You've made this point before. Don't know if I asked earlier but what is making you think this? Give examples of things that have happened to you personally...
Has political correctness actually gone mad?

A bit like the reactions in here. That post was a picture with lots of exaggerations, they were meant to be funny (i think), some of them are, to be fair.
I've been quoted a couple times by people who (included you) seem offended or annoyed about it.
I think i best stay out of this thread, since any form for humour seem to offend people. Ironically, considering the thread title.
To clarify, i'm not offended by that... I just don't see anything funny in it. There's no punchline, nothing ironic etc. It reads like a shopping list.
Edit: Then again we don't all share the same humor and something I might laugh about may be bland to you. And that's fine.
offended/annoyed? It was just a question....I'll be real if you can't take someone questioning a post of yours then 1) its no wonder you think the sky is falling and 2) you're being a flipping snowflake.
Too close to realityThe vegans complaining at the carrot was a bit funny, no?
Upon reflection I approve of the snowballs line though
.

Well, the few posts i've made in here, have all been "attacked" or questioned.
I live in a wealthy country, with lots of fresh air, water, and pretty much everyone have a good life, so things that might be small, are blown out of proportions.
Might be why i have different view on stuff than some. The Caf is full of people from different cultures and we all see things differently.
We all find different things funny wrt your joke. No need to make anything more than that out of it.
As for the rest, fair enough. I asked because I may have been able to help you look at things differently, no big tho.

Be careful. McUnited will be in here in a moment telling you it's "too," not "to."I'm probably getting to old to get my opinions changed

Going to ninja edit it.
Anyone see the Munk debate on PC?
If you have a spare couple of hours it was pretty interesting.

There's a few pages of discussion in the Peterson/Harris thread if you want to join in there
Makes sense, I was kind of surprised it hadnt been linked before, stands to reason I was looking in the wrong place.
I actually planned to post it in here until I saw it in that thread
So they're now trying to force the restaurant and food trade to change the name of pork faggots to something else.
Ideas for new name???

Who is? I've not come across this one.
I don't think it is specifically from the gay community. More so, a bunch of idiots who like to complain.
Where are these idiots?
I've googled 'faggots' and saw nothing in the news. Searched twitter and just got... well, what you'd expect when searching twitter for tweets containing the word 'faggots'.
Somebody posted about it in the chefs group I'm in so I'll try find it and tag you in on here.
I'm not sure I've even seen any faggots since I left the Black Country five years ago.
You still see a fair few faggots in Wales.
You ever indulged? I've barely eaten red meat since I was about five, so never really been on the radar. Can't say they sound particularly appetising.
Oh yes, definitely, I like a good faggot. I eat a lot of meat, and a lot of red meat particularly.
I do believe giving up meat - becoming vegan in fact - would be the single best thing a person could personally do to help the environment. I think about it quite a bit, in an abstract way - not "will I do this or not / when might I do this?" but "would it be possible for me to do it? How would I go about doing it?" I have thought about what I would eat, what I would miss, whether I would be able to actually hack it. And I think actually the single biggest stumbling block isnt even meat, it is cheese. But I think I could do it. It would be good for my weight as well, I dare say, which is another good reason to do it.
But for now I keep on eating meat. And yes, to come full circle, when I see a faggot in a restaurant I am somewhat aroused, from a culinary perspective.
Are faggots basically just the English version of a haggis?
Fwiw red meat is carcinogenic. I'll say no more...
You could get yourself killed around here saying that.
Or if not killed, certainly scowled at quite severely.
Seriously though, kind of, but a bit more sausage-like. A cross between haggis and sausage.
Are they Welsh?! Feck me. Big booboo, if so. My mum is half Welsh.
Pork fagnots.
They are most certainly not. They only came to Wales after people from the Black Country went there to work.
I dont think they are Welsh, I think they belong to both nations. I think the Welsh would prefer them to be called British.
Quite possibly. But theyve been here that long now that they are naturalised, and eligible to play for the national team.
Faggots are banging to be fair, used to get them down the chippy at lunch.
Started to notice this internet trend of late, particularly on Twitter, where people will not only be offended by silly things, but will actually take something that isn't offensive in any way, and create an agenda around it in order to put it into a context where they can pretend it is. Just so can then go on a do gooder rampage against it. Plenty of examples of this with the recent Raheem Sterling being picked on trend.
It's one thing when idiots are over reacting with their PC hat on, another when actually intelligent people are creating problems that aren't there just so they can be seen as being the good guy.

Theyre not kebabs. Not even close. But then what is?
