Bigmart made a comment in one of the "licencing" threads that I have a great deal of sympathy with! (shock, horror).
He mentioned political correctness - the doing away with (to paraphrase). It struck a chord.
There have been a number of times recently (and they're on the increase) when we've been discussing some topic or other (both saily and non-saily) where I've wanted to make a point but have been unable to write down what I actually think for fear of political correctness.
Now, I STRESS, I'm not talking about a comment designed to inflame, be aggressive or rude. Just normal stuff. In fact, I find I cannot give you examples for the very same reason. So, two questions:
Does anyone else feel like this?
What can we do about this cancer which is becoming a bar to free communication in all walks of life?
Yours, getting ready to duck again
