Thread: Political correctness gone mad

Book burnings comes to mind, as I mentioned earlier. Another contributor here broke Godwin's Law, which frees me to do so. Hitler was not a big man. He did not have a massive following. what he DID have was the gift of the gab, and a populous greatly downtrodden, with their pride shattered after WWI. He grabbed the disaffected and then turned them against the ones who still had something. He used the idiotic sympathies of the rich and famous of the time for Eugenics as an excuse to imprison Jews, Romanys and Blacks. We all know what he then did with them. Of course, when he was gone, the rich and famous had never heard of Eugenics, let alone endorsed it.

They say that those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I fear that the probably well meaning arguments expressed by some here are evidence of this. It's been 100 years, nearly, since Hitler was gaining power.

I said that directly in relation to someone using the phrase years ago about being a proud gay man to describe yourself as being happy of accomplishing a huge goal. I said I wasn't sure of your age or status as to give you an example of words and phrases that had changed, without making an assumption of your age or status. I did mean sexual status which I did think was obvious from your posts that you are a white heterosexumal male, but just in case you were a proud young gay black man, I wanted to make the point clear. I use the auto spell check and don't always check it so American spelling does turn up

So according to that story, less than 20% of adults in Gen Z (in the US) identify as a large chunk of the alphabet, but 100% of everything has to be gender neutral?

This is were the vocal minority are really getting out of control. The problem is, if the silent majority say anything we are branded homophobes. In the human race there are two genders, yes there are some rare medical mysteries but on a whole you are either male or female at birth.

As a result of the vocal minorities I would say that I am a member of the one of most discriminated against sections of the population at this time. White, Australian (born), Male, Athiest, Hetrosexual of advancing years.
