Hmm,
Humour is something that will not appeal to everyone, I get that.
However to delete is because it offends someone is just wrong.
This is the world we live in, Don't like it, it didn't happen or It will be used against you.




You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

I noticed a couple of years ago.
Dire Straits, the Line, "Little Faggot" is blanked out on commercial radio.
Why are we deleting history?


FFS, deleting that phrase is not ‘deleting history’…

That word has specifically been used for decades to humiliate and denigrate gay men.

Would you consider it to be ‘deleting history’ if the word was ‘n*gga’ and not faggot?

If you don’t like that it isn’t there, get the version that has it in, and listen to that.

Humour has to be funny for a start, but anyway that's personal choice.

But people not accepting that certain things be allowed to continue, is not deleting history. The same argument was used about removing certain statues of people that didn't deserve to be honored with a statue. It wasn't about deleting history, it was simply recognising the fact that they, and what they stood for, didn't deserve to have a statue to honor their memory. No different to why you don't see many statues of Hitler or Idi Amin.

I think the real cancel culture is the mob that want to cancel the idea that certain things are actually offensive.
4.2L TD Toyota Troopy, (Clarke's Country Camper Trailer, softfloor.) sold it and bought a Avan Ray small poptop caravan. I miss being able to acces the little tracks off into the scrub.
