There is a very disturbing movement, often emanating from student unions and other radical groups, which seeks to impose censorship on the masses with no mandate whatsoever whilst judging what is best for society and then imposing their will. Whether it be taking offence at the words of an old song, banning a list of popular fancy dress outfits, finding clapping inappropriate or a host of other actions which they wish to ban. It is easy to dismiss these people as loonies but history tells us that this can grow into something far more sinister if left unchecked. It’s a disturbing trend IMO.It is what Rowan Atkinson refers to in his videod speech as “a creeping culture of censoriousness” by “self-appointed arbiters of the public good”
Hmmm. I don't think that's news to be honest. I wouldn't worry as most of them are never let anywhere near real power until they grow up, and then most of them become Conservatives. This kind of thing has been going on in university student unions since the 60's, and nothing has ever come of it.
I know a lot of serious animal welfare people, and I don't think a single one of them has a good word to say about PETA, other than by accident.
The only people who are going to be offended by any of those phrases are people who are looking for an excuse. Or possibly a Jew or a Muslim if you asked whether they were bringing home the bacon, I suppose.
I started this thread as a genuine enquiry of vegans/vegetarians as to whether they find those phrases offensive. Those that have responded do not, so far, seem to find them so. If they did I would respect their view.
My personal concern is that of certain groups or individuals wishing to impose their ideologies on others. It seems to me that is what PETA is doing in this instance but I’m open to other opinions.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
