Yes the lefty brigade has gone over the top.One good thing..political correctness is not the law..you can go against it..I do.I'm politically incorrect and proud of it.
I will NEVER call a woman Ms..she is either Miss or Mrs.
I call a fireman a fireman,a firewoman a firewoman.
I hate the word 'chairperson.'
If enough of us rebel against it..it will soon peter out.
A reasonable smack teaches a child a lesson, he will learn not to be naughty.You can't reason with young children..spare the rod and spoil the child.
Remember..no-one is condoning the physical abuse of children.
common sense should tell anyone were the line is.
Kids in school should n't be shouted at in case it traumatises them..diddums.You must not hit a burglar who is threatening you in your own house..it violates HIS human rights.
Criminals are caught on camera..in the process of commiting a crime,but their faces must n't be shown on TV or on posters.Why??...you've got it ..it violates their human rights.Pretty soon it will be illegal to jail murderers as it will violate their human rights to be free.
WE MUST NOT LET THIS FARCE GET OUT OF HAND!!!! |

I am of the opinion that yes, PC has definitely gone too far - it almost verges on oppression sometimes - I certainly think that parents should be allowed to punish their children how they wish - as long as it is done with love - not malice. |

Common sense has definitely left the building. We are in a state of idiocy with all this 'political correctness'.
Things will get a lot worse before the PC crew realise what they are doing to us and we go back to the good old days. |

political corectness, health and safety call it what you will, we cannot use common sense anymore. this is what it boils down to.
you can be attacked by a thug, but if you hurt him more than he hurts you, you are punished.
we can't use common sense, and common sense is not being applied to the carrying out of guidlines. |

in a word yes,
it's not just the pc brigade but the human rights lot too,
this country is going to the dogs
cuddling a kid who is upset or distressed is human nature.
these people need to get a life!! |

Common sense has as you said flown out the window. Every time I look at the newspaper there is another story about something riduclous that has just been brought in as a law or a change in the way things are done e.g.:
Not allowed to play tag
Not allowed to play conckers
Not allowed to say black board (it is black, it is a board - so what)
WI not allowed to bake a cake for old peoples' home'
Pubs not allowed to microwave jars of baby food
The list is endless and it makes my blood boil. We are truely not allowed to use our common sense or allow our kids to grow up in a sensible way.
How to make it stop though? |

Common sense has flown out of the window. You can't do anything for fear of the health and safety police coming and getting you. I read that someone suggested cutting down palm trees in Torquay in case they were blown over in a storm! That is utter madness and they have been there for years. What, do we cut down all trees in public places or put a fence around them? It's not child abuse to put belts as restraints on children especially when they are in the pram during shopping, because little ones like to lean foward and try to take things off the shelf. We can't do anything now and I'd say a cake baked by the WI would be cleaner than some of our MRSA infected hospitals. Councils say they won't put up Christmas decorations for fear of them falling down, but I can't recall an accident being reported in any national paper. What about calling Christmas a Winter Festival for fear of offending other religions? This is a national holiday celebrated for years and the UK is a Christian country, so how dare they try to rename it! Bonfires being banned on Guy Fawkes' night, lessons on how to put things correctly on your desk and drug addicts saying it's wrong for them not to be allowed drugs in prison and being allowed to sue! It's utter madness nowadays and the government has created a society which is far too PC. |

Yes it's gone too far. You can barely move without being told you're doing it wrong. I'm all for human rights but ridiculous civil liberties are eroding basic freedoms (which is actually contradictory if you think about it) and I have to wonder when we'll all get fed up and start fighting back? |

Yes mate - fully concur - but if some evil little s*d thinks he can get away with anything within my arm reach - he'd better think again - because law or not he'll wear a thick ear. |

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. Because of political correctness I can not give my opinion in fear that I may offend someone if they don't agree with me! |

I'd love to give you an honest heartfelt answer, but I'm afraid to in case some "Bloody Stupid Idiot Semi-Sapient Brain Dead Interfering Nincompoop" gets "offended". Or, worse still, gets "offended" on behalf of some other so-called "disadvantaged person" or "community". |

Yes its all going pear shaped. We no longer know where to draw the line. Don't do this you can't do that.
Whatever happened to living in a free country ( and I don't mean all the spongers that are here either!!!) |

You don't live in the UK you have to survive.
Yes this rotten government has got its priorities wrong.
Kids are taught to be disrespectful & the government bought in ASBO's so most kids want one.
The kids have too many rights & cannot be reprimanded when needed.
Teachers are not allowed to control their classes & have to stand terrible abuse.
children kill toddlers by beating with sticks on railway tracks & get given different identities & are let out of secure homesf |

Yeah it's absolutely ridiculous.
But why let it affect you ?
Use your best moral judgement to be the best person you can. |

When you have to ask for coffee without milk and in schools English as a second language is on the curriculum,and step over some screaming kid in a supermarket whilst its mother is reasoning with it to behave you have to ask that question.The p.c. brigade need to get a grip on life and reality and give us all some peace. |

I believe we have let PC go too far, but we have only ourselves to blame. We elect the politicians that allow these rules to be implemented and become law. What we need is, a "Common Sense" party. which will not have any of our current bunch of vote seekers.
We need REAL leaders, who are not afraid of saying what needs to be said and not cowards that will dress their words in "Political Correctness." Say it as is; then there is no doubt left in the meaning.
What this current government have introduced, is (to use that awfull expression) spin. That way, the cowards can put what ever meaning they wish. They make my brain hurt. |

In addition to your other answers, I have noticed that this Government has passed many new laws with regard to regulation.
Two examples - the Police can't have a quiet 'off the record' chat with someone as they once could, it all has to go down on a form, thus creating more paperwork, time, and 'formalising' everything. Why not just trust them to use their own discretion, and bring to book the very few that abuse this?
Farmers now have to have a 'farm plan'. What's the point? What happens if a farmer changes his plans? More time-wasting form-filling. One farmer applied for a permit of some kind and found himself with 19 pages of forms to complete! Why not just let people get on with their jobs?
Then there's Europe, all those silly new laws... the Telegraph has a whole page about them every weekend. Example - it has come to light that there is lead in pipe organs. Shock horror! Lead is bad. We must ban it. Cue small manufacturers put out of business; churches can't get their organs repaired. Has anyone stopped to think how this nonsensical law is affecting us? Is it in fact necessary or even desirable to protect us from the hazard that is lead in pipe organs?
It would all be funny if it wasn't such a bl**dy crime. |

What ever happened to freedom of speech in this Country?
It wont be before long to you need a soliciter with you at all times so they can tell what to say and do! Like these things:
1.Not allowed to wave the Union Jack
2.Not allowed to wave the English flag.
3.Banning Mother's day cards, so it doesn't offend kids who don't have mums.
4.Banning hot cross-buns so it doesn't offend Muslims.
5.Changing the nursery ryhme Baa-Baa Black sheep to Rainbow sheep.
Just makes you think is it worth living anymore. |

Couldn't agree more with you! Most of the PC rubbish is nonsense. Some of it is needed, but most well... yeah. |
