School renames classes to avoid offence
5 June 2006

Bonnyrigg Primary School in Midlothian, Scotland, has changed the numbers of its classes from 1a and 1b in case those in class 1b felt inferior to those in class 1a - despite the fact that it was quite clear that the make up of the two classes was based on the dates of birth of the pupils.

Police order woman to take down joke sign
27 July 2006

A woman who has had a tongue-in-cheek sign outside her cottage for more than 30 years has been told by police to take it down because it is deemed a "hate crime" despite local Jehovah's Witnesses saying it didn't cause offence

The sign says, "Our dogs are fed on Jehovah's Witnesses" and was put up after Jehovah's Witnesses called on them repeatedly - even once on Christmas day.

The next one is unbelievable

Cooing at new born babies banned as it breaches their human rights
27 September 2005

Calderdale Royal Hospital in Halifax has banned visitors from cooing at new-born babies following a staff advice session which highlighted the need for respect and dignity for patients. Signs have been put up in the hospital saying, "What makes you think I want to be looked at?". A spokeswoman for Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust said the advice was also to do with reducing infection as well as upholding rights. However, Debbie Lawson, neo-natal manager at the hospital's special baby care unit, said "Cooing should be a thing of the past because these are little people with the same rights as you or me." Philip Davies MP, Yorkshire Spokesman for the Campaign Against Political Correctness, whose youngest son was born only a few months ago, said, "Never mind the asylum, the lunatics have now taken over the maternity ward.” He also added, "However, I do think that if someone was cooing over a baby and the baby sat up and asked them not to do it because it was infringing their human rights then I think the person should respect the baby's wishes!"

Theirs more on the website for anyone who wants a good laugh at the ridiculous nature of political correctness of all forms.

Don't call me the Nword and you are alright with me.
But I must say, a lot of the black superstars are great athletes. I never thought about that before. And I haven't watched WWE in months but I dreamed that Shad knocked a guy's head off with a boot last night.

You racist bastards.

Cage21 · 07-02-2008, 07:17 PM

I don't care that I can't call him black as long as I can continue to call him boring.

I understand exactly what the guy was saying. Shelton was considered the most athletic man on the roster. What does his color matter? It doesn't matter at all to the argument. You brought the color of his skin into it. What does it matter what color Kofi or Shelton are. It shouldn't have anything to do with an argument about athleticism.

The guy was completely right in you being ignorant. Obviously you are too ignorant to understand that concept.

That's what I got from it, too.

What white guy on the roster is more athletic than Benjamin?

Exactly.

BAN THE RACIST HARDY MARK.

**DDMac** · 07-02-2008, 07:30 PM

Any Jeff Hardy mark should be banned. Just one of the many new rules I'm going to have implemented.

I'm pretty sure i explained my reason for saying black athlete instead of just athlete and no it wasnt just about athleticism, it was a point about Kofi taking Sheltons spot, also when asked the question as to why i said that, i elaborated and said it was in regards to the reports of WWE looking to market black stars to boost the ratings in those specific markets, and that was my point that Kofi had overtaken Shelton in Shelton strongest area and in the strongest area that Shelton would have been marketed towards.

Though thanks for proving my point about what this rant was about, which was not being able to say anything remotely related to race without the p.c. brigade coming along claiming to be offended, when their was no intent to offend nor should someone be offended by me calling Kofi Kingston a better black athlete than Shelton Benjamin, i'm not discriminating against anyone, i'm not for one single moment, yet because i happened to mention someones race, i'm all of sudden ignorant, nice.

Is it wrong for people to call Ron Simmons the first black world champion, no it isnt, then why is it wrong for me to say that Shelton Benjamin is no longer the best black athlete.

Shouldnt you have said what guy of any race on the WWE roster is more athletic than Benjamin, instead of single out white guys, if i'm in the wrong for saying 'black athlete'
