Sunday's sermon was "Forgive Your Enemies"
P.A.L.E,
I wonder how many times we're supposed to forgive ? Any reference to that anywhere ?

Actually, I think these examples of 'PC gone mad' such as Christmas being banned (which I still haven't seen an example of in Australia, but never mind that for the time being) are well outside the accepted mainstream opinion.

Therefore, an argument could be mounted that doing something like banning christmas is about as politically INcorrect as you can get.

Just sayin' is all.

Tammy Jo - it was a great example and it moved the discussion forward. I appreciated it. It demonstrated that, as you say, some of these PC debacles are storms in teacups are quite trivial. Nevertheless, someone somewhere did worry about "ho ho ho", so it was absolutely noteworthy.

Relpy-

Individual
Classic name under the circumstances. Is ‘Individual” prepared to post in their real ID/ or prefer to hide behind a false name/?

I see you have misunderstood the Sermon.

No, that was ‘us forgiving the veggies ;)

Still its not Sunday anymore is it :)

ER, don’t you have something better to do?
Why not pop back over to the higher moral ground side of life instead of slumming it here in the general thread.

Still of course you are free to go anywhere as we are. If you do not like being out debated try debating the topic instead of attacking the messenger.
Now the old Id tag comes to mind again. Yup gone are the abusive attacks from 'some libbers. New tags with the same silly comments attacking us from out of the blue. We are well used to this system by now..

Don’t worry so much what a group of people self fund good people are doing to help animals.
Why do you worry about people whose only vise is to work to improve animal welfare unpaid?
Can’t you see live exports have tripled and you still can’t by a cruelty free range ham from Coles or Any other major outlet?

Perhaps its best you return to your talks of rubbishing Aboriginals and Dan Fitzpatrick.
Of course you are correct when screaming about our tax payers’ funds already being waisted over many years

BUT whose fault was that? We can not blame the Aboriginal 'people' living in the bush for allowing their leaders to rip them off.
We can blame the Australian Government and ourselves for not caring enough to keep a much closer eye on these funds and Aboriginal people in general.
We wish the Good Dr Dan Fitzpatrick the best of British Luck trying to reach you.

Umm, I wonder it that is PC. One never knows these days. Still it’s not something we tend to give much attention to. We prefer to concentrate on the suffering of millions of Australian animals and present viable alternatives for jobs in the bush and training.

Dear Vanilla,

Emergent Political Correctness is the language of groups who have been endeavouring to achieve the full promise of citizenship. The groups like - women, gays, blacks, and lately physically and mentally handicapped and the mentally ill. All of these groups have been demanding that they be treated with respect and as part of this have asked that we change our language behaviour so as to recognize their humanity. So terms such as, sheilas, poofs, nig..ers, The mentally ill, were asked to be replaced with more acceptable language.

And that was the point Dr Deegan was making.

Cheers.

Dear PALE&IF,

Loved your joke, "Forgive your enemies."

It's now doing the rounds among my friends.

Thanks.
