I know this has nothing to do with camping/4x4 but was just wondering how far things are going to go with this political correctness rubbish.
now not only are we not allowed to say baa baa black sheep- it's now baa baa
rainbow sheep, then i turn on the tv tonight to be told it's now the cute little penguins instead of the fairy penguins so as not to up set the gay community. which brings up the bigger questions what about
places such as
Port Fairy what is that going to be called and as the reporter said what about the state of 'Queens'land. the list goes on and on.
i don't know how we all/ mostly ended up as sain as we did with growing up with out this rubbish, i still remember the golliwog (and still have it).

Hey
John you came up with a great list of names there.. you can't let that lie down...
I reckon you need to email it to channel 7's today tonight... they'll take it further and do a story on it.. then people will really see how stupid they are into reading rubbish in names that no one even cares about.
I mean if the government always talk about trying to do things right, then your list of names will actually prove how stupid they are being because there is just no end to their 'political correctness' carry on..
Now I myself just take everyone at face value and they are who they are, even if it isn't something I like or agree with, that is there choices and nothing I say is going to change their mind. they live their life I live
mine..
The government cares about offending the gays, aboriginals, blah blah.. I don't see them caring about offending us by our choice of vehicle?

We're living in a lunatic world, take us back to the 70's where you could laugh and joke with the widest selection of politcally incorrect jokes possible,without fear of some bull**it legislation pulling you down! The days that kids played football,reced down the road in wooden billycarts without brakes in stubbies and t-shirts,maybe with the safety of thongs too,rather than playing playstation in the airconditioned lounge!!
We are building a soft society. Traditional careers such as Motor Mech,building,plumber etc are battling to get apprentices as they don't want to actually inconvienience themselves by getting dirty or hot earning a crust.
The whole thing s*its me to tears!!!
Time warp me back to the 70's - i'm keen.
Regards
Greg

My wife still makes Fairy Cakes just like my Mum (only better, but please don't tell my Mum).
If anyone say's they are "Little" cakes I will sue them!! What is the World coming to?
Maybe it is time to line up all the University PC advocates of this pathetic code against a wall and feed them good old fashioned diatribe such as "YOU SAY THOU SHALT NOT, WE SAY WE WILL DAMN WELL WILL"
Unfortunately it will fall on deaf ears as they will need a brain to interpret what "Diatribe" means. (Yes, I admit many interpretations of this word can be relevant, but hey, when you are dealing with swamp life, some things have to be said)
I doubt that any such person on a
forum such as this would would read this anyway but should you fall into this catagory!! Get a LIFE!!!,
And further, leave my Mums's Fairy Cakes alone !!!
