I think it’s quite good. I think the link to the Twitter version works better presentationally: https://cueballsdiaryofasadman.wordpress.com/2017/12/29/this-week-week-ending-29th-december/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Of course you did Cueball...

In fact, the concept was created or at least populised in reaction to anti-racism and anti-homophobia etc initiatives. It's an easy way to group quite reasonable ideas with more loopy ones and dismiss them all. nah- its when a afghan immigrant of a certain faith drives a car at white folk and its not terror related....

You seem to be jumping to some very strange conclusions. I was commenting on the improvement in the link format and therefore it made sense to re-link it. You seem to have a lot to say that has no basis in reality or fact. https://cueballsdiaryofasadman.wordpress.com/2017/12/29/this-week-week-ending-29th-december/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he is doing is acknowledging in a half-hearted and overly verbose manner, that which is patently obvious to those of us who are not afflicted by the metastasised cancer that is political correctness. Nature teaches us that birds of a feather flock together. It is the law of nature from time immemorial and we are of nature. We scorn its laws at our peril. Birds of a feather do indeed flock together. But then, of course, in terms of speciation we are all 'birds of a feather'. There are no extent members of the genus Homo other than Homo sapiens. So with all due respect, I would suggest that what you call a law of nature is in fact just an idea, and that 'we' actually choose our flocks based on cultural ideas, geopolitics, food supply, land rights etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDruid-3X3 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 One of the things I find Ironic is although we have Freedom of Speech instilled into our Country's Constitutions, there is no shortage of those within those Country's who actively Limit, Regulate or Censor your Free Speech. I have been Censored so many times that I have Lost Count. 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 IMO any restriction on absolute freedom of speech very soon knocks on to restriction of thought. Political Correctness is wrong, if a thing is found to be offensive to a person's values then tough, live with it or after a reason why but don't expect change to follow. Individuals views on the differences between races, ethnicities, and social norms simply reflect facts, similarly dislike of homosexuality behaviour is a personal thing. While racism or social values should not automatically bar the progress that a person can make based on their abilities, nor should abnormal sexual predilections, it should be the absolute right for people to express their feelings about them. I don't like snowflakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Political Correctness is wrong Not to the Muslims who use it as a Tool to Force Over their Agendas onto the rest of us. And if we ever say anything against Sharia Law, they start Screaming that we are being "Politically Incorrect!!!". They insist on the rest of us being Politically Correct but they practice Political Incorrectness All The Bloody Time! 3X3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
