Maybe it's just my opinion, but how about TEACHING the children what the word actually means, instead of avoiding it?Tatersmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991481246363893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-90970900954701592292010-11-16T18:02:28.779-06:002010-11-16T18:02:28.779-06:00Hey AV...

It was my experience living 3 years in Ireland, in an area where there were always a lot of Brits, that they are the most politically incorrect people I've ever come across, so I don't think anyone has to worry that this will become a trend in the UK anytime soon. And as for Spotted Dick, it sure doesn't sound very appetizing, but then neither does Spotted Richard.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-71057132129513657132010-11-16T10:31:37.278-06:002010-11-16T10:31:37.278-06:00Hey Catman...

Thanks for posting a great article about how stupid our society has become with all this political nonsense. It has come to the point where I am afraid to even talk to another person for fear of offending them in some way because of PC. What has happened to our Society where everyone is offended because of something someone said or where holidays can't even be called by their original name (eg. Christmas Parade is now Holiday Parade or Merry Christmas is now Happy holidays) because someone doesn't like it?linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-86839159281653307532010-11-16T05:26:00.908-06:002010-11-16T05:26:00.908-06:00Circa 1970 in a small town near San Angelo Texas ...Circa 1970 in a small town near San Angelo Texas some church ladies were scandalized and outraged. They did not want their children to see the anatomically correct boy dolls offered for sale. The wags at work wondered aloud how some can loudly bray their piety and love of God and at the same time question His divine judgement in the design of people. They decided that the attitude of those ladies explains the very low population of that town.vladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434296343159953900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-18953614276701266922010-11-16T04:16:42.842-06:002010-11-16T04:16:42.842-06:00Just plain stupidity to change the name!
