Thats not what I meant. Maybe there was no more thought behind his decision than to make money. You act like it was some grand gesture. Maybe it wasnt?

No, on the contrary, I'm not saying it was a grand gesture for him to do that.

I'm saying there was no grand gesture to "not" do it, if you understand.

He never made any politcal or any anti-Christian stand.

He lives here, and he just goes about his business and fully accepts that we all have different cultures.

It wouldnt be very smart of him to make an Anti-Christian stand in this country. My point is maybe money is all there is to it. He made no religious stand simply becasue it would have gotten in the way of making money .

I see your point, and I'm at a slight advantage, having known the man for several years.

But, I think he represents the majority of Muslim people in this country. Some news reports would have us believe "they are coming to take over the UK", but like I said before, I'm not buying that. All of the muslim families I know (which, admittedly is not a huge amount) are perfectly ordinary law-abiding citizens who have no desire to change anything about the UK.

I think news reports blowing things out of proportion are very dangerous to be honest. And getting back to the original point of this topic, I think Political Correctness is fine when it's used right alongside common sense. I also think it's unwise to assume someone will be offended when half the time they clearly are not.

LOL

How many is that exactly?

well in some places they are not allowed to show the english flag becuse it comes form the crusade cross and the crusade of england killed millions of jews and muslims and that is why the united kindom flag is shown more that the english flag manily becuse of history hunderds of years ago, so theres your info :dance2:

There are quite a lot of examples of PC gone mad. Many schools across the country are now calling history his'n'herstory. I don't think women are ever going to complain that it is called history, but now it is called his'n'herstory it has brought an uneccesary light on the situation. PC causes more harm than good IMO.

Sorry ... you can't spell "becuse" twice and then add a :dance2: in the same post... it is way too funny

Firstly are you saying the police systematically remove the English flag on the grounds of racism.... that's ridiculous. Police aren't in the business of enforcing political correctness. Here's your guide... if a policeman is enforcing something that you deem "political correctness" then your probably talking about something for which a law already exists...eg racial hate crimes, freedom of religion and freedom to not have other peoples religion forced down your neck etc.... and your just confusing their motive to lessen the accusation of you being a racist. Good luck with that.
Second.. he provided no link.
Third.. if the police stopped a guy for being drunk and probably leaning half way out of a car then that's what he got charged for ... not "becuse" he had the flag in his hand too.
Fourth Andy says the police put forward the reasoning for warning the guy was due it being "politically incorrect" and may be seen to be racist. lol...Why would they even bother with any explanation given that they have the guy on being a drunken fool screaming and half hanging out of a moving car. The Police didn't give any such "political correctness" reasoning.... andy made that part up.

Lastly
"that is why the united kindom flag is shown more that the english flag manily becuse of history hunderds of years ago"

Rubbish ... your saying the british flag is shown more than the English flag due to political correctness and the need to not offend those that suffered in the crusades. hehe OMG.... your hilarious, you hate foreigners so much that you make up reasons to get angry about. You ought to take a tip from Andyman. Just bounce from one hopeless example to another. When it falls to pieces just ignore any logic and with a single sentences move on to yet another fantasy example he's being storing away in his head.

yeah I agree ...
We all know that political correctness can get crazy but half the stories are just made up. And honestly I could give a monkey's. I mean who gets "enraged!!" about "policeman" versus "policeperson" or whatever. Besides A lot of this stuff is reverting back to the normal names anyway.
Then there are stories of political correctness that come from Andyman that are rooted in racism. Funny how many of his politcal correctness examples revolve around black and asians brits.

name calling?...to categories as "name calling" someone who accuses you of racism and fear mongering is amazing. Try reporting it and see how far you get hehe.

.. and try to talk of rules when you got a warning from admin for calling people " sick, twisted and stupid" less than 3 days ago... wow. Pot ... kettle.

In some places? Where are these mysterious places you speak of? That's not info, that's just you saying things... at the best of times.

I've never once encountered anything "PC gone mad!" in this country ever. Never have I known anyone been made to take down an England flag, to change the name of Christmas, to avoid the word 'black'. Literally never.

The only place we hear of these things are in the media and there is a reason for this.

Sorry if Ive offended you in anyway (you being such a sensitive soul n all who wouldnt dream of doing such things) Its just that you dont think about anything you say or have any serious evidence to back it up and what you say is spreading ignorance and fear which is dangerous. I was particularly annoyed about a comment you made about people with mental health problems commiting crimes as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about!

Political correctness is real of course it is. Its intentions are good and if people go a bit far with it on rare occasions there is no real harm done. It is the papers and hate mongerers who twist things to make it sound like political correctness has gone mad when it really hasnt at all. THERE IS NOWHERE THAT HAS CHANGED THE NAME OF THE XMAS TREE TO WINTER TREE! Sorry for capitals but that point has not been recognised! I didnt say you are part of the BNP that was a joke about you being on the mailing list, because its people like them and The Daily "hate" Mail that come out with this crap and you dont seem to be able to provide us with the links to your stories!

Lol@the crusades! what century are we in? I always thought that it was frowned upon during the NF days because thats what they went round doing. But times have moved on since then.

Is it just me, or is anyone else sick of the term "political correctness"? People use this every three seconds. It's overplayed and getting annoying!

Well thats not very politicaly correct :bigsmile:

Also "nanny state" ties in with this...

6000 school closed due to snow? A bit of snow!!!!

... Nanny state.. :bored:

LOL yes its stupid.
And this was last used at Christmas time :spin2:
