OK then... I dont know of one person who agrees with a person who is obsessively politically correct, but now in England, its going over the top. Changing the words of the Holy Bible so that 1 person in 5000 doesnt get offended pisses me off immensely, for example how, "Man does not live by bread alone" became "People do not live on bread alone" - Matthew 4:4. or the phrase "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me", attributed to Jesus, is frequently changed to "Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me." This is ruining our society... but now, its getting worse. The phrase "Political Correctness" is a word that has been around in England since the late 70's early 80's. Oxford University Press defines political correctness as "the avoidance of forms of expression or action that exclude, marginalize, or insult certain racial or cultural groups" ... but let me ask you this. Would you consider the timeless classic that is Snow White to be insulting? Well, thats exactly what is happening. Some morons in England have changed the name of the story from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to "Snow White and the Seven Guardians of the Forrest". Oh hold on! Did I forget to mention that they are banning the sale of Christmas goods, such as cards? Well they are! Apparently Christmas doesnt fit in with the "Multi-cultural” Society that we now have in England. These politically correct imbeciles are trying to ban our traditional Christmas because other religions seem to be offended by it. Your views?

If you watch Blue Collar TV on Comedy Central, then Larry's views of the Political Correct Versions of Farie Tales are the same as mine.

I am so sick of hearing about PC. It's so stupid. And it's almost always women who are pissed off about it! You know what? If you want to make the Bible PC, get a time machine and make the writers change it, don't change it now. It's a historical piece of work that shouldn't be changed just to let women in. Next thing they'll want to change the Gettysburg Address '...and dedicated to the proposition that all PEOPLE are created equal'.

Political Correctness is one thing that is ruining this world. It's a bunch of white people thinking they need to change everything to make non-whites happy. WRONG! It pisses non-whites off as well when people have to be retarded like this. Political Correctness is incorrect. It reminds me of something I like to say: If a non-white makes fun of a white: Comedy If a non-white makes frun of a non-white: Comedy If a white makes fun of a white: Comedy If a white makes fun of a non-white: RACIST!!!! Seriously, wtf? It's just getting so out of hand that I want to just slap the shit out of these "we have to be so correct now or the black guy, the woman or the jew will get offended". Guess what, 9 times out of ten....they don't.

Its all fucked up... and Im sad to say that most of it is now started to come from rebellious Muslim teenagers who think they are gangstas.
An Arab kid had the cheek to say "No wonder why we all wana blow you white cunts up" to my Dad a couple of weeks ago.

This is another reason why I really think I was born in the wrong age. Everything is so ridiculous these days... I don't know anything about England, but in the South, it's like what bac said, the racism thing. It's just pathetic. But I always find it's best to not let these sort of things put you down. Keep your head up, and keep on walking. It actually sounds worse in England, though...

It is... our Gov just leaves the gates open for immigrants and asylum seekers, and the tax payer has to pay for them... and Im not joking either.
Housing, food, clothing, money, cars etc etc etc... these are the effects of Tony Blair's Labor Government. We have terrorists living among us, known terrorists, and we cant do anything about them. We cant ship them back to where they came from... and we are still paying their benefit.
£200 out of every £1000 of my wages is tax. That goes to the asylum seekers and the drug addict, lazy, yobs who claim benefit fraudulently.
I want to go back to the days where road signs would be written in English alone and not Punjabi. I want to go back to the days when I could walk past a car without hearing Punjabi MC or some Bollywood soundtrack on full blast.

Yes, it seems that Allah is starting to drive his way into society in the form of political correctness.
And, if that muslim kid had said that to me, I would have most likely punched the little fucker in the face and walked away.

I definetly agree with you on that Ussej! I'd sure use my kendo stick right there to knock him out quick... On second thought, better leave it to the slow and painfull way Anyways, moving on... I find it completly idiotic that these people just imposes their morality to us, who welcomed them to our land with open arms while it is preaty much because of that same morality they got here in the first place... It's like, hellooo!

I completely agree with taking things waaaay over the top, but I have to say something as well to a previous post. Not all of the PC stuff has come from women. It's various races, cultures, religions, etc that don't want anything to be forced upon them.
Let me share a story and it will explain how I completely feel about some issues. A man came to where I worked and demanded we let him into this building. HE didn't believe in Christmas and didn't think that it should have forced the University to close. Well, here's something I'd love to slam in their faces. If they don't believe in God and Jesus, then why don't they just go and protest having Christmas off. I don't see many non-Christians complaining at getting one to two days off from work during a year to spend with family and celebrate something they don't believe in.

One problem with this is...well not the political correctness but what jetzt said...not all muslims walk around in gangs getting money off the country..thats like saying all white people are chavs or all black people are rappers.
