Do we live in a nanny state or what ?

Question

Do we live in a bloody nanny state nowadays or what ? I have posted a joke on here and people are going mad at me. Ok I admit a little close to the bone but for godsake lets lighten up !!! I have the feeling that the people complaining are the type that would cancel the Office Christmas decorations or party because you have a member of staff from an 'ethnic minority'

may cause some debate this one but freedom of speech is one of the priveledges we enjoy in the West. I am from the U.K so my views and sense of humour may be different to the Americans on here.

I agree Pk - I am gettin well cheesed off with all the news stories of towns in the UK not being allowed christmas decorations and stuff because it 'OFFENDS'

When in Rome i belive is the saying !!!

I understand what you say Mr Ed ....... totally but there is always so much controversy over so little so lighten up as I understand that but as i said .... I was Joking not making a statement or stirring up a hornets nest

Answer 1

You are correct. We in the US have become PC wimps. We cannot say anything that offends anyone, we have to love people sneaking across our boarders, and, God forbid, we can't profile people who have caused 90% of the terrorist acts against the Western World. Oh, oh...I'll probably be booted off for my answer. All I can say is when was the last time a Lutheran blew himself up in the name of God?

Answer 2

definite. when you consider which you don't understand what's top for you. merely Barack and Michelle Obama understand what's top for you. Now close up, take a seat and consume your low sodium vegetables. Oh, and by employing the way, you would be paying taxes for 8 months out of the 300 and sixty 5 days for this privilege. that's what that's in different 'greater' and 'enlightened' international locations that have comparable wellbeing care schemes. we will forget with regard to the undeniable fact that even with tax expenses interior the sixty 5% variety, they are nevertheless going broke. Being a parent to the individuals is an costly challenge!

Answer 3

We live in a state where parents don't know how to take care of their children.My wife works in a day care and some parents bring the child in with a fever,snotty nose and then lie it's just an allergy,well if it is just an allergy why the heck has it cost me over 500 bucks for doctors visits and perscriptions.
So yes the parents re too lazy to raise children so they get a nanny to raise them.

Answer 4

I just checked your previous question or "joke".
It is rather silly.
For a Jew to make a joke about Jews or a black to make a joke about blacks is quite acceptable. However, particularly in the case of Jews, who have been tormented, mass murdered, rejected, over the centuries, I think your "joke" is rather insensitive, to say the least. Perhaps you need to learn to put yourself in another person's situation. Not someone making that joke about Brits, for instance, but if your family, ancestors, had gone through what Jews have gone through just for being Jews. Would you appreciate a remark like the one you made?

Answer 5

Watch out ........big brother is watching!,it`ll be room 101 for you!
