Political Correctness Rant

You are putting my anti depressant bill UP.  Collateral  damage?  Nev

I understand Stacey's complaint about smoking ceremonies and welcome ceremonies being carried out by indigenous representatives.

 

Firstly, I find it hypocritical for indigenous people to 'welcome' us. After all they claim we are the descendants of unwelcome invaders!

Why are welcoming us now? Is all forgiven?

 

Secondly I do not see the logic behind having a bunch of strangers pretending to welcome me to the land where I was born.

I bet you can’t buy that backyard incinerator kit from the hardware shop any more.

What does proud mean? I see lots of people described as 'a proud nunanjali man' or similar. Does that mean there are embarrassed Nunanjali men? Can I be a proud Irish man?

I made a smokeless incinerator from two 44-gallon drums. It's the one on the right at the start of this video

When I was last in Alice Springs, only indigenous people were allowed to have fires. Opposite us was a continually smoking " comfort" fire, yet we were not allowed to have anything similar.

We ( the missus and me ) were fixing up a previously black-tenanted house which had got burned in a fire. It ( the house ) was a tilt-slab place with the only timber used for roof trusses.

The black family tenants were good people according to the neighbors, although they certainly had nothing like a garden. So they had no hose to put out the fire and they sat on the fence watching it.

Maybe they are LGBTIQ.

At my dad's funeral, the celebrant described him as a "proud Yorkshire man"

I can't really see the problem with the word proud.
