      this was sent to me as a Christmas greeting from a friendrolleyes.gif It made me giggle but the reality is , has has such a ring of truth .

      Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the summer solstice holiday, practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

      I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that Australia is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

      By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

      This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

      have you come across anything similar?? or stories of Political correctness ( not sure if thats a word ) gone mad??

        That's pretty funny – I think you can find many other examples by simply reading the 'terms and conditions' of the next website you visit!

        I wonder why we're getting so hung up on political correctness these days? It is because societies are generally becoming more diverse and so we're making an extra effort to not be discriminatory but are going too far? Is it down to fear of legal repercussions? I wonder that has triggered all this?

          Money and how much one can win from a law suit ,,,,,that would be my guess….and we are becoming so easily offended at everything thats said….

          example…. in Aus its ok to say I have my coffee black or white ,,,in the USA you are looked at like you have committed a cardinal sin if you say that,,,,,

          I mean ,,black , white ,,,its just a color lol ,,, we are having to watch every word we speak. ,,,Take me for instance I travel a fair bit; and am constantly having to take my left foot out of my mouth whilst I carefully make apologies for said (( booboos)) and then in the same breath I find I have erred again and have to put my right in. unsure.gif,,,,,all so confusing and amusing at the same time hehehe

            My Mum works at a Primary school and all the teaching staff have been told to be careful about how they ask for teas and coffees. For example, instead of a white coffee, they have to ask for a 'coffee with milk'. For black, 'coffee without'.

            Who'd have thought Coffee beans were so sensitive! 😮

              LOL – The coffee things is a bit ridiculous. I often see Gingerbread Men referred to as Gingerbread People now – did women really feel left out, or were men upset at being associated with a ginger treat?!
