Point the first: "Politically correct" is a lazy, lazy, lazy, intellectually dishonest way of not saying anything and sounding intelligent about it.
Regardless of where you stand on something - the PC card is overused, ineffective and pointless. It's like a reverse Godwin. It stands for nothing and means even less.
Point the second: the old days are the 80's now?! When did that fucking happen? I always assumed that the "old days" where what you remembered in black and white. Because you do know kids, that there was a time when the world had no colour....
nice segue into ...
Point the third: You likes what you like, and if you get to enjoy what you like, life will be a softer, sweeter, stronger place.
A wise sage from the "old days", once sang. "Don't go changin, to try and please me..."
And he still managed to lose Christie Brinkley - who if you remember the 80's was hot for the time.
Point the fourth: I like posts where I get to pretend I'm an old git. Unlike most threads where I simply am a git.
Rog! Your round. Make it a pint of something wet, you old bastard.
