Just found this blog by a guy. A lot to read, but he does seem to hate the PC issue it seems.

Quote:
"So just for the record chaps, I am not a racist, just a realist. I see the world as it is and not as you do, through the rose tinted spectacles of how you would like it to be. Also I don't hate anyone (although I do get close with PC brained idiots like you). I just believe in free speech and think that if we are ever to solve our country's problems then ALL points of view must be heard - not just your 'left wing' received wisdom. If you don't agree with somebody's point of view then defeat it with argument, not by screaming racist (or other 'ist') at them or by banning them or trying to ban them from speaking."


Quote:
I also think that everyone should be treated the same and get on through their own merits, not just because they belong to one of your 'favoured minority groups'. Discrimination is still discrimination even when it is termed 'positive discrimination'. The person who is best qualified for the job should get the job - not someone who just meets some left wing 'quota'. This type of stupidity is largely to blame for the degeneration of our society - particularly in the public sector - as no one has the necessary ability to do the job they have.

Personally I cant say I blame him. From my experience, PC has more to do with a few feeling good about themselves than actually changing anyones life for the better.

Have a read, you might find it interesting. Love him or loathe him, he isn't claiming the fifth.

Priest interviewed about 'race hate'

A Priest has been interviewed by police on suspicion of inciting racial hatred for expressing his Christian views in his parish newsletter. Father John Hayes, 71, was quizzed for more than an hour after commenting on the case of a Muslim girl who went to court over her wish to wear a full veil in class.

A sergeant and community support officer turned up without warning at his presbytery after an allegation was made to a Scotland Yard �hate crimes� unit. They said they had come to see if he had intended to incite racial hatred. the priest said. �I was pretty surprised. It seemed to me that political correctness had gone haywire in this situation.

A source at the Metropolitan Police Federation, which represents rank and file officers, said: �What happened is a gross error of judgment and possibly even an abuse of power. �The senior officer who decided on this course of action should be account. �It is yet another example of the political correctness which is blighting the Met. It is plain bonkers.�

The only real 'hate crime' is actually committed by the PC Brigade and it is the hate of free speech!




It is now an interesting place we live in. Its so stupid you have to laugh about it.

Could you explain yourself a little better? Confused Are you being sarcastic? Do you agree that PC isn't the begin and end all of our lives? I am missing the point it seems.
