I know nobody here probably means any offence but could we please refrain from using the expression Jap on the forum. I've worked beside Japanese people for a bit and it's not liked. J-spec or Japanese takes a bit longer to type but it's nicer.

Get real-making ridiculous comments like that only create problems where there aren't any.

Get a life.

Mr Hood.....

don't be an a***hole.

Seconded! Thirded ... or whatever ...

 

I agree, Political Correctness is like a plague ... and it only serves to emphasise divisions that, often, no-one had given a second thought previously.

Agree with you...I grew up playing with golliwogs as they were my mum's from HER childhood and not once did I equate them with "black people" as so many people do today.

 

Trouble with children's "politcial correctness" is that the adults see the supposed corruption, the children see the toy.

 

I always remember one of the Creature Comfort ads that Nick Park did with the Orangs in - they were discussing the fact that the teenage daughter of one of them always wanted her jeans washing NOW etc...and the various merits or de-merits of having teenage children....

 

There were 17 complaints about this saying that it showed "black people" in a derogatory fashion......I mean...a-bluh?? :confused:

 

HOW???

 

World gone mad....

Unfortunately the world has gone mad. Where can we complain about the people who are complaining 'coz I'd like to lodge one please?

America will listen to you. ;) Sue for mental stress or something. :D

 

Let's face it, they funded the project to see what substances affect spider brains and their construction of webs under same... :D
