Banjo not because I want the thread to be a big one.
But as is always my reason for posting one, I want to see the subject given air.
For that reason I will not further divert the thread, last word here, if you want to talk about it start a thread.
So many flee any thread about politics.
Others if its about religion, maybe some PC thoughts have infiltrated our life for century,s.
Like all PC we must judge why, to stop us speaking the truth?
To hide the truth.
To bend the truth? Protect just plain wrong?
When is truth lessor to PC.

Hi All,

This is from a training program that is widely used by recruitment agencies to train & select staff.

<<Sexual Harassment and the Law

Everyone has the right to be safe and free from harassment while at work. Behaviour that is sexually offensive to somebody else in the workplace is against the law, and all workplaces and employees are responsible for keeping the work environment free from inappropriate sexual conduct.

Sexual conduct that amounts to sexual harassment includes a number of things. Making any gesture, action or comment of a sexual nature in another person’s presence is sexual harassment,even if the person you’re talking about can’t hear your comments – that’s right, they don’t even need to hear your comment or see your actions.

You might think this is taking the harassment thing a bit too far. After all, if the person you’re talking about can’t hear you there’s no harm done right? Wrong! Behaving in this way isn’t good for anybody. It can make your workmates uncomfortable, who might not agree with your conduct, and may find it offensive.Aside from being against the law, inappropriate sexual behaviour is so not welcome in today’s workplace!>>

Ahhh, but then what is inappropriate ?
Some behaviour I have seen condemned means that many of us would not be here !
Men have been harassing women since time began.

Bazz and what to some is harassment is to others a right and or necessity.

I consider the amount taken by CSA and given to my ex (curently around $17,500pa after tax without any monitoring of use) financial abuse. Because it suits some peoples agendas my objections and lack of consent is dismissed.

That is one of the problems with a lot of this stuff, it gets very subjective, some peoples sensitivities and rights to control over their own lives are considered far more important than that if others.

Belly,
OK no prblems.

I get particularly incenced when media are reluctant to say what ethnicity or otherwise describe persons that are involved in crime,

The SMH is one of the worst at this. It is simply because they do not wish to offend somebody. Look at the restrictions that were placed on victorian police by the former commissioner.

I was very upset about the bashings and robberies of the Indian students. Our authorities were willing to allow the world media to portray the attacks as racially motivated and carried out by anglo Aussies, when in fact they were carried out by ethnic groups with robbery as the motive.

We need to work at eliminating PC by exposing it whenever we come across it and work toward truth and straight talking.

Here's another nice little PC inspired initiative (Multiculturalism PHASE TWO)

“A children's play centre has barred fathers from attending with their children and is now facing an investigation by equality watchdogs.
Kids Go Wild is believed to be the first such play centre in the country to introduce a ‘women only’ policy – which also bans boys over the age of nine.
Bosses at the centre, which opened less than a fortnight ago, claim the policy was instigated for ‘cultural reasons’ and was in the interests of the ‘predominantly Asian’ local community.”

Wait till the Greenies get to hear about this, it will at the top of their *progressive* agenda.
