Dead 15 years, but relevant as ever. Serious question Cap. If political correctness means it has become socially unacceptable to call aboriginals 'coons' are you against that? Or is this curtailment of your 'right' to slander and insult with impunity a form of 'fascism'. I mean let's be real. Most PC stuff falls within a spectrum of 'sensible to ridiculous'. To say all PC is bad or akin to 'fascism' is plain dumb. A direct and intentional racist insult isn't being "politically incorrect". It's just being racist. Not really . Back when I was a kid you'd just offhand say this 'coon' that or this 'boong' something else. Loads of people spoke like that and no one thought it was particularly bad. 'PC' changed that. Would you say the same thing about the word 'faggot'? Sure. We used it all the time when I was at school. Adults talked about 'poofs', 'queers', 'homos' and 'fags' in general conversation too. Whilst it hasn't died out, 5 minutes listening to my kid's friends tells you it's still in use, it's better than it was. I'm not sure what the argument is here. I'm just trying to say not all PC culture is bad. I was just bringing up that the use of those words is generally in a similar fashion to how you were saying people would use 'coon' or 'boong'. Wasn't really arguing anything, just getting an opinion. What do you think? Member since 2008.

I kindly request you find your outlets for this kind of stuff elsewhere (and some of it I'd say nowhere), and also a reminder not to have pot shots at each other please.
