Dudes.......like chill out man.

I presume (possibly incorrectly) that this is irony and as such would demonstrate that we have indeed moved on from the previously mentioned decades.

Remember the outrage caused by the 'aids' edition of brass eye?

Another case of scooterings " it don't apply to me Guv" attitude?

I think it's meant to be taken in jest and is in effect highlighting the issue....no

anyway made me smirk
"well M'Lud, it was purely written on jest!"

"Oh thats Ok then learned Council- case dismissed"

Regretably the Law, and ignorance of it obviously, doesn't work that way.

Sadly, ignorance of the obvious is positively encouraged. :shock:

I'm not condoning the wording, I'm commenting on the fact that it's obviously an ironic post as stated above. the whole point of the list is a pi$$ take.
There are many ways to make a point in relation to bigotry one way is never to mention the nasty taboo words the other is to use those words to demonstrate the point.

I can't believe there are people on here who I have time for who can't see this............

The post is clearly a satire of the sort of notices often seen on boarding houses in the 50s. E.g.. "no dogs, no black's, no Irish". They were also quite common outside of pubs the 1980s as i recall, except they often said "no scooterists". As such it's clear intention is not one of racism or sexism but the exact opposite. It is a parody of certain intolerant elements within the scooter scene.

To make a deadly serious point for a moment, the UK is sleepwalking into an Orwellian nightmare of thought control. It is not a coincidence that this is happening. It is a deliberate strategy by those that would oppress us. Once the general population is cowed by political correctness then they will be too afraid to voice concerns about the direction of society. Worried about your job being taken by a desperate immigrant prepared to work for nothing, you're a racist. Concerned that the welfare state is being abused, you're a racist. Bothered by legal double standards whereby certain groups have special privileges, racist. Speak out against barbaric religious practice, well you get the picture.

The concept of Thoughtcrime is not just coming, it's here and it's being welcomed with open arms by well intentioned idiots who just like the allegorical frog in hot water won't realise that they're being cooked until it's too late.

Unite Against Fascism and their like are a far bigger threat to a free society than any amount of terrorists. Give it a few years and people will be being sent to reeducation camps to cure their deviant opinions and those guarding the camps will be convinced that they're doing the right thing.

makes me laugh so much how little it takes to offend people these days.
im going to jump on the "im offended" bandwagon and say, although I have no idea by who or where this was originally posted, I read it as satire, therefore im extremely offended that the political correct amongst us have blown it up and made a mountain out of a mole hill, as usual.
GET A GRIP FFS

Ifi had created that list I would have defiantly added

"no politically correct cry babies"
and had it at the top of the list above gts riders :)
