Subject: RE: BS: How long after can one make jokes about
Sorry - posted that last one in a hurry - Mastermind had just started.
Can I explain.
I certainly am no supporter of political oversensitivity, particulary after witnessing the disappearence of many good traditional songs following a campaign by feminists to purge the scene of so-called 'sexist' material.
However, I do believe there to be a middle ground in most subjects (with the possible exception of racism).
I find the term PC has the effect of polarising any subject, making debate extremely difficult.
If it's any comfort I als belive do- badders to be the opposite of do-gooders - again, no competition.
