Money for nuthin,banned in Canada

Our history books are offensive too.
What would you think of this as a more politically correct version of our history lessons:
Wolfe met Moncalme at a friendly wine and cheese party and they hit off a lifelong friendship ever since. They were so extatic about each other's uncannily similar ideas about the foundation of a new bilingual country on the North American Continent they'd call Canada which would be governed by Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that they brought the issue forth to all their indigenous friends. All their friends were extatic too, so much so that they immediately convened an assembly to establish a Parliament of Canada.
When the King of England got wind of the news, he immediately expressed his approval, and the nation-building fever soon cpread into the thirteen colonies. As a result, they'd decided to try something even more daring by declaring their independence and writing a Constitution based on Canada's new BNA Act and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The King of England was extatic about the news and immediately sent a letter of congratuations to the new country.
How's that for a happier version of history?
I'm so sorry. The wine was natural, organic and non-alcoholic, as was the non-dairy cheese.

How about: once upon a time, the self-proclaimed world leader was the United States, and because their people believed that they had more rights and freedoms than people in all other nations, they were easy to control through fear of losing their super rights and freedoms. They willingly gave up their privacy to save themselves from the bad foreigners that might limit their freedoms. Their freedom of speech was so important that the concept of respecting the autonomy of others was not even an afterthought. Soon, their political correctness spread to other parts of the world, and eventually everyone's rights were compromised. I can hardly wait for the day when funerals for 9 year old girls are protested by anti-queer advocates in Canada.
What is the correct ... politically correct ... term for men that like to have sex with men ... these days?

Re: Stupid on the loose
Is that the word that was offensive? I thought it was fag or something about men that have sex with men. Chick, eh. So that was offensive to one woman, and the music was rewritten? Hmmm, what's the world coming to. Offensive art.
What if the general public just refers to men that like to have sex with other men as just that. It seems that previous terms have become so offensive that they must be removed from art, and the men that like to have sex with other men want to give themselves a name that they deem acceptable. That's great. But ... What if the general public has an existing, different meaning for that word, and doesn't really want to see the word eliminated from general language use. What if the general public appreciates the word's current meaning more. Would it still be acceptable for the men that like to have sex with men to hijack a perfectly good word and change it's meaning to: men that like to have sex with men. Take the word queer, for example. It's a pretty good word, in context. Some things are queer, so queer that the lesser word of weird just doesn't cut it. If queer and queen are to include the meanings of men that like to have sex with men and men that like to dress up like ss****ty barbie dolls, shouldn't everyone have a say, not just the men that like to have sex with men and dress up like tarts?
What is the correct term today? Homo? Homosexual? Gay? Queer? Fag? Purse draggers? Leather skins?

8O One of my favourite songs of all time is "Walk of Life" by Dire Straits, and a line in the song goes something like;
I got a woman down in the tunnel trying to make it pay.
Never really thought about it too much, but if you stretch it you could come up with pimping and whoring and nasty lyrics the CBSC shouldn't really want us to hear either. TOOO LATE, FAGGOTS.:laughing6:
Money for nothing used to get regular radio play not too long ago.
El Knopfler gotta be one of the guitar gods for sure. There's a youtube somewhere of him and Mr. Atkins duetting
WTF, folks?? ..............the big PC is rooooning all our ****.

Welcome to Canada eh!
Sorry mate, that's our word. If you where White, well who the **** would care if you said cracker crackers ****ing crackery crackers, but based on the colour of your skin, whatever that is, you can't say it without offending me and my white heritage. You can now say please pass the salted biscuits instead so that I won't have to cry cry cry while I follow you around from board to board waiting for you to say something that I can get offended over. If I try really hard. Not that it really matters but I figure that if I can get this pushed through then it might help later on if I include the results in my resume.
Also, I am not sure how I feel about the words white bread. So you may want to watch it with that for a while just we see how cranky I feel today.
The trouble with this country is all the white bread. Useless, tasteless crap! White bread should be outlawed.
Re: Stupid on the loose

In case anybody cares,the same thing happened to Harley Davisdon years ago.They had a very popular model,the name ov which I can't think of right now, but it had a number of "rebel" flag decals on it.ONE complaint from a ,black,coloured,pigmentally chalenged,individual,and they changed the bike,dropped the "rebel" decals because of the link{?} to slavery
WTF !!
WTF !!
What kind of uproar would there be for "Shave em Dry" or "My Girls Pussy" or a multitude of other dittys from the thirties?
Can't even watch any movies from that era. But with all the really really fantastic and sensitive movies made for tv these days, who's going to miss them?:roll:
Do these turkeys mean I have to give up "Wy Worry" and other great songs on that album? Not a hope...

Being offended is a prerequisite to life. If you think you can go out into public and not be offended by what you see and hear then you shouldn't allowed to stray from your property. If you hear "Faggot" on the radio and it offends you, what about if you hear it on my radio while I am driving or parked? What is the difference if you hear it on your radio or my car stereo in a parking lot? Is that less offensive?
History shows that when art gets censored problems follow. When it's coming from something other than your government, it's about your rights. If you are expressing a long accepted form or art and someone tells you that you can't use a word because someone doesn't like it, they need to be told to back off.
Context is everything and a word should never be banned from any exchange of ideas.
The people we are at war with right this moment, ban words and ideas. They ruined historic forms of art that will forever be lost to the world because some decided it was now offensive. There is no way to explain our collective cultures and heritage without the use of all words. One of the first ways of communicating our cultures has been through art.
It is unreasonable and unacceptable to consider Money For Nothing an offensive song. That's all been explained far better than I can here. What everyone needs to do is speak up about it. Once one word is banned, then all words are in danger. Don't let anyone fool you that this isn't a slippery slope. Stand up and put a stop to it right here with this word.
