Perhaps the Oxford University Bodleian Library should go through every one of their historical tomes and insert a warning text wherever necessary stating that:
"This book was printed between 1352 and 1361 (dates as appropriate) and contains some offensive and discriminatory language which reflects the prevailing attitudes of the time."

After all, if anyone is going to be offended it will be the young snowflake students who have been successfully brainwashed to object against anything not politically accredited by their supervising lefty academics.
Absolutely ridiculous.

I don't think we are posting racist/homophobic remarks, well I haven't anyway. We are merely saying that all of this gender-neutral nonsense has gone too far. We are not singling out anybody for being gay, lesbian, bi, or whatever.
If Piers Morgan can use his right to freedom of speech on national television at 7am in the morning I'm sure we can express our non-liberal views also. We are only talking common sense and saying what most people believe is right in society.

No not at all. Why does anybody have the right to silence us and tell us what we can and cannot say.
We are within the boundaries of common sense and unless we deliberately set out to insult people on purpose then nobody should be allowed to tell us what to say. Never back down to anybody who thinks they have more authority than you do wirhout them giving a viable reason for why they do so.

I agree, Mags, and I'm sure most of us are wise enough to stay within the boundaries of forum rules

The trouble is, all this rubbish is turning people against each other because they are sick of hearing about it.

We'll always have arguments mate. On forums and as when we are real people in daily life. People have different personalities (unless you are Dutch) and we disagree. They are sick of hearing about stuff everywhere so that's why they want to say their piece.
At the end of the day though, we're all on this planet together (for now). However much we argue and fight, we all eat, sleep and sh!t.
