Political Correctness

Is it just me or has it just gone too far now? Advertised on one of the banners on this site a black singles dating site. If there was a whites only dating site there would be an almighty uproar surely.

And before anyone asks no I'm not a racist bigot white supremacist or any of that crap. I just feel that NO ONE should be excluded because of the colour of their skin, including white people

You're right Phil, but it's a factor of there being so many other minority things. In an effort to make special notice of achivements by minorities, which may have otherwise gone unnoticed in the larger general population, (things such as ebony awards, etc) they are telling people that's it's okay to have minority-only stuff. There are many scholarships that depend on the color of your skin, associations, awards, etc all meant to encourage minorities but doing so by separating them and treating them differently once again. It's a circular thing that promoting equality results in divisions for minorities instead of against them now.

And PS, yes some of the banner ads on this site are really over the top.

Yes, I agree. And I was a little afraid to respond! Hope that my agreeing that a lot of this has gone too far, didn't offend anyone!

Along with all of you; I am completely disgusted with some of the vile crap that has been posted on here. I am also hating the banners and pop-ups. These posters have pretty much overrun the General Chat Category and that is really sad. If I wanted porn, enhancer drugs, gambling rings etc I would look them up. BUT I DONT!! All I want to do is come here; post in peace, kvetch about my tummy bulge, and see how everyone else is doing. The second Aaron gets back; I am going to mail him and see if he can stop this. I know Susie has tried to PM him and hasnt gotten a response. I am sure his tour of duty has him busy and that is why we are here to "baby-site sit." (Oh that was bad...But not as bad as Jury Dooty!) I was still laughing about that at work today...Until then, dont worry...I am on SPAM PATROL! (Yes I will make you proud!) Wow, I am really slap/pun happy today....
