The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Kunt 4 Life]

To be honest I think the majority of this shit happens on twitter with folk having him/her/it on their profile and thinking jk Rowling is the anti Christ, are actually a small minority when compared to real life people

In my last job (short lived thank god) I was told that if I offended someone I would be immediately dismissed. This was regardless of what I said or if I meant to offend.  This is what happens when people do useless degrees with no value on the private market. Either academia or HR.  Then they get to inflict their horseshit on everyone.

Did you get fired when you said you've been working like a 'n word'?

[hellfire]

  I got a good chuckle out of that

Just saw this rather amusing tweet from Peadar Toibin which sums up a lot of the misdirection in the current era:

Ireland locked down for 180 days.
Longer & more severe than any other European country.
1,600 people have died in our Nursing Homes,
Mass unemployment,
Collapse of incomes
Tens of billions of euro of debt.

And FG's Josepha Madigan wants to change the name of the Kerryman paper.

Pity about their irritating sneery tone as I agree with the move. They kind of undermine themselves by being so smug, like children lording it over their opponents. But yeah, it's a reasonable step towards sanity.

Or perhaps a sensible sidestep around insanity...

"Fantastic stuff."

Journalism really is dead as a fucking dodo on both "sides" of the mainstream.

I don't think anyone has ever disputed that.

Could he speak even slower?

I also prefer my newsreaders to at least attempt to look to be nuetral.

Kind of fucks the whole free speech thing. As ridiculous as all of that talk is I don't think it should be banned.

[astfgyl]

I agree. Can't fight for freedom of speech through censorship.

Here is a slightly different take on the current state of affairs from a P.C. of all people. Sort of explains why they like kicking the fuck out of people, all that pent up anguish.

There is a response linked at the bottom which I find less agreeable, too. Interesting to see another perspective which I hadn't considered anyway.

Has anyone like an Ali G style person wanted to be identified as a different race because they identify with them? Is it not the same argument as the gender thing?

Is the question, "What are wiggas?"

Wait, hang on...wha??
