Perhaps we should talk about everyone and everything in third person. That would solve a lot of these idiots problems. I didn't know about the mother, er mainboard (OMFG thats stupid!) thing, but now scifi can't have motherships.... (mental wordless rant ensues)

Now look what you did. got me all bothered.

It's not political! It's politicly correct!!! What a stupid choice of terminology on the part of the universe!!! Politicly correct?! (becomes more bothered)

I'm a long time despiser of the PC thug, I blatantly take pleasure in offending them, especially when the fe-mail man delivers the mail.

The holier than thou attitude they carry has never played well with me, especially considering Im australian and we have a proud tradition of political incorrectness that im not inclined to change. So when someone pretends that they have a right to enforce thier misguided beliefs on you, you can tell them this is the way you are and if they don't like it, file a complaint with the Minister of I Don't Give A ****.

I have a book on Political Correctness.

Taw is sure to say that he isn't getting his money's worth.

Sir Spectre

Mustang, I didn't know that you were a fellow Australian! Good to see there are more of us here than just Harrier and I. Those fanatical PC types make me mad still, we Australians don't have to worry. Even the PM (John Howard for you Yanks) wouldn't be stupid enough to force us to be excessively PC. Then again, he DID introduce the GST...

"I don't run TLR, but I have an understanding with the people who do."

I despise political correctness. It intrudes on my freedom to say whatever the hell I want.

Why the heck can't we say the things the way they've been said since time and all eternity? Come on! Mainboard? WTF?

do u mind NOT discussing my sex life? at least without me being present!

j/k, i thought that was pretty funny!

no I'm NOT getting my money's worth. I'm gonna have to renegotiate terms (bend over woman, I bought u a Babycham, didn't I?)

as u probably won't be surprised to learn, me not pc, only pc I understand is personal computer. honestly it's a load of namby-pamby nanny-state new-labour neo-fascistic claptrap, from people who are generally so bad at their jobs they have to invent roles for themselves, pathetic weak middle management creating work and problems where they don't exist. Lesbians* are behind it all u know. I've had many "PC" clashes in my time, usually with ugly frigid midddle-aged women, which usually end in me saying "f*** off" and walking off in disgust. it's just a total waste of time and effort and unfortunatley like all this modern quasi-legislative claptrap it has become an end in itself. Now I don't set out to offend anyone (ok I do but not every day!) but I don't need a definitive list of what I can and can't say and do, that i can't have pictures of girls up in my office/workshop, that I can't say to some fit bird "u look nice today" and that I can't eat meat because some spl*t *ss b*tch and s*me freak of a veggie* have decided what's a choice for them is therefore good for me and it is a condition of my employment to eat it. Or that I cannot smoke if i choose to, while they are free to choose NOT to smoke?

*not that there's anything wrong with lesbians, they've provided me with many hours of entertainment

enough ranting. what started off as a worthy aim of protecting minorities and subordinates from insults and abuse has turned into a form of abuse and tyranny in itself. now u can advance through an organisation not on the basis of merit or talent but on the basis of being "politically correct" and taking the role of enforcer on urself which has been given an inordinate influence. Pc thugs is the correct term, considering they can sack u for alomost anything, and employment law is now so weak that u'll struggle to get anything from an appeal. it's all wrong, the pendulum has swung too far.

in an effort to resist the creeping shadow of pc, my gaffer and me;

only drink full fat milk, no semi-skimmed p*ss
at least 3 sugars in every cup of tea
12 cups of tea a day usually
no weird herbal teas and nothing foreign
40 cigs a day
no women except as visitors
all women to be referred to as duck, love, sweetheart, darlin, chuck etc etc
no charity collections esp. Comic Relief or Children-in-Need
no taking part in anything remotely "amusing" esp. if it involves dressing up
meat pies become a staple food
custard vanillas and iced fingers are a staple food too
laugh at everyone's bad parking esp. if they are a director

and when the moment is appropriate..

turn the tables on the pc thugs by showing the MD and CEO all the spam that's been going backwards and forwards and how much of it was virus'd or potentially unsafe, and how most of was generated by fools with too much time on their hands except to go around causing problems with their pc catechism. I have myself disposed of at least 1/2 dozen pc "whiners" by demonstrating the amount of time and resource they waste. Hence why normally us IT boys get left alone, most of the older hands know it's not worth the trouble of a confrontation, but there's always new meat for the grist, some idiot who thinks his/her title and some buzz-words and new-age claptrap can prevail against the power of the password.

the one thing i find really annoying about political correctness is
if you hold a door for a woman many now growl at you (non pc) but if you dont people comment how rude you were
solution slam it in thier face ? dont go through a door when women are about?
wait for them to hold it for you?

Christ Taw, that post had tears streaming down my face. Highly ammusing!

i hold a door open for anyone, and if they dont like it tough **** on them
