Title: YOU CAN'T SAY THAT! The professionally offended
Post by: Nick on July 21, 2013, 03:21:29 PM
Talked to Apey about this last week. It's the new mantra here.

Someone asks yer opinion. You give it.

they say, "You can't say that."

Yes I bloody can and just did cussing:

I say, "Why not?"

They say, "Well, it might offend a dwarf (or somesuch See also: Turks/Turkish  cussing:)"

Me: What dwarf?

Them: Any dwarf

ME; How do you know

Them: Well a dwarf might find it offensive

And before you know it some fucking hypothetical dwarf is in the room and no one can say the word "short" or "teeny"

 Banghead Banghead Banghead

. . . . . and anything you do say will be taken down and used in evidence used as a basis for calling you some sort of -ist, favourite, of course, being racist.

I find it odd that us indigenous white brits can never be the recipient of racism though . . . .  Just saying like.






(Oh, and in the matter of things PC, may I refer you to my sig line?)

It has gone mad here I agree ....

They have started this stupid Diversity training at our company ... everyone is supposed to have it (I have avoided it like the plague) They claim there is no munny for anything useful yet they take drivers office staff and management out of the operation for 2 hrs at a time an average of around £50 ph.(this includes agency to cover drivers hours)... Headcount  approx. 150 = £15k  Okay doesn't sound too much but....

It is a Transport office not one person in there gives a FF  about Diversity so every penny has been wasted.... need I say more...

On Thursday we will be seeing a solicitor with a view to taking down a couple of professors.  Both Durham and Sheffield Unies will not know what has hit them. Why are we doing this, one of them said (the conversation was taped) something that she really should not have said. eveilgrin:

The mistakes that they have made sine the occasions have been laughingly stupid.  Hello academia come out of your imagined ivory towers and play in the real world.

I think that I need a 'Miss C's evil plan thread.........

Dear Mr Nick

Thank you for your email.

Further to this, Love Every Mouthful is about food and makes no reference to anything sexual. We are passionate about food and think there is no better way of describing this than reminding everyone to Love Every Mouthful of that food.

Kind regards
