Zeitgeist hysteria once again goes amok
 
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46413209

Sorry, here is the original release, and all I can see in it is the humour, the playing around, the attempt to charm somebody - and the respect to not overstep a red line without consent.

Yes, lady, you're tellign the truth there, cannot disagree. Keep such suckers off my skin, I beg ya.

Nuts. A deed is never just a deed, but a deed in situaitonal context. To ignore this in a general fashion, must create hysteria like this.


Interesting it will be to see, whether it stays within one city only, or spreads - or said city sees a revolt that convinces the broadcaster to u-turn on this ban.

Well if that's offensive then they better pull Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer since that song is about bullying. Far too strong for our sensitive little ones to even hear once. :hmmm:

:haha:

Na this is just getting started. Santa Clause is a victim of fat shaming, Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer was bullied by the other reindeer and wishing for a White Christmas makes you a White Supremacist. Just saying Merry Christmas is politically incorrect. What it shows is that people on the crazy left* are just not happy. They lead miserable lives and they want to make everybody else miserable.

*Not all people on the left are in this category.

I seriously think we should rename Gen Z to Gen Offended.:roll:

STEED 12-01-18 01:55 PM

I like to rid the world of these..............

Due to forum rules I can not go any further.

If that goes on humans will not be able to reproduce at some time.
But maybe this is not such a bad idea, after all.

I wonder whether the mimosas even have cared to watch the video's second half...?!

Jimbuna 12-02-18 07:38 AM

Mimosa eh?

That was a pretty nice drink for Mrs Buna on our recent trip to Mexico.

Skybird 12-02-18 11:11 AM

Say it with flowers. :O:

Doesn't the drink shy away everytime you want to take a sip? :hmmm:

Skybird 12-02-18 02:47 PM

No, but the drinker jack-knives in his hips and has his nose between his knees for the coming hour or two.

:rotfl2:

@Jim: Yes, just called a "Mimose" in german. If you touch it the leaves fold away along the axis, by sudden loss of cell pressure, but i guess you know this? If not:

Skybird 12-03-18 02:42 PM

Yes.

Why the confusion? I checked it now, three online dictionaries give me the translation of the German name "Mimose" as "mimosa" (beside "sleepy plant", "sensitive plant", "touch-me-not", with the Latin word "mimosa" apparently commonly used in English)...!?

Catfish 12-03-18 02:47 PM

One of our TR6 was 'Mimosa yellow'. It was not green though :hmmm:
