On here, online it is a bit different because by signing up for the T & Cs you have signed up to restrictions voluntarily. Much as I might sometimes like to I can't call someone at "total expletive" lol, not with impunity ;-) |

I'm always more than happy to be disagreed with during a debate....quite happy to hear another point of view without getting my knickers in a twist .. |

Stray, I nearly said that you only have to read the GR T&C or T&C on any web site where you can interact with any another human to confirm that we have NO Freedom of Speech. |

Laws on racial discrimination, sex descrimination etc are there for a reason though, and I am glad that they are. There is nothing "politically correct" about ensuring, for example, that men and women have the same employment rights, it should go without saying of course...but since it didn't laws had to be made. The same applies to race sexual orientation and religion. |

Ohhhhhhh dont' get me started on PC. The PC brigade are jsut do-gooders who take delight in being offended on BEHALF of other people, never mind whether those people are actually offended or not. |

Freedom of speech ended in this country when politicians and the PC brigade started interfering and legislating because they did not like their OWN interpretation of what was being said, |

Catching up lol...People can get very touchy and think any comment about a subject is aimed at them, when quite often it's a general comment not aimed at anyone in particular. |
