Re: Big brother will watch you
Back to Big Brother.
Public servants have to earn their living somehow, making up new laws and rule is one.
Political correctness is on the march, yet again.
Transgender persons, of which some 0.03% of the Australian population acknowledge to have to be considered according to the public service.
To meet this requirement they have are holding sessions to explain how it will operate.
The terms, he, she, wife, brother, sister will be removed from dialogue.
They will be replaced with the terms they or them.
So if you want to say,
My wife, she has gone shopping it would be replaced by
My they, them have gone shopping.
I now fully understand why I am bald, nothing to do with Testosterone, it comes from pulling my hair out in desperation.
Were this April 1 we would understand, but this is serious I kid you not.

Re: Big brother will watch you
They strike again!!!!!!!!
The latest. a directive has been issued to the Armed forces senior officers.
No longer will you be allowed to use the terms, He, She, when speaking of other members of the armed forces.
Doing so may alienate those of the GLBTQI brigade of which there is at present 0.01% in the armed forces.
But wait there is more.
A person, born a man but now, after a nip and tuck job and hormone treatment which has given him boobs daisy the cow would be proud of, has spoken out.
Taking a court order he is now to be officially named as a female to be referred to as either she or miss.
But not content with just that, she is going to take action of some form against the PC brigade who in her words are,
'Creating a society so f** it is afraid to speak out against these hidden away un-known creatures who are attempting to create a society where no one any longer knows who or what they are'.

Re: Big brother will watch you
How does the medical profession get to Describe the bits and pieces of different genitalla , when doing transplants do they just put in a request for a bit of waterworks of any type. If I was the recipient of such I would tend to. Demand a large one. But would be sorry if they sent the wrong type and would probably get known as slack Alice. Have you ever heard so much pure idiocy. Sodom and Gomarrah must have been like these people before the walls collapsed on them, and later followed by the collapse of the Roman Empire. Next one on the list is the failure of the. Western society through trying to alter the laws of nature and the collapse of law and order. JWS

Re: Big brother will watch you
John mate, law and order is slowly slipping away, eaten by those who would practice social engineering.
That is what is occurring now with all the PC crap we are bombarded with daily.
There is a minority who think their way is the correct way and we should all fall into line with them.
One of the major problems is that the media give these idiots air time.

Re: Big brother will watch you
#29 Probably the other extreme John, lack of food , living with their own livestock those that had such. No immune systems as such. Those that shared their homes with pigs probably caught swine fever and died pig sick. The same as the stature of today’s humans is much bigger than it was even a 100 years ago. Everything changes some call it progress , others climate change, and others who don’t care just drink more beer and say God give me strength. Look at the progress we are making in deciding that everthing is sexless, don’t know what the French are going to do, as every thing in their language is je tu Il, or Elle and that’s only singular. Even the Spanish are going to have to think hard about their Senors and Senoritas. Bring back the penny oxo cube and we will all be healthy again. Cheers JS.

Re: Big brother will watch you
Healthy, wealthy and wise, but who would know?
Healthy people are said to eat the right food, do exercises, drink little alcohol and die just the same.
Wealthy, have money, live the good life but when they get sick all the money will not stop a major disease from knocking them off.
Then the wise, just like us who do not give a rats a*** about any of it, get as full as a boot now and then now and then enjoy to the life, and guess what they die as well, but had a bloody good time getting there.
