I am aware I am coming across here as a bit of a killjoy, but I feel very strongly about certain matters. This does not include the light-hearted banter (sometimes very rude) that goes on in this forum, and in the last few posts of this thread. :D

But to clarify: What I have utter disdain for are those people who complain about trivial matters, such as t-shirts with the slogan 'Women: Human female' as it supposedly discriminates against transgender people.

Or complaining about the use of the word 'Woman' on a loo door, as it also supposedly discriminates against transgender people.

Or this ridiculous 'cultural appropriation' trend doing the rounds at the moment.

And stop trying to rewrite history by trying to erase anything historical that doesn't fit into today's PC mantra.

FFS, complain about something that is real, not imagined; equal rights for men and women, equal maternity/paternity rights, judging a person by their actions, not by skin colour, etc. What angers me most is the derogatory name calling or racial slurs against anyone of any colour or persuasion.

These are the important issues, the ones that count. There are problems enough in the world - drugs, slavery, gangs, religion, overpopulation, climate change, etc - which we should be expending our energy on, and trying to make a difference. These are the issues which could make - or break - the human race for all eternity.

Unless you are from Mars, of course, in which case you probably don't care! :laugh:
 
I reckon your right. life is way to easy now days. we are breeding a whole generation of pussys. We need a war or two that actually effects our borders. Lets see what people start complaining about then. Or just as effective, close down Macca's and the internet for a week, then turn off mobile networks. My god, people would have to do the unthinkable, hold a convo with another for more than 30 seconds. Its all great now days, always finger pointing, always someone to blame, always compensation for trivial issues. Yea the Abbos were persicuted by the POMs, sure, and yes, we let in way to many wogs, spiks , slopes etc after WW2. Sure we did. And we allow way to many indians to educate themselves here. Sure we do that also. But look at the result, Australia, a first world country, leader in medicine and free health care, inventers of WIFI, bionic ear, bionic heart, refridgerator, penicilin for human use , the lawn mower and resources in the ground unlike no other. Yet the PC panic brigade is more concerned about whether a trany can have a opp or be both male and female., or if dunnys(toilets) should all be transgender. And the state of Tasmania, has removed the terms MALE or FEMALE from birth certificates.

Lets spend 80 Billion on a NBN fibre network because what else we gonna do with our money. Same idiots who dont realise, we aint france, england, or most Eu countries, when we run cable, we run millions of KM/s of the stuff around a huge continent. These are the voices of the next Gen. Bunch of Galah's .

YEt they still have energy to complain about if a silly AVATAR may offend a race of people that in 60,000 couldnt even invent the wheel. Dreamtime they call it, i reckon they were off their faces smoking the weed for 60, 000 years. I say good on them. If they can get through 60,000 years without Knecking each other then maybe they have the right formula.

Your australian outlook is refreshing, and I don't want to come across as a 'Dag' but don't get banned for using those old slang words and coming across as a belligerent 'bogan', and the graphical stuff, I would have put 'whether a tranny can have an op' we know the score, when the forum in old blighty/pommy land wakes up they'll read this over their breakfast :eek: d'you get ma meaning bruce :thumbsup: you might feel 'devo' if the mods come calling. :D

Ps. I read somewhere that aussies are some of the most keen gamblers on the planet, you call slots games 'pokies' which confused me as I thought they were referring to electronic poker. I use to be fan of the aussie broadcaster clive james, his autobiography of growing up in aus made for good listening. Rolf harris another aussie export, I'm not so keen on, and glad he's of our box for good now. :cheers:
 
Mate your spot on. Did the edit as it may offend the boss. Lol. Fits into post perfect dont ya think. And to add insult to injury. Yes we call slots pokies. And where are the majority of slot machines manufactured for las vegas and Aussie pokie venues . Bloody Queensland. Aristocrat. You can see why our government banned online gaming. They want us to do our nutts playing at home with lousy 84% payout rates. Gotta pay for those pc thought bubbles somehow. Thanks for the heads up.

Hearts of vegas google app store if ya wanna test out our games. Just as tight as the real ones. Will bring any tall poppy down .

Would then that not be cowing to a narrative the mans against and detests?.
Political correctness wants throwing in the rubbish where it belongs.
Just my opinion however...

Its the era of backyard yellers.

What do I mean by this? Before twitter and social media, you remember those grouchy neighbors who would yell at your kids if they stepped on their lawn or complained because your kids were too loud? Or if someone was going a tad fast through the neighborhood? And you remember you would run into them and they would gossip about it and complain or call one of their friends and gossip about it? Or even call the cops and the police would ignore them.

Well with technology these things advance. Instead of having to yell in their back yard or call their gossipy neighbor, they go on twitter and post their rants and how offended they are over everything and tag companies and politicians.

Social media has given the mentally ill, drama queens, social justice warriors, complainers or gossipers a platform to unite and wreak havoc. And because most of the population is fairly normal, we tend to do things with our family, party, sports and other hobbies instead of finding things to complain about.

There is 7.5 billion people on the planet. All it takes is 0.00001% of them to be those annoying drama queen neighbors. And what do you have? Exactly what you are seeing. And even such a small percent of the world can cause so much division and BS because when you add it up its probably a few million out of 7.5 billion.

What happens when people get fed up? France. Electing Donald Trump. Justin Trudeau going from 63% approval rating to 35%. Election of Doug Ford.

If you look on twitter or other social media platforms, the drama queens were up in arms about Doug Ford. Tweeting him non stop trying to pressure him into socialism. He ignored them and followed the advice of others who did actual ground work of what people really wanted to get him elected who werent on twitter. What were the results? The liberals lost their party status and Doug Ford was elected.

You can see people getting fed up everywhere. How long will it last? Hopefully not too long.

In the old days when I first lived in OZ and NZ, the machines were actually video poker. The Pokies name just stuck when they evolved.

I am all for personal choice and everything should be considered on its own merit. Political correctness has a broad spectrum ranging from very valid to the ridiculous.
I can not see how anyone can justify saying political correctness should be thrown in the bin wholesale
