Foxy: If the sensibility and empathetic natures needed of something are somewhat lacking - how else can we challenge those who either seek to harm or inadvertently do so. All we can do is keep repeating until we're blue in the face - NO! IT'S NOT OKAY!

You are so right Foxy. Politically Correctness is NOT OK. &, Sensible people must take a stand against it NOW!

Dear Jayb,

We need to consider at what point something posted on
Facebook, Twitter or Camper Vans should not be tolerated.
It has nothing to do with political correctness or
freedom of speech. It's a moral and Ethical choice
and up to each of
us to make. Then of course you can always tell the
Advertising Standards Bureau - that you disagree with
their Code of Ethics - and perhaps they'll buy your
attempts at brushing it all aside under the guise of
"political correctness." It's so much easier after all
to do that.

I always wonder what cosseted little lives these puritans must have, they must be scared to venture out in case they are offended. No TV, no internet etc.

I have never tried to protect my kids from this stuff, as they are sure to hear it at school, on the net etc. What I do is simply let them know how I feel about it and they have grown into sensible adults that ignore immature rubbish and those that propagate it.

If someone wants to announce to the world that he is an immature twit by painting silly slogans on a van so be it.

SM,

"I always wonder what cosseted little lives these puritans must have, they must be scared to venture out in case they are offended. No TV, no internet etc."

"If someone wants to announce to the world that he is an immature twit by painting silly slogans on a van so be it."

For a start, the slogans are not only immature, they're also offensive. Not only are they offensive, but they are mobile signs. They can turn up anywhere. It's not as if one has to go somewhere specific to find them, knowingly and half-expecting offensive rhetoric to appear.

I'm not a bloody puritan, but I do have the wits to know that certain attitudes and rhetoric has no place in a respectful civilised society.

Just how long do you think people would get away with daubing private property with such remarks, without being told to remove it?

How would you like it if the people living across the road from you hung up a banner saying "In every little princess there is a slut who wants to try it just once..." - and left it there?

I'm sure you'd be thrilled at the prospect....but your neighbour would only be exercising free speech on exactly the same principle that you espouse for the camper company.

Of course, if the owner of Wicked had an ounce of wit, he could have been a bit saucy and clever - and made his signs entertaining. The problem is he has no wit or talent in that respect....which is why his vans sport slogans that were probably lifted from some dingy "gent's" toilet in a run down pub somewhere
