Thanks, Big Nana, I'll always take your advice on these sorts of issues :)

Dear ALTRAV,

Sorry mate but that is a crock.

Normally when I hear people say they don't want a bar of political correctness they are really saying is they want to be impolite at best and downright offensive and racist at worst and not be called out on it. But god forbid you do the same to them because they get all sooky, just as you did.

Mate all I was doing was 'calling it as I see it' and 'speaking my mind' and not 'bowing down to the PC crowd' and you got your knickers in one hell of a knot. Why do you think that was?

It really seems you can dish it out but not take it and that is a sign of a coward.

What do you think would happen if you met an Adam Goodes or a Buddy Franklin or a Johnathon Thurston down a lonely street and called them 'abo' to their face?

SteeleR, I expect they would say Hi wog, in reply and we would just keep walking. Only someone with malintent would think in harmful terms. Stop fabricating these accusations. As for PC, I have always advocated the destruction of PC and anyone promoting it. And yes it does mean I can say whatever I want without concern about who I offend. If you want to offend me you will have to get in line. If what I say offends you, you have to ask yourself, why? I write with logic, reason and common sense. So why would anyone be offended. Pick fault based on my arguments not your opinions. If my comments are factually incorrect, please correct me, I will appreciate it and thank you for it. But just babble on in some childish rant with no direction or purpose and you will be considered an angry little man. Remember the saying, 'say nothing and be thought a fool, rather than speak and have it confirmed'.

//I write with logic, reason and common sense.//

XD

//So why would anyone be offended.//

Because of the racism, amongst other things. But in this case it's the racism.

//If my comments are factually incorrect, please correct me, I will appreciate it and thank you for it.//

I find that difficult to believe, since you've never done so previously. When people correct your 'facts' you get stroppy and dig your heels in, because you haven't really worked out the difference between facts, opinions and beliefs.

//But just babble on in some childish rant with no direction or purpose and you will be considered an angry little man.//

Indeed.

Alt Rav,

"Remember the saying, 'say nothing and be thought a fool, rather than speak and have it confirmed'."

Indeed.

ToniL,So when I make a comment it's offensive and when you respond with abuse and vitriol it's not. The difference is I am making a general or broad statement not aimed at any one individual. You, on the other hand are attacking an individual not making a broad or general statement. Loudmouth, I said it first, this isn't 1st year primary school. I'm not sure where you stand. I'd rather you clarified your position as I can't tell if your being sarcastic or not. I don't get out much you see so I am not familiar with a lot of this new age speak.
