Political Correctness + Health and Safety + Liability = Pure Madness!

A friend of mine told me today that a recent history, it was a girl who was not allowed in the playground / play at a birthday party with friends, because she was an inch too high or something to those affected, and which was too high, for reasons of health and safety can only assume.

This country, together with the United States is on the brink of insanity when it comes to political correctness and health and safety standards, along with the new craze of quoting everyand everything possible, its outrageous! For example, I heard it's politically incorrect to refer to a table as a "slate", as perhaps seen as racist, for the love of God, is a board that is black and, therefore, a blackboard, it's crazy ! Another example is the phrase "Nitty Gritty", everyone would have thought it was just a normal way to say, but no, no, really politically correct to say in regard to the time of the slave trade, John Denham has had the misfortunediscovery of this in 2002! Also, I seem to recall some Christmas parties have been banned for fear of offending non-Christians! E 'can hardly believe it!

Changing the subject a little, a colleague and I were having an argument, and ultimately we were discussing whether or not it racist to call people of Pakistan, "Paki", many seem racist, but it is certainly different from the British call "English." There is no right or wrong answer to this,just all the different opinions and come to life!

I seem to remember the story of an American woman who spilled coffee on herself and burned herself, so demanded (and won) the bar or the shop where you bought it, and as a result of these times, when you buy a take away coffee, which "will realize that there are more labels that say" content, perhaps in hot or something that affects this. Let's face it, if the coffee was cold, then women must have been quite disappointed when you order a coffeehope will be hot! Then there was also the case of an American (again) the man who was on the road, when he put his car in cruise control just to stop and do something different when it crashed as expected, sued the company because clearly tell the cruise control does not actually drive the car for you .... another example of how this modern world is crazy, 20 years ago, courts would have laughed if he had a case like this comes! What's going on in thisworld, slowly but surely becoming a farce!

In any case, the question arises what is the point of this article, the point is that the United States along with Britain is drifting slowly into madness, what can we do about it, absolutely nothing, the only alternative seems .... migrate!
