World’s Best Definition of Political Correctness

8 Feb 2013

I saw this headline today, which took my attention.
There's an annual contest at the Griffith University, Australia, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term was 'political correctness '.
The winning student wrote:
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end."
What are others views on this subject? rotflmao

I wonder is it is just the UK education system that adopts plagiarism as an offence that can Subject students to sanctions like expulsion?
Although seems it isn't the only thing the Australians seem to be cheating at with the recent news events.

I think the Aussies are far far behind the cheating antics of other countries. Unfortunately it seems that in sport anyway the need to cheat is huge. Lance Armstrong, Ben Johnson, London Rugby's Harlequins take cheating to a whole new level. The diving in our national game etc etc.
They are just ones that come easily to mind and there are a zillion more examples. So no point pinpointing just the Aussies, as it would seem they are all at it.

Well there could possibly be one or two not at it, but have yet to find them.
But say Tory toffs a bit quieter, as you never know who will get a bit upset over it. You know how super sensitive some people can be on here. wink

The speaker gives the impression of uttering involuntarily a truth which may surprise, shock, or offend.

I think there is a huge difference of individual players being catch than A country being accused from a report by the country's Crime Commission.
The use of performance-enhancing drugs – in some cases facilitated by organised crime – was unearthed in a landmark, year-long investigation. In what's been described as a major blow to professional sport's integrity in Australia, the ACC found that the use of banned drugs had been "orchestrated and condoned" by coaches, sports scientists and support staff across multiple sporting codes.
I never pinpointed the Aussies their own Crime Commission has done it.
Incase you don't keep up with news you might want to listen to this link

I feel deeply sorry for the sports people there that are innocent of taking anything they have all been tarnished it seems and not by me.
