And believe me, and isn't very "pleasant" being Irish in the UK after any of those terrorist attacks.
I can well believe, but it gets so much less media coverage at all levels than this latest incident. Still, ignorance is ignorance, be it directed at people of any descent or religion.

Not enough room. I say we find a big island, put all radicals, gangs, murderers, etc on it. Give them basic needs and let them wage war or make peace with one another.

But then again........that would be immoral..

No, you linked to proven hate filled bigot with a track record of actively supporting the actual practice of genocide.
So if people dedicated to mass murder are now your idea of "not left leaning and politicly correct enough" then its just a further illustration of how far off the cliff of insanity you have gone with your hatred.

Well, here we go, the copycat attacks are spreading already! This time a French soldier on duty is stabbed in the neck. But he will survive. This kind of crap is going to start a backlash, going to get nasty too I bet.

You really think that bunch of football hooligans are going to do something other than what they normally do?
Don't you think their very predictable behavior will rapidly marginalise them from the genuine outrage the population is feeling?

They do need to work on their chanting though, they can't quite seem to get the old anti Irish chant reworked to fit neatly into an anti muslim one.

Sure. Guess I also suffer from this made-up disease, and the real problem is in my head.

Not the rambling idiocy and invented conclusions of this writer. No no, he's all fine.

Give it a rest, SKybird.

No, nothing is fine, but much is PC these days. And what that term means, different to your recent attempt to ignore its meaning nowadays, is this: a general tendency for chatting-up in the use of language to curry favour with the contemporary political Zeitgeist, and claiming dominance and superiority in opinion forming and opinion influencing. Moral dogmatism defines what is correct to think and to say why these contents are totally opportunistic and often disconnected from the real meaning of words and terms, and PC works as a tactic by which to morally brandmark differing or opposing views no matter their content and outcast them not by argument, but by mere opportunistic moralizing. In most Western countries this process can fluidly transform into legally sanctioned opinion prohibition and censorship, and can also lead to character assassination without needing to care for the relevance or irrelevance of that person's opinion and argument - it is not the deciding ctageroy by which to judge him, but what decides is that he is not in line with the wanted dominant opinion dogma. Examples for this witchhunting for non-complying opinions are climate and environmental debates, fundamentalist feminism now being disguised as "genderism", wealth distribution declared as social solidarity, criticism of Islam and Islamic passivity in the face of Islamic terror labeled as Islamophobia, rejection of current immigration policies being called "racism", opposition to the Euro being called "war-mongering", and refusing gay marriages for sociological arguments being called "discrimination".

As one example:


With the above being in English, this is Henryk Broder in German on the term PC:

Quote:
Call it what it is - stop political correctness

What would help a lot right now, as the chilling reality of savagery engulfs us, would be a cultural green light to begin calling evil what it is, to begin calling it by its name, to stop dancing around demographics because of the fear someone, somewhere will take offense.

There is always someone, somewhere looking for a reason to be offended. Jesse Jackson has fashioned a lucrative career out of being perpetually peeved. It works if you know how to play the game.

And one of the reasons it works is that too many people who ought to know better allow themselves to be characterized as racists, xenophobes, homophobes, anti-Semites; it's a long list.

It's getting to a point where, even when you know there's no hatred in your heart, you find yourself picking words the way a shopper picks tomatoes, looking for just the right ones, casting questionable ones aside.

This has been going on a long time.

Back in 1979, when the late Darryl Williams, then 15, was sentenced to live as a quadriplegic by a lowlife who shot him on the sidelines of a football game in Charlestown, this city refused to declare it a hate crime, evidence notwithstanding, fearful of possible ramifications in those turbulent days of anti-busing frenzy.

Misguided sensitivity trumped common sense, which it's still doing today as civilized society tries to find ways to acknowledge we face a menacing foe while giving no offense to anyone wearing a burqa, hijab or turban.

It shouldn't have to be pointed out that entire groups are not responsible for barbarians in their midst, but it also should not be uncomfortable to call those barbarians by their names, whether it's in response to placing bombs at the feet of unsuspecting innocents, or the beheading of a young British soldier in broad daylight on a London street.

With their hands covered in that soldier's blood, those self-proclaimed jihadists displayed their weapons to horrified onlookers, as one of them was heard to vow, "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you. You people will never be safe."

You people? Yes. Us, or the "infidels" as these madmen prefer to call anyone who doesn't subscribe to the insanity of their toxic faith.

Remember, the last words of the hijackers who flew into the World Trade Center were, "All praise to Allah!"

Political correctness? Please.

If ever there was a time to deal with facts, not feelings, it's now.

No offense to Allah, but God help us if we don't wake up.
So, Tchocky, it is guys like you who have to give it a rest - and who have to stop stop eroding the fundaments of our freedom. Whether you mean it well or not, means nothing. What you help to do in effect in the world is what counts. And that effects cost us dearly and destroy what is the most precious for us - even when people are not yet aware of it because they never had to live without it and thus take it for granted and deal it carelessly away. The damage is already too huge and there is too much at stake to be polite anymore, to be hesitant anymore, to be obedient anymore. Who wants to defend the heritage of the enlightenment, the values of humanism, and freedom, must be intolerant today.
