’The entire country will rise up,’’vowed the French president Francois Hollande. Organisers estimated over two million people attended the march, far more than expected.
Across France, authorities estimated at least 3.7million people marced in an unprecedented show of support for the victims of the Islamist attacks.
The Greens, the ABC, the left, have let us down with this PC.
Can you give some examples of political correctness which you don't agree with, and maybe an example of how its affected your life?
Also, you didn't answer my question on blasphemy earlier, Are you ok with anti blasphemy laws?
How about psychodelic truth serum implanted into all Halal food that when consumed convinces the eater to immediately go to the police and confess their sins ?
Thanks, Calliope
We have been silenced with PC, and that is wrong.
My recollection is that we had a brief encounter with carte blanch opinions with our tongues and pens in the seventies and the pendulum was damped back by PC (thanks to the City of London City socialists), corresponding with the infancy of the internet discussion boards and it's juggernaut advance.
When I was a child, too much time was spent by the 15 yearolds and up earning a quid and buttoning their lips to keep the job, rather than voicing an opinion to deaf or easily offended ears.
I'm trying to think of equivalents to Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones, et al in the sixties and before...anyone?

Sixties ? I was too young then. My first recollection of DJ's was Gary O'Callahan and his mate Sammy Sparrow.
Mind you, Sammy did have a bit to say about aircraft noise and chopping down his habitat to put up housing estates, but I don't thnk it was offensive to Alan Jones standards.
What freedom of speech, VC.
We allowed the ABC to broadcast two pedophile homosexuals that desperately wanted a baby, and we weren't allowed to speak.
They transported that child around the world to be abused.
I have plenty more to add which I will later.
This is 2015, and I don't appreciate you taking me back to the 1800's.
The New Emangelism: Drawing Men to Jesus Christ and His Catholic Church, Cardinal Raymond Burke (formerly of St. Louis) opined that, "the radical feminism which has assaulted the Church and society since the 1960s has left men very marginalised." This radical feminism has resulted in men being confused about their role in life, which has led to all kinds of disastrous things like a decrease in the number of altar boys alongside an increase in the number of priests who inappropriately touch them.
You actually do have freedom of speech, But freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism if you use your free speech in a bigoted way.
How about psychodelic truth serum implanted into all Halal food that when consumed convinces the eater to immediately go to the police and confess their sins ?
One man's bigotry is another man's freedon of speech.
Have you seen any of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons ?
Do you think they are bigoted ?
You can start blogs, protest in the street, write letters, do radio shows etc, and no one will arrest you, How is that not free speech.
The Missouri Fair has permanently banned a rodeo clown from performing just because he wore an Obama mask, and now all of the other rodeo clowns are being required to take “sensitivity training“…
But the state commission went further, saying it will require that before the Rodeo Cowboy Association can take part in any future state fair, “they must provide evidence to the director of the Missouri State Fair that they have proof that all officials and subcontractors of the MRCA have successfully participated in sensitivity training.”
Government workers in Seattle have been told that they should no longer use the words “citizen” and “brown bag” because they are potentially offensive.
A Florida police officer recently lost his job for calling Trayvon Martin a “thug” on Facebook.
“Climate change deniers” are definitely not wanted at the U.S. Department of the Interior. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell was recently quoted as making the following statement: “I hope there are no climate-change deniers in the Department of Interior”.
The mayor of Washington D.C. recently asked singer Donnie McClurkin not to attend his own concert because of his views on homosexuality.
U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on athletes marching in the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics in Sochi next year to “embarrass” Russian President Vladimir Putin by protesting for gay rights.
Chaplains in the U.S. military are being forced to perform gay marriages, even if it goes against their personal religious beliefs. The few chaplains that have refused to follow orders know that it means the end of their careers.
The governor of California has signed a bill into law which will allow transgendered students to use whatever bathrooms and gym facilities that they would like…
Transgendered students in California will now have the right to use whichever bathrooms they prefer and join either the boys’ or girls’ sports teams, thanks to landmark legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday.
The law amends the state’s education code, and stipulates that each student will have access to facilities, sports teams, and programs that are “consistent with his or her gender identity,” rather than the student’s actual biological composition. A male student who self-identifies as female could therefore use the girls’ bathroom, even if he is anatomically male.#10 In San Francisco, authorities have installed small plastic “privacy screens” on library computers so that perverts can continue to exercise their “right” to watch pornography at the library without children being directly exposed to it.
A high school track team was disqualified earlier this year because one of the runners “made a gesture thanking God” once he had crossed the finish line.
A student at Sonoma State University was ordered to take off a cross that she was wearing because someone “could be offended“.
According to a new Army manual, U.S. soldiers will now be instructed to avoid “any criticism of pedophilia” and to avoid criticizing “anything related to Islam”. The following is from a Judicial Watch article…
The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics” that soldiers should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban,” “advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “directing any criticism towards Afghans,” “mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.” The Obama administration has banned all U.S. government agencies from producing any training materials that link Islam with terrorism. In fact, the FBI has gone back and purged references to Islam and terrorism from hundreds of old documents.
According to the Equal Employment Opportunty Commission, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against criminals because it has a “disproportionate” impact on minorities
Is that really a fair response, Fx? I usually agree absolutely with your philosophy but this is clearly a tongue in cheek article, essentially mocking that Catholic Cardinal, unless my powers of comprehension are very lacking.That's a fair comment, let's examine the recent opinion of a Catholic Cardinal in 2015...
From the Burqa to paedophilia, women must stop tempting and confusing men or they are responsible for men's responses. Such is the insanity of religious dogma and the fools entrusted to interpret it. Should the press be free to point this out, the major obsession that mainstream religions have with a woman's appearance and attitudes?
Tink, there was nothing stopping anyone wishing to speak against that program. And to be fair to the ABC, they did later broadcast an equal length program essentially underlining how wrong their original interpretation of the men's desire to have a child was.What freedom of speech, VC.
