    Default Perfect Definition - Political Correctness

    Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered
    by a delusional, illogical minority, and
    rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous
    mainstream media, which holds forth the
    proposition that it it entirely possible to
    pick up a ???? by the clean end.

    Dear Barry,

    That is well put. The role of the media is paramount in it all - they pitch the "politically correct" (but obviously insane and certainly in minority) side of the argument with equal (or even greater) airtime to that of the more traditional view. The net result - the traditional view proponents pulls their heads in for fear of being "mobbed" by throngs of "correcteys", or from thinking that because their view is so common, someone else will be bound to stand up and fight for it. Usually doesn't happen, though (At least not here. Does in the U.S. - gotta hand it to them!). Eventually, some old champ from a church will stand up and say something, and the media are all over him - hand-picking the worst photos of him and everything... All the while, Australia is becoming less and less "Australian", in not-so-small degrees...

    Best Wishes,
    Batpig.

    Default re political correctness.

    Gentlemen,

    We are headed for doom, same as the americans and all that rubbish.

    I have started a subversion campaign:

    Say hello to strangers in the street,
    Do not take crap from kids misbehaving on buses/trains on the street..
    ask people how old they are ..etc..



    fight back or we will be over run by the plastic clones from planet zargon

    re run "Cranky old men" for the kids weekly..!
    Working on inserting a bit more eccentricity into the bearings of life

    to reverse 'Political Correctness' is costing the Bush Administration 1.2 billion dollars a year.

    I pointed out to my son that his orders to the 'troops' were barely heard by the guard standing on the other side of the monument during the Anzac Day ceremony. He (and 2 of his friends) answered me (who knows B A about life), 'You can't yell at the troops any more.'

    I ask what will happen to people like that sergeant in 'An Officer and a Gentleman'?
