Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger Maybe so. But the creep of ever increasingly loony PC crap is continuous and will get more loony until someone has the balls to stand up to it. I think most of the pc crap you refer to is myth, just like the winterval nonsense that the Times, Telegraph and Mail LIED about.

The 'steal bargains at the sales' previously discussed is a prime example. To try to twist that into a racist statement is simply absurd nonsense. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Yep nothing wrong with foreigners steal in a sentence is there. Most people are said to grab bargains. All very subtle and it all adds up.

You have just proved our point for us. If you seriously believe that the use of the word 'steal' in the context it was used is racist, then you might as well also believe in the 'racist' PC analysis I gave of the Mail's Palace-Everton report. The left these days is a laughing stock. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Originally posted by nickgusset It's not racist as such, but has negative connotations. Like I said all very subtle. It's just a phrase like 'steal a march on' or 'steal a yard'. It is only in the minds of the politically correct that it has 'negative connotations'. But even if it did have 'negative connotations', is it only permissible to express negative connotations about those people or things on a PC approved list?
