group’. Point is Happy Holidays was in 32 point font everywhere. What audacity! They really take us for idiots!!!

The reason he got taken for an idiot is because he was an idiot. Only an idiot would use a vexatious complaint to start an online circle-jerk aimed at conning blind faithers on the right.

Notice the site: Australian morning mail - "Conservative - independent - patriotic" (where you get to see a cockatoo :) )

Ironically, on that same website they posted this only yesterday...

So why was the emphasis placed on HAPPY HOLIDAYS and not Merry Xmas....Very crafty left wing tactic....Kate Ellis is a Fabian so therefore she would be an atheist and they would do anything to remove religion from our society.

So we've gone from she left Merry Christmas off the card, to now she didn't emphasise it enough for your liking. You are hilarious. Just check **** before you post it. Then you wont have to go into damage control.

How was midnight mass?

Funny, I didn't think you were a religious person. I would quite happily remove religion from society if it meant getting rid of Islam too.

I'm wondering how Jesus would be feeling having his surname replaced by an "X" . What do you think R?

He probably wouldn't like it that the Roman crucifixion cross came to symbolise his church. Hard to tell if it's to symbolise his sacrifice or as a warning to non believers and savages. :D

Rumpy I may not be religious but my wife is and I respect the Australian tradition to celebrate Xmas and the kids who enjoy it.

Islam is more political than religious and they do not fit into our society...Muslims are completely opposed to our way of life as everyone knows how they have behaved since arriving here and or born here....They will not assimilate and they do not accept our laws and way of life...They are striving for their own Sharia laws.
