Now this is plain PC bollox

I have a letter in front of me from the a well known international organisation. An organisation that my organisation does a considerable amount of business with. The letter comes from their "Human Rights Division". Get a load of this shit:

It's with much dismay that upon reading some of your organisations technical literature.........we feel that the use of the term Master & Slave (Biff - a term used by techies around the world to describe everything from hard drives to servers) is totally inappropriate.......using the terminology "male & female" (Biff - which is used to descibe plubgs ans sockets for fucks sake!) has sexual connotations and does little to reduce the barriers found in many organisations between male and female workers.......we feel that using the term "coloured wires" could incite racial prejudice....

Oh for fucks sake - get a proper job you twats!
It's an American organisation by the way.

All this critisism from a nation who is giving back land to someone who wasn't here when his ancestors lived on it and doesn't even want it for any heritage things but simply becouse it is worth money now and is most likely only 1/25th indigenous. BTW they also kicked someone else off the land when they got here and apparently ate them.

Over PC my foot.

I think you'll find that the PC author is from a country you are very familiar with...

[scumdog]

They've got you sussed for the deviant you are.....

P.C.? A way for weak minorities to inflict their will on the stronger majority...

Well Waylander it does seem that a lot of the over PC crap does come from the good old US of A.

Hi Biff

Go to your local library and ask for 2 books by Bob Jones (no Welsh connections as far as I know ) The first is called "Letters" and the other is called "More Letters" (I think). In case you don't know, Bob is a vey wealthy property developer based in Wellington and has an absolute aversion to political correctness or boofheads in any shape or form. The books are copies of letters which he has written to people who have offended him and they're often published very publically at the time. Worth you going to a bit of effort to find them as they are hugely funny and are a wonderful guide to dealing with twats. I've since tried to emulate him! I have a copy of one of them if you're unsuccessful.

Bob J is also famous for breaking the nose of a TV1 news reporter when aforesaid reporter helicoptered in unannounced to interview him whilst he was indulging in his passion of trout fishing. Quite a guy.
