    This is not a political comment from me...it's more a cry for the return
    of sensible reasoning.

    Amen.

    Perhaps the world hasn't gone mad, or any madder (I know that's not a word) than it was anyway. We find ourselves in a age where social media has given a voice to any idiot who can pick up a mobile phone. This is worsened by the fact that traditional MSM seems to take that way to seriously and gives it far too much attention.

    It's left us in a state where credence given to people who are whackos, who previously would've just scrawled something on the toilet walls. We all must've noticed, there's no graffiti in the gents anymore. Instead, people go on twitter. And the world listens.

    And of course political correctness means that there is now only one side to a discussion, because Political Correctness directs the argument regardless of what you really think.

    The proof of the statement regarding Facebook and Twitter resides in a big white house.....being a twit was always another term for an idiot.

    It's the fact that political correctness provides a screen behind which some real nut jobs can hide.
    There's no doubt that lots of terminology needed to be binned but when you can be vilified for referring to a ship as a she then the loonies have taken over the asylum;)
    As for me I'm perfectly happy for people to be 'politically incorrect' then I can make my own mind up about them and their opinions. I don't need anyone to do it for me.

    History's a pendulum. In an attempt to set right the obvious wrongs it (she?) has swung too far. Little point trying to stop it; it's heavy. But it will swing back again.

    If you put 'twit' into Google you'll also get the following ...
    lummox, klutz, putz, schlemiel, sap, meatball, gink, cluck, clunk, ding-dong, dingbat, wiener, weeny, dip, simp, spud, coot, palooka, poop, squarehead, yo-yo, dingleberry, wing nut, drongo, dill, galah, nong, bogan, poon, boofhead, mompara, tomfool, noddy, clodpole, loggerhead, spoony, mooncalf, plus a variety of what are termed ‘vulgar slang’, which I’ve refrained from printing.
    Take your pick of any of these 'hats' ... they all fit (some better than others).

    Cheers,
    Andrew
