Political Correctness + Health and Safety + Liability = Pure Madness!

A friend of mine was telling me today of a story recently, it was about a girl that was not allowed into a playground/play area at a friends birthday party because she was 1 inch too tall or something to these affects, and because she was too tall, for health and safety reasons i can only assume, she was not allowed on the aparatus.

This country, along with America is verging on madness when it comes to political correctness and health and safety regulations, along with the new hobby of suing everybody and everything you possibly can, its outrageous! For instance, I have heard that it is politically incorrect to refer to a chalk board as "black board" as it maybe seen as racist, for goodness sake, it's a board that is black and hence a black board, its crazy! Another example is the phrase "nitty gritty", anyone would have thought that was just a normal saying, but no, its not politically correct to say it as it refers to the times of the slave trade, John Denham, had the misfortune of discovering this in 2002! Furthermore, I seem to remember that some Christmas parties were banned in fear of offending non Christians! It hardly can be believed!
Changing the topic slightly, another colleague and I were having a discussion, and to put it briefly we were discussing whether or not it was racist to call people from Pakistan, "Paki's", to many it appears racist, but surely, is it any different from calling the British "Brits". There is not a right or wrong answer with this, its all just opinions and different takes on life!

I seem to remember a story of an American women who spilt coffee on herself and scalded herself and so sued (and won) the cafe/shop where she had bought it from and as a result these days when you buy a take away coffee, you'll notice there are always labels saying "contents maybe hot" or something to that affect. Lets face it if the women’s coffee had been cold then she'd have to be pretty disappointed, when you order a coffee you'd expect it to be hot! Then there was also the case of an American (again) man who was on the highway, when he put his vehicle onto cruise control, only to stop driving and do something else, when crashed as expected, he sued the company as it did not clearly say that cruise control did not actually drive the car for you....another example of how this modern world has gone crazy, 20 years ago, the judges would have just laughed if a case such as this had come along! What is happening to this world, slowly but surely its becoming farcical!

Anyway, you may be wondering what the point of this article is, the point is that the United States Along with England is slowly drifting into insanity, what can we do about this, absolutely nothing, the only alternative, emigrate!
