We all have a coping instinct in which what we say and do unconsciously ‘feeds’ our minds and emotions to hopefully get us the outcome we need to make us feel better.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the more dangerous and unpleasant the world becomes as a whole, the more PC many people become.

Was waiting for the PC term to raise it's head... Oh someone is agreeing with the offended minority when we want the have 'fun' in the name of 'tradition' we best trot out the tired old worn phrases to diminish their opinion.

We're not being intentionally offensive in our lionskin covered in skulls and horns, and if you're offended tuff.
The motto of the bonfire is they won't be 'druv' meaning (to me) however what we do is perceived let it be known we don't care we're doing it anyway.

Isn't that a sorry state of affairs that the more dangerous the world becomes it's seen as a bad thing to want to resolve it in a 'politically correct' way, what's the alternative... Anarchy?....War?.... Segregation?
