lolz.. I already commented on that in the song thread. What a joke eh?

They could change the word "gay" to "straight"... i.e. "how straight your life must be".... Now I dont know about you.. but I figure where's the fun in that?

I luv em !

I tell ya I do ! Get a great idea and make it ordinary !

I have to say Sassy most of the time as a little inquisitive being that I am ..... that's another word for nosy ......each time I have looked this stuff up or investigated further its almost always rubbish ! Its made up by the same people that say Muslims dont like christmas decorations ..... I have muslim friends that come to my house for xmas day and have decorations on thier house ! .....fact ....so another yet another rubbish story  (just another thing Muslims in fact recognise Jesus he is a prophet to them) ....... you gotta lurve a good media beat up ..... makes me think about boat people and alike ohhhhh now I feel like home !

Having said all that my children who are very young ......yes I have underlings ..... feel sorry for them ..... sing catch a "fella" by his toe rather than niger .......... I was about 28 before I understood that .....I said feel sorry for them !

Mooka you'd have a few committee stories I am sure ......Military love that gear !

Brae ....nursery rhymes king !

One of the brainless Comentee's on one of the morning shows actually supporting it by saying that the principal didn't want people using the word for bullying. OK so let us take the word out of context and re enforce to the younguns that it's a derogatory word. Sheesh we blame politicians for everything but we're taught by morons! If "gay" means "fun" then a kid taunting another with "geez your gay" is not a bad thing isn't it! Arrgh stop the world I want to get off!!!

How bout we just bend them over the bench and...............

But even that is probably seen as stereotypical gay stuff too isnt it

Time for these numb nuts to grow a brain isn't it!!

I have a cousin in NZ and she works in child care,

They are not allowed to sing Ba Ba Black Sheep, they must sing Ba Ba Rainbow Sheep....hang on, oh no, that is gay! They swapped racism for gay pride, oh deary deary me!

There were some others too, but c'mon now, Ba Ba Black sheep is racist? Socks and wooly jumpers can be rainbow coloured but sheep can't, that is just plain silly.

Looking2try....it really is ridiculous but not always made up did you know that when completing her child care quals, my sister (not cousin this time) was taught that you avoid using negative words like no....

Example "No running inside" becomes "We use our walking feet inside"

She was also taught that using pasta to make things like necklaces etc is not permitted as it is a wasteful use of food, starving children out there you know who could be eating that pasta.

I understand changing rhymes like Eeny meeny miney mo....yes I and my children catch tigers by their toes but black sheep and gay birds? Does this mean I can not Sing a song of sixpence? There are black birds in that rhyme, Can i not Ride a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross?...heaven forbid I sing the word cock YET......

My daughter at 10 years old can attend the school disco and dance to songs like I kissed A girl and Apple Bottom Jeans.

Could bang on all day...it is illegal to smack your child in NZ you know?

There isn't anything except asking a particularly colored sheep if he has any wool, and finding that in fact he has wool for several people including the little boy who lives down the lane. (are there extra verses I don't know about? Where the poor sheep is forced to be shorn up the back of the shed?)

Now I come from a committee family ......... My parents were and still are committee peeps ....... ! On committees and boards all over the shop crazy !I regularly blame my parents for some silly political correctness ! Annnnnnnd my folks where in childcare frack me !

Classic the rule enforced that childcare workers should pop on a fluro jaket if picking up kids from a school ! Not politically correct but very silly ! I think one of my mums rules ....?????????

Yes lots are still made up, many times but silly silly well meaning people. Classic is amoungst the aboriginal communities where well meaning whities make up rules that make the local scratch thier heads.

Did anyone anywhere ever really get upset by said black sheep being black .......

Is it possible modern teachers dont understand nor care about the correct use of the word "gay" faaaaaarck yes!

I love the smacking debate ! I once smacked my child on the bum outside a shop in Newtown , the young mum inside stared and glared at me ....... I said can I help you ....... stared and shook her head ........ I walked up to her a calmly said to her "when your kids in jail because they never had any discipline and my kids the president of Australia I will make sure they look after prisoners !

Bye for now, search the truth and for god sake don't believe the TV ....... Find the truth yourself !

Brae

your on the ball there Brae

PC is crap

like other stupid american ideas...the best thing we can do is ignore it and remember we are aussies.

and yes we know what a joke is :)

i laugh at silliness like "not smacking your child" and figure 'chris issac doesnt have a sence of humor"

and still my abo mate still calls himself Midnight..who will arrest him?

speak up against stupid laws before its too late..

Yes, Letsgocrazy09,  it all started when poor old Enid Blytons characters were declared politically incorrect, Noddy, Big Ears, Golliwog, but the funniest of all was the scathing remarks because "Noddy, woke up feeling as little queer", I reread the books but up until now have not been able to ascertain which of his friends was the "Little Queer".

