"It's political correctness gone mad."

Jan 30, 2010 11:25 PM By Ally , In ,

These days, every other thing you say is discriminatory towards someone, which is exactly why Mrs. Nicole Mamo worded her advert for hospital staff very carefully.

Except now, apparently asking for 'hard working' and 'reliable' applicants is offensive to those who are lazy, unreliable and generally completely useless.

It makes me wonder what the world is coming to when employers can't ask for qualities which are desirable for any job. It's ridiculous, and it'll get to the point where 'IT technician required. Must know how to use a computer.' will be considered politically incorrect.

"She's going down the Amazon on a raft with ten naked men."
[About someone who's daydreaming rather than paying attention in class.]


"She's going down the Amazon on a raft with twenty naked men."
[Wait, what?! It went up?!]


"I don't agree with it, personally, but I'm an old fart."

Hi everyone

I was procrastinating from my revision for my exam tomorrow when I came across a article on the BBC news website about Internet Explorer being used to give people Trojan Horses and that this code was behind a attack on Google. This has resulted in both the German and French governments advising people not to use Internet Explorer and Google has announced it might with draw from China as it is believed that the attacks might probably originated from there.

Anyone have any opinions?
