    The PC thing

    OK, That's just about hit the last nerve I have left.
    I am so sick of people justifying their actions in this way. I pride myself I'm a tolerant bloke. I can wait half an hour for a coffee, put up with non indicating car drivers, even my boss, but:
    So you can't hit your kids. your wife, your husband, your grandparents, your dog.
    You can own a shotgun, but not a semi, a pistol or a bloody bazooka.
    Taxes are a pain but how else do we pay for the services we expect, hospitals, education, roads.
    I hear so many labels, nanny state, communist, Blah, blah, blah.
    The point about the poeple who cry PC whenever they don't agree with something is that they attempt to destroy debate.
    They assume they are right. In the face of contradicting evidence they assert thier supramacy of thought.
    They advance the herd mentality of "common sense" and hold it to be the ultimate truth.. I think for myself and try to be as informed as possible.
    The PC cry is one that stifles informed debate.
    If you want to hit your kids, buy a semi automatic, whatever, fine. But put up an argument, not just rhetoric,or shut the fuck up.

    No, you shut the fuck up.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I don't get it. Are you for or against? That may be a useful starting point. At this time of night I'm happy to take a contrary view against anything you put forward.

    Arguing is, afterall, vastly more sophisticated than merely having the last word.

    Tonight, tonight., angry, angry. Thank dog for this forum. Otherwise I have no idea what I would do.
    But seriously, I'm so pissed off with the lack of debate. We can all take a contrary view but to simply label any opposing view as PC drains my nuts.
    As bikers we have enough prejudicial and stigmatizing views directed against us, why would we want to promote more?: 2guns:

    Ok, so what's the problem with your PC again? First of all, take it apart, clean all the connectors with alcohol and put it back together.

Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

    Well, this is a strange one *sidles quietly out and eases the door closed*
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Okay, so I vote this one the troll of the month...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Cheers Street Gerbil.
    Just laughed out loud for the first time today. No problem with my PC and am at this moment cleaning it with alcohol.
    What are the other Wizard Rules?
