Howler: << Any tips on the future inhabitants once the do-gooders have re-educated every citizen who was speeding through traffic talking dirty to his mistress while chewing on a grain fed meat fast food product while swearing racist abuse at other drivers as grease dripped onto his beer gut and pornographic magazine on his lap?

[...]

if only people could just see!

And be more like me! >>

Perhaps charitably, I hadn't imagined our Howler as being quite so dysfunctional.

Seriously - I think it very much depends on the kinds of novel you read.

Wobbles; Show me somebody who has ever been jailed, arrested or even charged for saying something deemed to be Politically Incorrect.

There's the guy who was recently charged in Alice for wearing a shirt with a racist statement. It's the same as saying it!

It is known that in some hospitals and uni's that one can't ask for a black coffee, it's either 'with or without milk'.

Or what about the dwarf throwing events held in the pubs back in he early 90's.

The dwarfs had a ball, the participants had a ball, the pubs 'cleaned up' so as to say, but the 'do-godders' put a stop to it because they just had to stick their noses where they didn't belong.

PC'isum is like a religion, they just can't help but ram their crap down our throats whether we like it or not.

Believe what you want, it's a free country, well. 'it was', but before they go changing our world, they should first ask if we are unhappy with the way it is

"It is known that in some hospitals and uni's that one can't ask for a black coffee, it's either 'with or without milk'."

I bet you really believe that don't you?

Did you ever find that left-handed sharpening steel they asked you to get when you were an apprentice?

Kyle Sanderland was suspended for 2 weeks for suggesting that Magda needed a stay in a concentration camp to get to goal weight.

His reference to concentration camps might be offensive to Jews and fat people. This was PC gone mad.

Mostly the people that complained were niether fat nor Jewish, but were outraged on their behalf.

What a bunch of pansies.

examinator,

It's always toilets with you. I haven't heard human excrement for a while though, you're slipping. You're a fine example of what I'm talking about. You really really hate people.

pelican,

'Ideology doesn't matter, Left or Right we are all flawed and imperfect.'

It's more than that. It's an innate hatred of all things human. People's flaws are interesting and are what makes people people. The right embraces human endeavour and self interest and individuality, the left embraces 'make them all stop buying McMansions' 'you're not 'really happy' you cant be I know', 'Stop kids watching tele', 'don't smoke', 'Australians are all racist', 'If you only 'understood' you are a victim of blah blah blah'.

To me the left are the ones wanting to constrain humans and don't like humans very much, patronises people, and doesn't give them credit for making their own choices. The whining about everything, the 'Big Business' is scum. These Big Corporations are made up of people. Some nice, some not so nice. The only people the right seem to have disdain for are dole bludgers. And that's only because they don't want to pay for them. So, granted, the right can be unsympathetic, but the left are the ones who really hate people.

The left by far do the majority of the complaining about how people are choosing to live their lives. Then we have the Earth worship where saving the trees and animals comes first and thinking of humans as a scourge on the Earth, terms like human excrement (Exam).

'There is plenty of individuality and free speech remaining it just depends what we choose to see.'

My point is, if the left were to have what they want, to win, what would be left of genuine humanity? What colour would be left? What would be 'left' to whine about?

wobbles,

'I am entirely free to call a "visually impaired" person blind'
Only if you do it in private. Otherwise you will have to have a press conference and apologise to save your career.

CJ,

'I hadn't imagined our Howler as being quite so dysfunctional.'

That surprises me.

'I think it very much depends on the kinds of novel you read.'

Dirty Havana Trilogy?

Shadow Minister,

Fancy a 'Creole' Biscuit? This is so funny...

"Warming to his theme, Watson, a one-time Socialist Alternative candidate for the Senate, continued: "This is the same kind of thought that underpinned horrific regimes like the Nazis."

The period to which Watson prefers, when humanity was measured by white blood content, is apparently the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, which also produced a number of other words, such as "black", "white", "gyroscope" and "fish" to name but a few.

Coles tried to argue that the name was attempting to evoke images of the famous Louisiana cuisine rather than, say, ethnic genocide.

This was perhaps because the latter, focus groups had shown, tended to have a dampening effect on sales. "

This race thing really bemuses me. CJ's always calling everyone a racist (except him of course, other people just cant 'see' they are racist).

I'd never eat such a racist cookie myself.
