We are not allowed to do or say anything that might offend others It does not matter that I personally am deeply offended by the statements and actions of those that deeply offend me. We - the silently majority IMHO just have to put up with it. How on earth have we allowed this to happen. Just like the girl (am I allowed to say that without asking her preferred gender selection) asked the meaning of the word WOKE I do not have a clue, although I do suspect the answer is as close as it gets to the truth.

Geoff. I actually thought "the girl" looked a bit like you Geoff! 🤣 In your younger years of course! You are free to say what you want on here Geoff, the only request we have is "no politics". A conversation about what you feel is woke or about lgbgtq+ or what ever is most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's just my chubby cheeks Neil. What I do not understand about all the gender selection is why today there are millions of people who claim to have been born with the wrong wedding tackle etc. I went to a boys school and spent time in the forces, and quite literally never was aware that there were any "confused" fellas. today we have millions of them. Not speaking politics, but in my mind it is because the schools and universities are staffed by left/liberals who actually teach our youngsters what "normal" behaviour. There probably always have been a few people that may have had certain leanings, and what what consenting adults do in their private premises is entirely their own business. Rant over for now. This is supposed to be humorous! Geoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a small percentage, it's just that the news casters exaggerate these things for ratings imo. I think you are correct about the lefty teachers however.

It starts at primary, I had a right go at one of Mikey's teachers when they were trying to tell teach them that hunting and fishing is a bad thing..... I believe I pointed out that getting kicked around by an angry biker is far worse, so stop filling my kids heads full of nonsense and stick to the curriculum thejollysinker and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I pointed out that getting kicked around by an angry biker is far worse, so stop filling my kids heads full of nonsense and stick to the curriculum Sorry Steve - that is the curriculum now. This so called WOKE nonsense is everywhere - just look at the adverts on TV and you will see what I mean. The people and situations shown in the adverts are just designed to brainwash us all into accepting that is the norm - and the youngsters are taught that and believe that is now the correct way to behave. What have we allowed to happen to our behaviour and beliefs? Geoff. This had better be moved from here as it certainly does not come under the title humour - it is certainly not funny. Geoff.

Andy135 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I believe we're on the cusp of anti-woke/post-woke thinking. Too much noise by a small minority imposing their views on other (dare I say normal?) people has started to cause a feeling of "enough is enough". Long overdue in my view.

I do hope that will prove to be the case Andy, but I fear it will not. the whole of our establishment seems committed to upholding (and encouraging) these views, be schools, universities, courts, the police and most politicians.

JonC Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Is the hole/whole woke thing really that big a deal? I hear the words all the time but in reality I have very little experience of political correctness, I think the whole thing is vastly over exaggerated to gee up the masses against something that isn’t really there. Are gender neutral toilets really that big a deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just let the WOKERS much a fuss and pretend it does not matter, nobody really cares and before long the minority views just become the norm. I personally am sick of the way that these opinions are pushed at us from all directions. If you disagree with something your views should be expressed rather than just shrugging the matter off. THAT is the thin end of the wedge. GPS hit the nail on the head as to what gender you are. Geoff. Edited November 17, 2022 by Geoff missed out the word long.
