I am sure their employers would give them "guidance" as to what they say!!!:bat:

Well I don't know about you people, but some Scottish people are very hard to understand. Even my wife, who is from a Scottish background has trouble getting he jist of what some of them are saying.

Simply taking the mickey out of someone used to be "just for a laugh". Now you can't say or do anything without someone being offended by it.

I think I may have just offended someone:o

Hello Chenz,

The ABC LateLine show tonight is investigating whether Political Correctness has gone too far.

No offense taken ;)

The obvious answer is yes. If a bloke like Donald Trump can get the kind of traction he is getting simply for "saying what everyone else is too scared to say" then I think the answer is clear

Not that I support him or his views but I think people are sick and tired of listening to spin and procrastination on what pro-ports to be a policy on anything but is invariably just a cobbled together motherhood statement.

The "I want to have a baby" sketch from The Life of Brian pretty well sums it up.

Hello Chenz,

I see your Monty Python and I raise you one - "help - help I am being repressed" :p

While we're on the subject of Monty Python. I believe it was John Cleese who said "No one has the right Not to be offended."
I agree. To say "I'm offended is an oppressive act."

I was talking to Abaddonxi yesterday and he said he had been doing some proof-reading for the on-line news page, Matilda. They weren't happy with all his corrections. :D

Say hi to Simon from me, next time you converse, please Ron.
