Won't damage his career sort of thing.

Eg. Drugs are bad, Asylum seekers are welcome, Capital Punishment is bad etc.

People get shot down all the time cause others think they're using the phrase wrong so can we just clarify right now what it actually means?]]> Political correctness gone mad! https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2055760608/political-correctness-gone-mad Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:46:36 +0000 After Hours glynn888 2055760608@/discussions Any one left here at all with any cop on?

A British teacher has been arrested in Sudan for letting her children name a teddy bear Mohammed, the British Embassy in Sudan said today.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, was detained yesterday on suspicion of insulting Islam’s prophet.

The teacher let her class of seven-years-olds choose the name as part of a school project.

A British Foreign Office spokeswoman said: “We can confirm a British national was arrested by police in Sudan yesterday. We are providing consular assistance.”


What?? I'm not trying to start a religious debate here. I just didn't know that you couldn't name something or someone Mohammed. I know people called Mohammed and they are of Islamic faith. Can someone explain?]]>
