I have to agree with you Ratty on Political Correctness, I think PC has gone much too far, such as my niece was taught to sing "Baa Baa Woolly Sheep" ( or maybe it was dark sheep) It seems as if whatever you say someone somewhere will be offended by it, even if no offence was intended. Here's my politally incorrect nursery ryhme
Ten stoned hippies sitting on a wall, Ten stoned hippies sitting on a wall And if one stoned hippy should accidentlly fall, there'd be nine stoned hippies sitting on a wall.
Carry on 'til you get no stoned hippies sitting on the wall .
That's a bit unPC as it assumes all hippies are stoned .
As for human rights I agree with you Ratty no one should be killed/shot whilst trying to do their job, and the scumbag who shot and killed the policeman should NOT be entitled to any human rights, reduction in his sentence. I must admit I've lost alot of respect for the police, they tried to say my now ex husband stole money from his neighbours purse, which was an impossibility for a severely disabled wheelchair user. I just finished an evening shift when I worked at the old folks home, and was lying in at 7.30am , when I had a knock on my door , (I was expecting a delivery) , but there were about 4 or 5 officers with a warrant for the arrest of the previous tenant, and I hated the was it was implied I was his girlfriend. I know of one case where a neighbour was pulled over by the police and thay done him for driving without insurance, even though he had paid the premiums up to date and had a valid motor insurance certificate, but this didn't show up on the police computer, so he was fined and had six points on his licence, despite it not being his fault, if you know the premiums have been taken and you have posession of an insurance certificate, you would naturally assume you're insured to drive your car.
