yes agree with all the posts on this so far the PC is getting really silly and is creating more problems than before this well meant system became fashionable.

Taking flags of cars, (i have a Jamaican flag and english in my car, so i wonder who I offend) and black board becoming chalk board is taking things so seriously it just becomes totaly

I was once in a gift shop when behing the counter I noticed they were selling golliwog dolls(for those to young I'll post a pic here if people dont know what they are), I hadnt seen them in ages, so I asked to buy a "golliwog" doll, to which the assistant told me "oh you cant call them that now, they are gollies"
I thought, no there not, the same as Rupert the Bear dolls wont become Ru Bears as the word 'pert' is to sexy for the young.
So I told her "oh really, well I'd still like to buy a golliwog doll if thats ok with you" this (white) woman just looked so shocked.
PC has gone mad and rather than help with abuse its now creating more in that more feel thier being infringed on to what they can do or say.
Its easy keep it real and we will all be safe from being offended.
