I don't think PC has gone too far. More often than not, it's political and cultural conservatives, and folks on the right of the political spectrum, who seem to have an issue with political correctness. As for comedians, you can be clever about stereotyping like Jerry Seinfeld, or you can be a total sh1thead, like the loathsome Andrew Dice Clay.

I read an article the other week about people wanting the popular pre-school cartoon Paw Patrol taken off of air because they paint police as good guys.

Yes, well, when I refer to political correctness, I mean properly researched, properly debated, scholarly ideas that have merit and substance, not gossamer nonsense from twitter.

Well I and most of my friends are definitely not far right conservatives, politically or culturally - not by a long shot. In fact, speaking for myself I'm miles off conservatism... though I am very conservative when working with power tools and electricity! So, perhaps a sweeping generalisation there, Pauly.

But on another angle, Pauly, do I sniff a prejudice against our conservative brothers and sisters?

I'd never heard of Andrew Dice Clay so just watched a bit of his stuff on YouTube. Well, not my cup of tea... just a little too base without being funny or clever for my liking (but very appealing to 'the shadow'... Jordan P would have a ball with this cat). Can I suggest you don't watch any Jim Jeffries or Jimmy Carr! I found Seinfeld clever but boring, but don't look down my nose at those who love him and his brand of humour.

I thought we were disussing political correctness gone mad?

An important distinction that you may have to explain in more detail... most of what we've been referring to here as excessive PC doesn't fall into the specialist categories you're pointing out.

We are, but that story about Paw Petrol has nothing to do with political correctness. It's standard issue social media idiocy. It's a trap people fall into all the time, conflating what they think is "x" with what is really "x".

I guess we have to turn to your expertise to draw that line?

I don't think any expertise is required in order to draw a distinction between fluff on social media and genuine attempts to create a more inclusive, tolerant and accepting society, ideas which lie at the heart of political correctness.

Seems you've picked your side already.

I guess identifying the genuine attempts can be a bit tricky?

Just a matter of time. The quarantine seems to have been a major stuff up.

I hope they didn't hire those useless "crowd controller" (I think that's what they're supposed to be) clowns in hivis vests that pollute AFL stadia on game days... The clueless cretins who spend the day on their phone doing F knows what.

@ Prof

I think the police are involved this time, at least at the tower blocks.

I know one thing for sure, the guards they hired were dumber than the doors they were guarding. I mean they had one job, guard the doors, no one in or out. They took people shopping FFS! I would take away their security guard registration and ban them from working in the industry because they are just too dumb. That might qualify them as Carlton Footballers.
