Words to that song seemed fine for 20 years, but not so...  >:(

I wonder what they'd think of the lyrics in my "Kevin Bl00dy Wilson" collection? ::)

OK, no offence meant to any of our younger members but these rules are made up by kids, fresh out of university, who think that they need to justify their existence by making up stupid and needless rules. They have this PC stuff rammed down their throat at every opportunity and as a result, it's no surprise that they come up with these stupid and ill conceived ideas.

Every organisation needs some sort of senior person to vet and review the work of the junior management. In the past that was the senior management team who would guide their juniors using their years of experience. I guess that the majority of the BBC senior management are also kids who are fresh out of university and also don't have the experience to make sound judgements.

It's shocking that the Controller of Radio One had to step in to end this piece of nonsense.

no offence taken ;), but imo its more to do to with all the sad people with no life who sit and listen to every word said on the radio/tv and call the station demading an apology and compensation because they heard someting that sounds like "stop comlaining u f*cking boring c*nts n get a life" and it offended them because they complain at least 10 times a day.

LOL tis well funny....

Was watching a bit of Ramsay's kitchen nightmares on TV yesterday just after seeing this on the news, and believe it or not chalked up on the menu of the restaurant was "pork faggots" ;D

I was tempted to phone up and complain, how dare they use a word like "pork" on the menu, might offend some of our muslim citizens ;)

Well as far as im concerned all this politically correct bullshit started when things like homosexuality was classed as acceptable....before anyone starts jumping up and down getting in a tissey reading this,remeber up until about 20 odd years ago it was classed as breaking the law.

Since we started to accept such things as ""normal"" other things/people have jumped on the band wagon...the jolly wog on the jam jars (think it was jam) was seen as offensive....The classic film where Sir john mills calls his dog ""nigger"" is classed as offensive (despite no ill meaning being meant).

The list is endless and sadly it will continue to grow and grow until such time a government (or England wakes up and starts a movement like the ""peoples army"" and puts its own government in place) grows some balls and puts a bloody stop too all this nonsence,unfortunately before much longer people will be too damn frightened to say anything that isn't approved by said powers for fear of being punished in case they offend someone. ::)

Ahh what the hell none of this PC rubbish effects the Philippines so why should i care. ;D

Now that is racist  ;D

The word faggotapart from been a food item originally was an Irish slang word for a lazy layabout,and as the song was about two Irish characters how can it be homophobic when this meaning pre-dates the Gay one. ::)

As far as shooting someone goes  :o That just isn't PC  :y

I've just received this from an Engineering Agency...I think they are taking the piss a little...

 

I wanted to send a holiday greetings, but it is so difficult in today’s world to know exactly what to say without potentially causing offence. So I met with my solicitor this morning and on his advice I wish to say the following:

 

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

 

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated in recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make my country great and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of their wishes.

 

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

 

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

 

Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

If things carry on the way they have been, then the 100% Englishman will have to go into hiding, and only go out when in company of a foreigner.
We will have to have secret meets just like the Stone masons, or the Buffs, so that we can talk normal to each other >:( >:(

No mate... I dont think anyone on here is, we all have our own views and moan about other people entering the country etc, etc, but racist, no, i certanly aint, live and let live is my motto, thats the good thing about the forum, we all take the rib out of each other, its is only banter between friends and nothing is taken as being racist.
