I agree totally.Okay..I can give you how I came 'here',
It was about 4 decades ago.
I heard a man preach and 'lay out' the trap that we are falling into re civil rights.
I'm not sure now if he was a christian lawyer or what, too long ago, so I foeget.
But he explained how if someone says -" I will give you the freedom to do thus and so". ( make it a law or whatever) ..it stands to reason that those same people can come along at a later date and say .." I now take back that freedom that I gave you." ( change the law)
We were all free anyway, we don't need a law to tell us that we are free to breath the air.
Freedom of speech was given,freedom of speech can be removed ( and is)
We are already where we are at the place where there is only freedom of speech for some. It is even more obvious here in Canada.
PC is now a weapon of control for the governments. It is not for the benefit for anyone but the governments and One Worlders.
Control, control, control...until every man in the street, like the story of the frog boiled in warm water and slowly turning up the heat...he does not jump out, but gets cooked.
We are already "comfortable" with every movement we make being recorded on a camera somewhere.- " All for the good of the people and protection."
...Just wait.
The man in the street will just as soon be very comfortable with PC control.
"All for the good of people and protection"...just wait..
It's all Frog in water...we will sooner or later be 'cooked'.
On the sad and humorous side . Even the British sea side stand by= The Punch and Judy shows ...been going for many centuries now...we all managed to grow up safely...but no...they go overboard...PC has gone crazy ..just to see how much they can control us.

While political correctness has often been used correctly to help under-protected groups, there are many examples of overzealous decision makers taking it way too far. ( to test just how far they can go)
Here are just a few examples of some of the daftest PC decisions.
The clue is in the name: Dennis the Menace has always been a catapult-toting nuisance. Well, until now. *A makeover of the famous character, who first appeared in the Beano in 1951, was given a politically correct new look to make him less of a troublemaker. A source at BBC, who reworked the cartoon, said: “Dennis can’t be seen to use weapons and giving other kids grief in a BBC cartoon.” (Credit: Beano/BBC)
Punch & Judy gets the boot
Punch & Judy shows have been a staple of the British seaside for centuries.
In fact, its history stretches back to the diarist Samuel Pepys, who wrote about seeing a show in Covent Garden over 350 years ago.
That hasn’t stopped Barry Town Council from banning the show from a festival next month because of its “inappropriate hitting” – because it depicts violence. Blah blah blah
Eighty per cent in Canada say, "These days, it seems like you can't say anything without someone feeling offended."
Clearly, political correctness is on Canadians' minds. They believe that their language is being policed by unnamed forces. Three-quarters say they routinely hold their tongues in the presence of others, mostly to be polite, but also to avoid negative judgment.
Before we know it...we will be an openly communist country..
Oh right, I read somewhere about brother betraying brother, and the children their parents etc.....!!
Aspen, I guess it just brings us back to " Let every man be persuaded in his own mind."
It probably sounds to you like fear mongering. But we are treading in the footsteps or those who paid the price before us...be it Russia, Rumania, Germany..where ever... My own brother says to me.." No, it wont happen here" ( uk) A friend of mine told me that her dad said that when they were still in Germany during the war. Did not, and would not believe the 'rumours' that they were hearing!!
But, it is and it will. PC is a controlling weapon. Time will tell.
Sorry, I know I am a lousy writer, and I can never get my words down well or express myself .
I should take lessons from @bbyrd009 he gets away with murder when he writes his short-hand. He is my champ.
Bless you...I hope you can make some head or tail of this.
And this comes for one of the main objectors to "Long Posts" !!
I was talking to my baby 20yo about 'The Wind in the Willows' this Sunday and she said lets put it on, I have it on CD but it's the new PC version, my nipper would not watch it because it had lost all of it's true richness in flavour. but lucky we had a old VCR and went and hooked that up and it worked, so we watched the true version, it's magic simply splendid.
Mr Toad of Toad Hall, he reminds me of an idiot mate of mine down the road, he is a mixture of Mr Toad and Frank Spencer, but he has never watched both shows, so he claims. I say to him at times, you are Frank Spencer ant you.
You could never have a show with the likes of like Frank Spencer nowadays , Some mothers do 'ave 'em it's called, my nipper loved that show, but people her age don't know the show she says.
Another good show is called 'Monkey' with 52 story's about the budda, a story as long as life, set in the late 70's and now we have seen remakes of it of late, a brother text me that he had just seen the new version and was very dis pleased, it is totally destroyed as it's meaningless nonsense, but the original was great especially if you had the brain power to understand that the story's have a moral lesson in them that one can ponder over, you get no such thing with all the new movies as such is all just about nonsense now.
