@SpartanPict But what is wrong with policeofficer as opposed to policeman? or policewoman or policeman....it's really not a big deal...and language has POWER.
I'm not big huge on stand-up comedy, but i enjoy the observational humor of those such as Bill Hicks and George Carlin. Honestly, I just found out who Bill Connelly is today. Hell, I guess I've probably heard the name before, probably even seen some of his material in my younger years, I don't fuckin know.....I'm a bottle of wine deep, and hes been with me the entire way. Funny, funny, funny shit, is all I can say. I have found a diamond in my rough....
It's binman because the only people working for the councils emptying household bins are men. It's one of a long line of jobs that women can't be arsed to do or thinks is beneath them.
There's something else at work here - the glorification of mediocrity (which goes hand in hand with the dumbing down of our populations). Now anyone can have a grand sounding job title. "Nail Technician" just about takes the biscuit as far as I'm concerned.
@Cathain78 if I were studying for a nvq in nail technology , i'd be quite offended by your remarks. But I'm not, so fuck them! sanitation consultant = toilet cleaner is my personal fav
Though I agree with most of what Billy is saying (not the Ms. bit, but whatever...), the term 'cultural marxism' is stupid; in what way is it Marxism? Marxism is an economic theory.
@ourhandsaretied Marxism moved away from economic theory when Lukacs asked, "who will save us from western civilisation?" Then it turned into the Frankfurt School Cultural Marxism.
@xxCrazySmooth What is so hard about policewoman as opposed to policeman to address a female officer??wtf it's not that hard. ..language has power. You wouldn't call a black person the N word?And that is being politically correct...not a bad thing really?? And if u hate conformist society stop telling people NOT to be politically correct. People can be what they want.
Hilarious, Connoly knows his audience well . Telling in a funny way to the nastiest, most politically correct women in the world (Germans excepted of course, but they don't know about humour) the weaknesses of their mantra. NZ men please reclaim your balls, teach your women some respect, or reclaim some for yourselves. It amounts to the same thing.
@JamesDonnelly90 the pope & his church (& all the other various hun so-called "christian" churches) have been traitors to their dead judean carpenter for about the last 17 - 1800 years.
@EctoJedi Beige-ist is someone who has a stick up their ass about things being gender biased... Everything has to be completely gender neutral. It can't be 'fireman', 'garbageman', or 'manhole' because those terms lean toward a specific gender. It has to be 'fire fighter', 'waste management specialist' or 'sewer access portal'. All because people are so damn scared of offending each other... Its not the offending people that need to stop, its easily offended that need to chill the fuck out...
@teajay74 |: Why the animosity for such a great comedian. If you upset about political correctness Tim Michin who is probably the best Aussie comic there ever will be. He uses an anagram of Nigger for one of his best jokes. So my advice to you is to grow up and get a life you pathetic fucktard.
fucking yes! I love a comedian going apeshit like this... I think a few lines here are directly inspired by George Carlin from his "Doin' It Again" show... which I'd recommend for any Billy fans. would love to have seen them both together!
Man I don't feel alone now. I thought I was only man left that thought this PC crap was stupid.. I said the word fat and I was told being fat is a illness like cancer. So I can't call anybody fat anymore.. I hope some people start standing up for freedom of speech and tell these PC people where to go..
I'm not a rasist, but I'm not politically correct, hell no, I'm a writer, freedom of speech and freedom of thought! If you think I'm a prick, then there you go, freedom of thought!
Billy is a funny bastard, not his best work, but a good show regardless.
@cymruisrael You mean there was a time when he WASN'T foul-mouthed? WHEN was that? And point two - do you sing "the big fire engine goes NEE-NAA" to your children? You're wearing a cardigan and use a memory pad for work, don't you?
@DuffPaddy1 I have watched that routine. While I would probably subscribe on Mr Lee's standpoint from a political point of view, he didnt make me laugh. I am German, and Billy has said some really crass things about Germans - I still laughed. Comedy's purpose is to make you laugh - and for me, that's a task Billy unfalteringly no matter the topic succeeds in every time, whereas Mr Lee just comes across preachy. I do not like being preached to by comedians.
@WiseMonkey888 - hahahahaha. I am an Aussie and I married a Scot. Fuck!! - am I learning the Scots language!!!! And the attitude!!!!! Fuck me!!! I never swore 'til I came to these shores!! So I have learned to appreciate Billy Connolly. He's worth it!!
@GoddyofWar I am desperately trying not to analyse the Scots!!! I would become even more confused than I am now. The humour is great, the belligerence is mind boggling and the tempestuousness is wearying to say the least. But I love the country!! So, what are you to do?? I'll stay! Hahahahaha.
You make a good point, "political correctness" can mean those things too, but I still think the positives of political correctness (such a vague, dumbass term) outway the negatives. The language issues that you point to are at worst, slightly irritating.
But the less ignorant and more respectfull way that minorities are referred to now, in comparison to 50 years ago, is of far greater importance than the language issues you raise.
I'm a massive fan of Billy Conolly but he's way out on this one. I think there's some real confusion in what political correctness actually means. Silly people changing the names on man hole covers etc is not actually politial correctness at all. PC is about not using bad language to describe certain groups of people. I.e, not calling gay people poofs or Irish Americans Micks.

@Manics1989 - Not quite. It is also about de-genderising objects and functions in order to supposedly destroy sexual stereotypes; the 'man' (male) becomes 'person' (neuter). Hence manhole>personhole, chairman>chairperson (or chair), blackboard>chalkboard, mankind>humankind It's the inorganic manipulation of language to alter sexual/racial/social perspectives, and it's Cultural Marxism crap.
However, the truck Connoly refers to as bleeping in reverse is not a PC issue, it's health & safety.
