I'm sorry. It was meant to be funny, but I guess it isn't. If I offended anyone, it wasn't my intention.

I know how you feel Nimbin...I'm so fed up with the double standard of things it isn't funny. This is a very dysfunctional world we live in.

I love it Nimbin...Proud to be who I am. White, straight and proud!

YeeHaw!!

Not an excuse/justification for a pizza bandito/vulture.

I stay a little quiet in these type of discussions, I'm Polish/Hungarian, I show up on Saturday and I'm so proud that I have a good spot for the parade that was...........yesterday. 

I had a politically correct type woman lecturing me about how I should teach my children and grandchildren to think and speak.   I told her: I hate every bastard who isn't me, so you're barking up the wrong f**king tree if you think I give a flying f**k about not offending various groups of people with an identity issues. And if you don't f**king like it, you know where the F**king door is, you queer lesbian bitch."

Now I don't normally speak to people that way, but that bitch got right up my nose by trying to tell me in my own home how my children/grandchildren should be taught/bought up.  Had she been invited to give an opinion it might have been different, but this was a case of a PC zealot butting into a conversation and taking it over to drive her own agenda/views.

Yeah, some twerp came up with the idea that all books which refer to parents as mum and dad should be banned from all Australian schools, because children of gay couples would not identify and would feel out of place.  A comment from one friend was that it was a completely ridiculous idea when the majority of children are of heterosexual parents or single parent families... and why wouldn't a child of a sole parent feel out of place when a book referred to a parent they didn't have. 

Anyway, before I could even thing about responding to the original comment, this politically correct bitch got on her high horse and proceeded to lecture me about teaching my kids/grandkids 'correctly'.  About a minute into her diatribe I was seeing red, so the above was not said to her quietly, and it was added that the door wouldn't be hitting her on the arse on the way out... "not with my boot firmly planted in it"

For mine, politically correct people are at times far worse than the people they condemn.  Not only do they try to impose their views on the rest of us, they often inflame the situation and make matters worse by drawing unnecessary attention to something that is better left alone.

You are an A double starhole Nimbin

Agreed... political correctness is a cancer.... Left unchecked, lord knows where we will be in 5-10 years.

You really shouldn't be selling your grandkids, Mark....tsk, tsk....

White people get the privileges that come just by being born white without it being earned. GAYS are RAINBOW- They are White, Black, Yellow, Red,.... They fought and died to be accepted for who they are. Their fight is ongoing as I'm writing this. Because they are not completely accepted, they are showing they take PRIDE of being who they are, and not ashame of it. Straight people are already accepted, we don't need to show pride, and fight to have a day in the sunlight. Prince Williams of England was born to be nothing less than a Prince. He did not have to earn it. I don't love gays and I don't hate them. I'm a Newyorker

Political correctness is for yellow belly's, in fact the words political correctness themselves just gives them something to hide behind

Starkers....you didn't 'need' to put up with someone/anyone lecturing you on how to bring up your kids....all you had to do was say "Stop right there. Thankyou for your input. Gather your things - and leave now."

Arguing with the self-righteous never works.....

A-Hole! By the way... I'm proud of you.

I agree that many minorities have been disparaged and worse, inflicting strong senses of inferiority. For them to band together in a show of pride probably does raise some persons sense of worth and encourage pride in themselves, but there is a cost. The cost is furthering the already serious fractures in our society. I traveled the world for many years and one common denominator I found wherever I went was a feeling of superiority toward others. The more unfractured the group, sameness in all aspects, the more intolerant of others even to the point of serious dislike for those in nearby communities that were the same as they except for location. That tells me we need a blended society where tolerance is the open door for communication and acceptance. Unfortunately, there are always those in every group who, seeking prominence and praise, constantly raise issues for the media to capture and promote. They are leaders whose followers feel deprived. In New Orleans, after the hurricane, one looter was asked by a TV personality why he was stealing in his own neighborhood. His answer was "They owes me!". He was a follower yet did not know who "They" are. Somehow, we must strive to accept each other to the point where the strident messages of want-a-be false leaders fall on mostly deaf ears. Do you hear me media?
