.....it's getting silly isn't it?

[ummmm]

We are going backwards, Pixie, when people can't stand up for themselves without being considered 'woke' or 'snowflakes'

Some people have always been easily offended but we just didn't know about them.

No easily offended person should come into my house. We are horrible....but it's jokes. You have to know your audience though. I wouldn't swear in front of my mum (on purpose)

[pixie374]

Yes... having a different sense of humour, isn't the same as a "snowflake". It's all very lazy.

They've become terms to sling about and label those with different opinions. It's just lazy and doesn't encourage discussion.

You mean like how 'racist' is slung about to label those of differing opinions?

[Peter Pedant]

yes no
the way I read it was that he felt the army / marines were a whites only bastion
and that wasnt the way the authorities viewed it

But only the white ones could be murdering invaders or racist assassins.

[Peter Pedant]

well no
the Selous scouts were 80% african - no I am not speaking from experience

"Some people have always been easily offended but we just didn't know about them."

Yes we did, they were called the PC Brigade or suchlike beyond. This is not a new phenomena.

Not hard to Google this stuff, is it?

In 2013, as a result of a "nightclub bust-up" in Chelmsford, Essex, Middleton was convicted of the unlawful wounding of one police officer, PC Christopher Brooksbank, and common assault upon a second, PC Katherine Alison. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison, of which he served five months.

Knew about them, ignored them. Now we're expected to dance to their pathetic tune.

[ummmm]

No...but the internet has given them a platform. Before the internet people had to write letters to complain; now you can tap it out and send it in minutes.

I don't complain but women should be able to without being called 'woke'

And vice versa for men.

[jackthehat]

Yes, it is.
I think bullies ought to be able to go about their business without their unpleasant activities being constrained or curtailed by their victims.
No-one, ever, ought to be able to complain about being treated unfairly anywhere, be it in the workplace, or a website where your own belligerent behaviour sees you sin-binned for a weekend....
