Then why did you even bother replying?
What was ‘politically correct’ about that?
Ridiculous, certainly, but if people want to do stupid things they often just go ahead and do them. If I met the person that did it though, I would tell them that it was very stupid.
**2354 ***Pornography *consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.
The last two are not pornographic at all.
You overlooked the part where I said, “Sexuallity and sensualness are some of our societies greatest sins.” I was trying to say that poltical correctness is another one of our society’s great sins.What was ‘politically correct’ about that?

No I didn’t overlook it. I was asking you what your example - the ridiculous nativity scene with the Beckhams - had to do with political correctness.
Depends what you mean by ‘political correctness’. The basic aims are pretty good, but it has been taken too far by some - rather like feminism.
No, it’s not. What goes on behind closed doors is YOUR BUSINESS!
Why? Because it mocks Christianity and do it with a mocking religion sells agenda. Wrote the editor of our local newspaper about immorality of this act and when posted I got blasted by people that were our regular costumers!
Depends on what you mean by ‘political correctness’? Sounds like sophistry if you ask me.
Which is my point, really. Mocking Christianity isn’t ‘politically correct’, so this is nothing to do with political correctness. Airbrushing out Christianity by calling Christmas the ‘holidays’ or whatever similar nonsense sometimes comes under the banner of political correctness, though I don’t think that was the original point either.
No, it is one of these abused terms now that people use to mean just about anything they don’t like, like ‘Nazi’, ‘liberal’, ‘socialist’, ‘feminist’, ‘neo-conservative’, etc. etc.
You’ll have to excuse Scott… he’s not the model of sensitivity.
BUT, he is great at lots of other things… like being GRUMPY!
I have a couple of thoughts. I think it’s inappropriate in a mall because of the kids. On the other hand, I don’t think it’s pornographic to show a mannequin in that pose.
