Interesting but long article well worth the read,how being offended is being raised to an art form resulting in suppression of free speech, open debates and academic research. With new jargon like "Micro-aggresions"

" During the 2014–15 school year, for instance, the deans and department chairs at the 10 University of California system schools were presented by administrators at faculty leader-training sessions with examples of microaggressions. The list of offensive statements included: “America is the land of opportunity” and “I believe the most qualified person should get the job.”

OK its in the USA but this kind of crap rolls up in the UK 5 to 10 years later. Time for the Government to make Universities enforce their rules on free speech and free expression?

You do realise this is a football forum don't you ? For years all you've done is post Neo Con troll bullshit.

Do you even like football ?

You're part of a generation that seems to have confused political correctness with basic health and safety regulations.

I think it would be politically correct not to insult the OP. Or you could end up in California, the land of fruits and nuts. As a former resident of the golden state I know from which I'm typing.

I find it ironic that the word in the thread title spelled incorrectly is "correctness."

Has been happening for a long time. As much as I think Tyson Fury is a complete and utter imbecile, I also believe that expressing his views should not preclude his removal from an awards ceremony. Unfortunately many of the 'offended' think differently, and this kind of suppression is spreading throughout society.

Some Derby fans showed microagression towards March. Am i getting this?

Now if your not trolling here then the only way you would see "neo-conbullshit" is if you were in political threads whining like you have here.

Irony?

That article seems misconceived and the original article has also been amended. It is not the article I linked unless you consider shooting the messenger as legitimate debate.

No I don't Donald. I am not prepared to enter into a debate about the topic. Enjoy your day.

you are very much on the pulse here

there is a horrible growing trend by some,mostly on the left that you should simply be made to shut up and you have no right to opinion.
The far left especially in our universities are the new fascists without a doubt

Which leads me to wonder, and I'm sure I've asked you this before, why you are often so incredibly patronising and rude about people who don't share your views? Genuine question. You often say how you are into politics but quite a lot of the time your just name calling.

Anyway, in my 15 years on NSC I don't think I've ever heard Looney being described as 'on the pulse'!

Usually way ahead of it.

I dont see this as a left v right issue, more like Intellectual v stupid. If left at all a small subculture that has avoided criticism, the Emotional intelligence brigade and a mix of victim cult feminists, the latter having a point about using the trigger word term but then as is often the idiots got hold of it.

I've recently learned that PC and fighting social justice is just a way for frat guys to crush puss.

Without a doubt, really ?
