The PC thing

[Street Gerbil]

Welcome to the club, Phil!

What are the other Wizard Rules?

I can tell but that would ruin 10 excellent books for you.
Try reading Goodkind's "Wizard's First Rule" and see if you like it. If it's not to your taste, let me know and I'll just post the rest of them.

I am very anti - PC, it drives me crazy,

I'm currently in the UK where the whole PC thing has gone WAY overboard,

Some examples

1. It is considered sexual discrimination if you advertise a full time job position and then dont give it to a female who can only work part time because she has a child. Further on for this, you are unable to discriminate on age, race, religion, situation to the point that most job agencies use lawyers to word their job advertisements.

2. A christian worker in a post office was suspended for three days because a muslim worker complained that the christian worker had a photo of Jesus on his desk and it offended said muslim worker.

3. Muslim doctors are refusing to treat patients with STD's or sexual problems including pregnancy outside of marriage as it is against their religious beliefs.

4. Muslim ASDA workers are refusing to sell alcohol and ciggies to customers as it is against their religious.

5. A uniformed soldier was refused service at a BP petrol station by an Indian worker as the indian worker disagreed wtih the war.

6. A foster child in the care of 2 gay guys was sexually and physically abused by his foster fathers, the child authority services were aware of this and failed to report it as they were to afraid of being accused of sexual discrimiation.

I'm stunned at the level of over-tollerance and power of the majorities in the UK and there are some bits of NZ law that has been brought in that mirrors the beginning of where this came from.

It sucks, if someone is insulted by something i say or do then fuck off.

Rant over

What absolute bloody nonsense the above is.
Give us the specifics.
Where did you get this homo phobic racist crap that you call facts from? The Telegraph ? The Times? The Daily Mail? The BNP? NF, Column 88?
Who are you trying to kid?
I believe you have just proved my point,
Thank you who ever you are.

A wise man once said,
"All it takes for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing".
Now I'm not saying I'm a good man, or that who ever said this was not a wide man rather than a wise man but some things, such as any car with a modified exhaust, should not pass.
They should be challenged or they get away with the crap they espouse as fact.

[slowpoke]

This reminds me of that old axiom about the world changing according to irrational people alone. It goes something like:

A rational person will not seek to change the world and will instead adapt to the world around them. An irrational man is unable to adapt and the world will adapt to them. Therefore world development is largely due to or perpetuated by irrational people.

Looking around, you can't help but agree.....

Agreed.........but the reality is when having a moment such as your having generally i go find a quiet road filled with endless bends,at the end of it i find the worlds madness a distant second to the joy my bikes just given me...generally i get off it,turn it off and just for a bit the worlds pretty fucken good.

In a philosophical mood,
Seems to imply adaption over evolution. Fairly suspect notion I would argue.
Would suggest a CX 500 (reliable, unbreakable, steady) would, via evolution, triumph over the R1.

Maybe so........look at ancient Rome and what happened when it fell.

A thousand years of barbaric stability compared to a CX? I'm loving it
we really are out there on the edge now.
