» Political Correctness Gone Mad
PC
I worked in a school last year, and attended various staff meetings about acceptable terms. 'Brain Storm' is now unacceptable because it may cause offense to those prone to epilepsy, so we now use 'Mind Map'.
I asked a year 10 student who suffered from epilepsy what they thought about this and he said "It's more offensive that whoever writes this crap thinks that epileptics would get offended by 'brain storm' in the first place!...what the fuck is a 'mind map' anyway!?"

May not be a racist, but she does get around...
In the local paper was this...the story is about 30-year old man was racially abused and assulted by her neighbour
"She was calling me a smelly paki and a nigger and to go back to Iraq and Afghanistan. I felt sad for her, I was born in Kuwait and been in this country since I was three"
She denied being racist or making racist remarks - "I was very drunk but I'm not a racist. I've been with a half-caste and a negro. In terms of boyfriends I've had every race under the sun"
Not only did she used the words "half-caste" and "negro" in a Magistrates court, but her argument that she isn't a racist is based on her having slept with a man of every different race...that's quite a few isn't it?

School is the best place for lies...
When I was at school a girl claimed she was having a relationship with the singer of a pop band. She claimed she met him backstage when she went to see them in London, they kissed and exchanged details. She then "went to Canada" over a weekend (!) and he put his fingers her bottom and wrote her a letter to show everyone at school that didn't believe her. One kid searched her name in an IT lesson and found pages upon pages of a fabricated diary describing the intimate details of their relationship and how no-one believed the story at school. Being the technical whiz he was, he sent the pages to every printer in the school about 20 times and emailed it to the board of governers. Kids can be so cruel.
