Censorship

Post by nthnbeachesguy » Mon Dec 19, 2005 8:36 am

This isnt intended to be an inflammatory post in any way but the censorship of the word L eb has kinda got me flabbergasted.

If im from australia i am an australian or aussie for short.

If im from lebanon i am lebanese or l eb for short.

I am failing to see how this could be seen as a racial slur unless of course being called an aussie is also a racial slur? To mind it is the use of other words/adjectives in conjunction with the abbreviated or slang name for someone that constitutes the racial slur eg: u f__king ethnic slur goes here or u aussie w__ker etc.

Seems like the political correctness thing has gotten out of hand again, just in case the overly sensitive types are confronted in any way cause we couldnt have that so close to xmas ha ha!
