Now ya see that is just stupidity and that kind of thing will just reverse the development of the human race.
Political Correctness was set up as a way of minimizing offense.
Being contemptuously insulted has a different manner and is a different matter.
Enjoy the Aussie!!

Eh i agree sometimes political correctness can be downright daft but to me it's all to do with the context. For instance i have several English, American, French, German, Aussie and Portugese friends and when we're out together they'll be giving me the bankrupt Paddy pot of gold leprechaun stuff but i'll give as good as i get, tis all a laugh. So long as there's no hate or malice intended it shouldn't be a problem. It should be down to common sense.

I am from an Irish family, we grew up being called tinkers spawn. Its all tired old rubbish, perpetuated by ignorance. Nothing at all to do with humour.