Humphrey B Bear was removed cause he didnt speak or wear pants....

Dick and Fanny in Enid Blytons fab series The Faraway Tree have had name changes also...

I misss the Golliwogs...sigh....

Teachers are not supposed to put their arms around a child even if they are crying (you try telling that to a 5yr old) especially if said teacher is male - no wonder they cant get many male teachers

anyone remember when the 'fairy' penguins had to be called the 'little' penguins?

also there was a sook about a dawf miniture pony. because call a pony a dawf is offencive apparently

Sassy, the do gooders have changed the way of the world..I am not feeling myself today !  But i did last night !

Ha ha Taipan. Too true. When in public you can prick your finger but not finger your prick. It is all in the order of things.

They banned Noddy and BigEars for a while as well because they were a homosexual couple and BigEars was a touch cruel to Noddy.

Even our teen daughter was shocked when we heard this playing at a primary school last week...

Blah Blah Blah lyrics
Songwriters: Foreman, Sean; Hitch, Neon; Levin, Benjamin; Sebert, Kesha Rose;

Coming out your mouth with your blah, blah, blah
Zip your lips like a padlock
And meet me in the back
With the jack and the jukebox

I don't really care where you live at
Just turn around, boy, let me hit that
Don't be a little bitch with your chit chat
Just show me where your dick's at

Music starts, listen hot stuff
I'm in love with this song
So just hush, baby, shut up
Heard enough

Stop, talk, talk, talking that blah, blah, blah
Think you'll be getting this? Nah, nah, nah
Not in the back of my car, ah, ah
If you keep talking that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Boy, come on, give me rock stuff
Come put a little love it my glove bag
I wanna dance with no pants on
Meet me in the back with the jack and the jukebox

So cut to the chase kid
'Cause I know you don't care what my middle name is
I wanna be naked and you're wasted

Music's up, listen hot stuff
I'm in love with this song
So just hush, baby, shut up
Heard enough

Stop talk, talk, talking that blah, blah, blah
Think you'll be getting this? Nah, nah, nah
Not in the back of my car, ah, ah
If you keep talking that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

You be delaying, you're always saying some shit
You say I'm playing, I'm never laying the dick
Saying blah, blah, blah 'cause I don't care who you are in this bar
It only matters who I am

Stop talk, talk, talking that blah, blah, blah
Think you'll be getting this? Nah, nah, nah
Not in the back of my car, ah, ah
If you keep talking that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah
Think you'll be getting this? Nah, nah, nah
Not in the back of my car, ah, ah
If you keep talking that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah

Blah, blah, blah
Stop talking
Stop talk, talk talking that

Lmfao......

I saw the same story and following interview with the school principal

who all but had to eat his words following the best interview Ive seen

from those banal morning TV show presenters.

I'd love to round up all fans of political correctness and subject them

to 72 hours of clockwork orange & a few eps of The Twilight zone while

hooked up to a IV of laxitives.

Bloody twits...gawd....

does anyone care that Stephanie Rice said something like "suck on that faggots!!" on her twitter account? I get that it isn't something you'd probably broadcast out there as a heavily sponsored athlete... but I'm not outraged by it.

I cared....albeit for est: 30 nanoseconds. For a reasonably well known

athlete, sponsored by the public purse (initially) to demonstrate she

has the intellect of a kitkat and a puerile vocabulary is shameful.

I hope she loses whatever sponsorship she has & never represents

Australia for anything at any stage.

Lips, I am now confused, in one reply you rip into the Principal for his PC stance then in the next you are showing the same PC traits as the Principal in relation to Ms Rice.

I actually feel sorry for Rice, if Ian Roberts hadn't got on his high horse, no one would have known and more to the point, no one would have cared.

From the way I see it, PC is due to the apathy of the majority in letting a very small minority dictate their own personal paradigms and views to boost their own self worth.  If the silent majority, that is the 99.99999% of the population actually stood up and told these minorities to deal with it, this country would be in a lot better shape.  In fact I belong to the most pursecuted group in Australia - the middle aged white male.  I can't say anything to anyone in case it is take the wrong way, yet can be soundly abused by everyone with them knowing I can't respond - it sucks!

the two. Its like comparing apples to oranges. One is a highly

offensive aggressive slur made by a prominant tax payer funded

national sporting representative in a very public forum and the other

some poor unenlightened principal who openly admitted his actions

were totally inappropriate & who only came under public scrutiny

by chance.

I also disagree with your comment regarding middle aged white

males being the most persecuted group in Australia. Unless, of

course, you are referring to the fact that 'poor unenlightened

principal' is white, middle aged &...male. In which case its a clear

case of 'no shit sherlock' LOL.
