You hit the nail right on the head, eh. Yep, political correctness is MOSTLY a buncha bullshit. I'm from Cape Breton, known as a "Caper", and across the water is Newfoundland, where people were always called "Newfies". We have always had nicknames, (rather names of endearment) and suddenly this band of paid govt workers tell us we can no longer call ourselves this - in the political correct world this is considered slander. Well the political correctness world can shove it up their ass. I can understand some words shouldn't be said - My Mom taught me respect FOR EVERYBODY and if most people had common sense, they wouldn't use SLANDER, but this is just going too far. Every town, village in our vast provinces have nicknames and now these well earned nicknames cannot be used. Call me a "Caper"- that's what I am. Dynamite Poem Gail - well done, well said. lol
Very good, something to think on. Let us celebrate the gift God give us together, the lord Jesus Christ..Merry Christmas and may God bless you real good, best gift I ever received was fro God, his only begotten son Jesus Christ, my Saviour and the one who took my sin away.
You are spot on. All of us are created by God and loved by God, and none of us are better than the next person, regardless of...anything...but there is so much evil in this world. It is a scary time in which we live.

A name or no name.. a word. so much lies in the word. But the real issues are more disturbing.
