Jumping back on the bandwagon but..

so should we knife them then?
to get respec you gotta give respec

time for a sig change

where not allowed to say toilet at work its now a room of comfort

Northumbria Uni by any chance? i also work for them there disability awareness training is PC gone mad

room of comfort dunno about comfort i dont sit there having a cup of tea reading the times,

she said it was offensive to people in wheel chairs who could not use the toilet properly

she actually give us a book on it as well of what we can and cant say

How is saying you are going to the toilet to someone in a wheelchair offensive though? Do people in wheelchairs have any say in this? I bet they are more offended with people calling a toilet that as it is different to what everyone else calls it!

toilet?????? I give in I can't possibly see what's wrong with that. That's like not being able to say 'legs' or 'walk' or 'dance' to someone in a wheelchair.

Are you not allowed to say the word "stairs" because they cant go up them?

What a joke, I'd say toilet anyway. If they tell you off say you feel uncomfortable calling it the room of comfort when you find very little comfort in going in a room where other people piss and shit!

Working class factory workers love all the pc gone mad stuff. It winds me up at work sometimes.

When I look at the metro paper on the mornnig I know exactly what headlines someones gonna start going on about. It's usually the story about how an ethnic has gotten away with a crime that a white person wouldn't of.

haha

A good one from the other day;
The headline on the front page was "babys turned away from hospitals". Someone immediatley looked at it and said "ya nah the best way to solve that problem? kick arl the coons out of the country, job done"

I then started explaining to him that if you kicked out all the foreigners then the nhs would be fucked as they employ quite alot of foreign workers. He wasn't having it like!


It's got to a point where I just disagree with everything they say just so I can argue about it.

He built the alan partridge character around these cliches, they are now 10x worse with this new wave of PC bullshit!

Fucking hell, I thought it was just me that had those kind of debates at work. I've named part of the table in the meeting room as biggits corner.

They keep telling me I'm too young to realise and i should wait ten years and I'll be saying the same things.

A nah, I got ripped cos im going to malaysia by some of them. "why on earth would you wanna go there?"
Some refuse to go on holiday because they dont like the culture, this is coming from someone who's only been to spanish resorts. as if you go there and experience any kind of foreign culture when it's full of english people.

This is the best, shaun who went on about the fusion conspiracy refuses to eat indian food because he doesnt like indians. He's proud of the fact hes never eaten an indian curry, not even an asda one which isnt even made by an indian.

care to elaborate?
