Ninjamom, thanks for the explanation! We've just had a new student to our childrens classes, he's American, his dad is a military exchange officer so it's handy having a translator available lol! when I know them a little better I shall ask what differences they find between us and America especially with things like PCness!. I shall of course pass on details of MT!
One of my shift partners says he's PC...he hates everyone and everything, he doesn't discriminate!
:ultracool
 
Political Correctness is the idea that language represents thought and that by changing it we can control thought.

Stamp out ideas unliked by branding them as bigoted or wrong headed instead of debating them on their merits.

The political version of brain washing.

I remember hearing somewhere that the word government derives from ancient greek meaning to control mind. Dunno how true it is but on that sort of a basis it's pretty likely, eh?
 
Next person to get all serious here is going to get beaten by a Moris Dancer with a rather large leek.

Great... vegetables again...

Can't we at least learn to defend against a pointy stick or something?!
 
Gotta watch out for those leeks, trust me when I say there is nothing more dangerous than a disgruntled geriatric shopper with a bag of vegetables!
 
Just make sure there isn't a black pudding lurking in there too ... then again, the large flat cap is a dead give-away of the skilled Ecky-Thumper so that gives you enough warning to steer clear :D.

I don't think it does considering Ancient Greek Governments. Maybe if our Ancient Greek Political Philosophers were Spartan. But, since they were from Athens (mostly), which invented Democracy, I find it somewhat hard to beleive. But, I do know that 'aracy' (as in An'arcy', Demo'cracy', Mon'archy'), means 'rule' or 'ruler'.
 
I have to admit right now....I am PC.
But only because I haven't had time to figure out my Macs. :D

Spartans...Greeks....Next thing you'll be asking is if we've seen a pack of trojans.
What are we, a pharmacy? ;)
 
That is a good point, that said, look at Alexander the Great. If there was any more reason for a guy to want to boost his ego, it would be by having control over the masses...

No no no. The pharmacy is another site, one where you have to be on some serious crack to fit in. We're just high on life here....really....ignore that smoke...it's nothing.....hey, anyone else hungry?

Actually, yea... I thought I'd wander out of the pharmacy area into the deli, and get a sandwich - see how many meats I can pile on one slice of bread - diversity, y'know!

Well, you could always use a slice of dark rye on one side, and white bread on the other to increase the diversity!
