Australian Political correctness goes overboard!
Ok, the politically correct crowd just went overboard. I read on Yahoo this morning that Australian mall Santas are being encouraged to say HA HA HA instead of HO HO HO because that could be offensive to women! WHAT!!! What am I supposed to call my hand held garden cultivator now? What if your skanky neighbor is weeding her garden in a Santa hat, will the world stop spinning?????

Re: Australian Political correctness goes overboard!
i didn't hear that one. doesn't surprise me one bit.
last year we had race riots on a beach. an enthic group of people beat up a surf life saver and started a big "Aussie versus Wogs" war that still hasn't subsided. after that it was put forward by "the Political Correctness Council" that the Australian flag had become gang colours displayed by Aussie delinquents in a way of antogonising the ethnic culture of Australia. It was then decided that the Returned Services League clubs (our war heroes pubs/clubs and a place for yougsters to get drunk real cheaply) should remove our nations flags from their flag poles. that is going to far. imagine not being able to display the american flag on independance day in case you upset a migrant!!!!

It's getting rediculous that we are so worried about hurting someones feelings that we infringe on the right to display our nation's flag! I'm not Jewish, but I wouldn't be offended if a Jewish person wished me a happy Hannukah (sp?). How can someone be offended by being wished a good day(s)?? This world is turning into a bunch of mamby pamby wusses. I think our legislators need a good swat on the bottom. Oh wait, I can't do that either, I guess we'll give have to give them a time out,

Re: Australian Political correctness goes overboard!
Always remember that political correctness is all about censorship, power & control. NOT about appropriateness or right/wrong.
