illegal 'love'

beanzbeanz
edited April 2008 in Chit chat
My dad told me via Skype this weekend that calling someone 'love' is now illegal, so you cant say 'another cup of tea please love'.

He also said staring at a womans breasts is illegal too (presumably he can still stare at my mums /shudder).

Is this true and how can they enforce a law of where your eyes are pointing?!

    No it's not. That sounds like a story the Daily Mail has concocted. I suppose a woman could make a sexual harrassment claim if someone at work repeatedly stared at their breasts, but that would be awfully difficult to prove in court.

    Like all the stuff the Daily Wail and other tabloids do is take some piece of legislation or court case completely out of proportion, so if a woman who's the subject of bullying ends up winning the case which includes sexual harrassment from a man who kept calling her 'love' or stared at her breasts, their collective knees jerk so hard they could kick a football to the moon, and then they expand it to include ALL causal uses of the word 'love' with zero evidence that this is in fact the case.

    Yeah my dad is a big Daily Mail reader...I told him it sounded like a load of bollox which made him mad as he believes everything in the Mail.

    women like being called love, or flower, or babe. its a term of affection. also women like to show off their tits, just like the girls on page three.

    Yes, the topic title was picked to target a certain section of the WOS community and so gain the most hits.

    not only the title, but the thread poster. if psj had started the thread we would guess it was all innocent, but as its you one would assume you have been having sex with a goat or someother barnyard animal. baaaaaa.

    Well don't cry wolf too often or you will lose the insightful comments and guidance that a certain section of the WoS contingent can provide. Lets have more 'My young gf is preggo' or 'should I shop the AIDs singer' threads please and less of the Daily Mail dad.

    Noted.


    Edit: Oh and to bring you up to speed, my young g/f is no longer preggo and the aids singer is still out and about and apparently the cops don't care....however he has had a change of heart and told a few of the girls of his condition and says he is not going to do it anymore.

    I thought it was going to be about the special love between a fat lass and her pony.

    Well there you go, wrong again.

    This'll be the story that he no doubt read:

    Here.


    Since my missus lost her business (in fact before that, when she knew she would be leaving) she took a job in a local pub so she could reassess her life and decide what to do next.

    They were talking about this in there the other night, saying that they'll no longer be allowed to ask for "a pint of Carling, darling".

    All a load of old b*llocks to me though.

    I get called sweetie all the time here in USA..it's kinda cute. I don't like this PC nonsense. I get called other things sometimes..but very rarely these days..I wish it was more PC about that...like sweetie was the last thing on the mind of the two thugs I ran into in Chicago..well..they got to find drugs money off somebody..even in -4F. Luckily, ten years in Scotland taught me something, which was to kick one of them in the balls and high tail it.

    PC..or not PC, that is the question.
    I stole it off a space ship.

    Because most people who own a Spectrum have been in prison at some point for having a threesome with their sister and a goat.

    surely if it was a daily mail headline it would have ended with "and you're paying for it"

    you obviously haven't got the hang of the daily mail headline game yet :D

    I had a headache at work last week. I went to see the woman in payroll as i knew she would have some painkillers. I went into the office and asked for the painkillers, she opened the drawer and said "Take them. I can't give them to you beacuse that's assault'. I asked why and she said it was something to do with political correctness, and was the company policy (not naming the company here but they're very big and very well known) Can someone please tell me why if someone gives me painkillers it can be classed as assault? It's beyond me.

    I thought we spoke about spectrums in the Chit Chat forum and about football/cricket in Games ? ;)

    Anyway that 'illegal love' thing, did you read the story the other week of that australian couple (father/daughter) marrying ? Obviously thats bad, they even had kids (!) but what was even worse was she was a shocking munter. Not saying i would marry my daughter if she looked like Angelina Jolie but you know what i mean !

    Doubtful. They'll probably get them for practising medicine without a license instead.
