    Interesting.

    Totally unrelated but have you even found yourself with an uncontrollable urge to pick up envelopes or milk-bottles that you may see?

    PC has definitely gone too far; you can't say anything these days.

    Edit: Oh sorry; that's all the other threads.

    I've inherited my family's age old racism, and their unsustainable, reactionary nonsense fills my head, leaving no room for reading comprehension.

    On an unrelated note, political correctness has gone mad, hasn't it?
