Default Re: Piggy banks banned on Muslim fears

I agree with the comment in the article that most muslims woudln't seriously be offended by piggy banks.

Just like most Muslims aren't extremists and religious zealots (these people would be the only ones offended and not because its a pig but because it represents western culture), Most muslims wouldn't be offended by it.

I think most people in the world regardless of their religious beliefs, can at least be tolerant of other cultures.

The Entire PC movement has great intentions but like most movements is now going beyond the boundaries of their original intentions.

Equality among races - Fine, great idea even, But to boost up one race at the expense of knocking down and blaming others is going too far. For example, the piggy bank article, But in another example in Toronto city hall has banned xmas trees and you can't say merry christmas anymore... its season's greetings... seems like I'm sacrificing my background and culture just to not "offend" some people of i'm sure the vast majority don't give a fuck what you do on your own individual holiday.

Womens' rights - fine, great idea even, but its getting to the point where women's rights activists don't seem to be fighting for equality anymore and instead are pushing for female dominance.... what happens then? do we start a mens' rights movement when men are being supressed? No because that's not PC

These are just a few examples of where I think we're going too far with things and need to take a step back and say "Are we doing this for the majority? or to please a very very small segment of society?" These things get pushed through legislation because of that small minority that brings it up ... while the rest of the population remains silent because we dont' see it as a problem or one that would even come up.

Phew I'm done now.
