The Lion, the Witch and the Political Correctness

[JulieL]

After re-reading and re-reading Slogger's post I think I understand it - I usually have trouble understanding them due to the poor English, bad grammar, bad spelling, no punctuation and the sentiment skewed by misguided aggression, but usually manage.

I can't help having three university degrees and using big words.

You've got 3 university degrees.......BIG deal

I would have expected you to be a little more tolerant toward people (in view of your extensive acedemic background) who aren't able to apply the written word as articulately as you.

You should have written 'towards'. I'm not patronising you, because patronising someone is when you talk D O W N to them.

Apparently the new "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" has had any likeness between Aslan the Lion and Jesus Christ toned down/removed. Presumably to avoid offending fat bints in leggings (my past experiences of over-PC-isation have ALWAYS involved fat bints in leggings!)

Yet "The Matrix", with all of its religious imagery, and all those little factlets the fans come up with ("Neo" is an anagram of "One", as in "The One", or Jesus Christ!), I am yet to hear of anyone complaining about that.

Could it be that the Directors of the new Narnia films are just taking pre-emptive measures to avoid being boycotted by the PC-brigade, or are they themselves fully paid-up members of the PC-Union?

Fer chrissakes, Islam holds J-C as a prophet, and afaik most Jews believe J-C was real and a great bloke, even if they don't hold the Christian view of him being the Messiah. And I'm yet to hear of a Hindu who has a problem with people having their own beliefs. So who the heck is going to be offended because Lewis Carrol wrote in a character who is a metaphor for Jesus?

Narnia was the work of C.S. Lewis.

Well spotted!

I'm barely literate, so I'm surprised I even got one of the names right

Scholars have confirmed that jesus was alive, there have been documentarys on discovery and the BBC confirming evidence that a man called jesus was alive during the period that the bible suggests, as to him being the son of god that is debatable.

Oh come on julie you must practice what you preach, It wasn't that long ago you picked me up on my spelling and punctuation mostly it's because i can't be ars*d to punctuate or because i'm typing fast with two fingers i tend to hit wrong keys or the keypress doesn't register and because i'm rushing due to wanting to do something else that errors will creep in.

Did I really? I don't remember? - Must've been Dave writing as me............(only joking!!!!!)

To be honest I'm not really not all that bothered about people making spelling, grammer etc - as I also make enough of my own.

I made my comments in response to other aspects of the post - maybe I should have made that clearer in my reply

 

[kendor]

it's ok not having a go, just that i tend to type fast and don't always get the time to read through afterwards before submitting (waiting for the sarcastic remarks here ) or i hit the submit button as an automatic response and have to re edit the post. so mistakes do creep in.
Or by the time you have resubmitted the post someone else has posted and so it comes up with last edited.... which canbe annoying as it makes it look like you've adjusted your post to fit in with the last post afterwards, of which i can whole heartedly put my hand to my chest and say i've never done.
