  Political Correctness

  by snugglebunny in

  i think i'm just ornery when it comes to equality.

  ever since i can remember, i've always believed that all people were created equal.

  the colour of a person's skin is irrelevent to me.

  It’s funny how PC changes over the years. I have a female friend in her early eighties who won’t call black people “black”. In her day that was like calling a black person a nigger, so she uses “coloured” instead as that was the PC word when she was young. I agree that there are many cases where PC has gone too far, in some cases absurdly so, but that doesn’t make the fundamental principles of PC invalid (which I think was OC's point). As with most things there are always going to be dick heads who will go to extremes, and in the PC cases it’s likely because they want to show-off how liberal and fair minded they are.

  In a similar vein, I despise the way you cannot criticise Israel without being accused of being anti-Semitic, or say that you can’t stand Louie Spence without being accused of being homophobic, or say you can’t stand the Indian caste culture without being accused of being racist.

  When I woke up to the result last Friday morning I wondered how long it would be before the Leave voters would regret their decision when the promises fail to materialise and the price of Brexit comes to their doors. Well it didn’t take long, but for different reasons. It would appear that some Brexit cretins thought they were voting for migrants to Leave the UK rather than the UK to leave the EU, so quite a few examples of racial hatred have resulted as many migrants have been told to “f**k off back to your own country, cos we voted to get our country back”. One voter said she now bitterly regrets voting Leave because of this. I have no doubt that many more will live to have similar regrets – this was far too important a matter to use it to send a protest vote to the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, but many did just that.

  As the Boris/Farage campaign was based on half truths and lies it was clear to anyone with even half a brain that the £350 million could not be spent on the NHS, for they had already promised that all currently EU supported sectors would continue to receive that support (that way they could appease the farmers etc who rely heavily on EU funding). And anyway, we know only too well from experience that even if the Tories had extra money in the coffers, their first priority would be tax cuts for the rich, with the NHS a long was down the list.

  However, what I want to know is this, how does all this fit in with the King of the North v King of the South prophecy? Especially as we could be heading for an Anglo-American World Power headed by a pair of buffoons.

  It is a loadabollocks, but it's an amusing loadabollocks. Back in the day we used to say that we didn't interpet the bible, we just accepted it as it is. I'm waiting for the next JW I meet to come out with something like that just so I can ask them what's their take on Matt24:34?

  Any thought behind your " Avatar"

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i think that's the correct phrase?

  anyway when i first came here, that little picture that "the rebel" hides behind, was a self portrait of a very sad man, who simply had too much knowledge.

  now i feel after 7 months here, i should repaint that " avetor" give some happiness to the eyes, and a contented smile to the lips.. in short my " avetor" was a self portrait of a man with too much knowledge.

  gravity waves sound like a special kind of sound, so is this another lucky hit in the otherwise discredited bible?

  gen i: 3,6,9,"said" like in acoustics?

  note the subject area, and be objective.

  Not exactly a book, but in 1935 there was the 64 page booklet called "Universal War Near".

  It opened with the words, "Great events have heretofore come to pass which involved many nations. In the very near future a far greater event will come to pass and which will involve the entire universe. The war of 1914 was the greatest war up to that time. The universal war that is near will be far more stupendous, and only a few persons, comparatively, will survive."

  I meant "32 page bi-weekly" in the previous post. Although I am English, and in my 60s, I still live in hope that one day I'll be able to write the blooming language properly!

  "Its just money they are trying to save"

  I understand that pepperheart, as far as hard copies are concerned. But it doesn't cost anything to produce on-line magazines, at least, not much when the labour is virtually free. There is an up side to this for the average dub, they don't have to spend countless hours reading all that mind-numbing stuff the old 32-page bi-mothly magazines used to contain. I remember it being a real trial keeping up with the magazines when I was in, back in the 70s. No sooner had you managed to wade through one pair, when other pair would appear. Of course that was in the days when we used to sell the stuff, so naturally they would produce them by the lorry load.
