What is the opposite of 'Politically Correct"? Normal ? Just checking that you understand the meaning of the word opposite.

political correctness and other forms of idiocy are not part of a linear equation
The opposite of all types of stupidity is .................................. normal

My understanding is this;
Right wingers use the PC card to denounce the left.
Left wingers use the Racist card to denounce the right.
Somewhere in the middle lies 'normal' - whatever that is.

I can't work out which is the most radical viewpoint.
Choosing to take offence where none was intended,
or fighting to support something that even supporters don't know why they do it.
I suspect the majority live in the centre ground.

Nor is it black and white. Oh, so it's OK for you to use the term 'black and white' which obviously has racial connotations and must offend various other peoples of different colours as THEY don't get a mention in the phrase. Of course, no-one remembers how the term came about historically so it's all irrelevant and carry on as you were... Now let's go and tear a few Church of England churches down as that lot took part in The Crusades which were also a long time ago and nobody quite remembers what they were all about but it was something about being nasty to other people.

Please can we do this but can we include Catholic Churches as well? Maybe even include some Free Churches.

Do you honestly think that B&W is a racialist term? In your logic, people are being offended by not being included? You are now more PC than me!!!!! What a delicious irony. But I am very pleased to engage in argument so let's keep it friendly and respectful. This is why I enjoy forums.

Quite honestly, if you feel enraged and offended by certain issues, why not just bottle all that anger up until you are around 85 years old and about to snuffit, there's little to lose any more, so you can then unleash the beast in you and go round bashing at everything with your walking stick! That's my plan, anyway.
