wanna be politics on this site
May 7^th, 2012 at 8:22am

Well leftist political correctness has reared its ugly head on this site.

In recent weeks i had a topic that i used the word 'abo' in the title.

My self being of Australian colonial decent. the abbreviation of the word Aborigine 'abo' is very much part of my culture and heritage. Now after explaining my position to moderators on this site i have been threatened with being banned if i continue to use this word.

When i used the word in a topic is was not used in an offensive manner, it was used as an abbreviation due to limits on topic headings lengths, My Question is should i be banned for using words that are socially acceptable in my culture?

get over it.. people dont like it.. in fact they dont like a lot of things you say myself included..

it is not part of aussie culture... get that through your head.

if its part of

YOUR

culture then it isnt welcome on here.

Like me or hate me, look it up, it shows up on many aussie slang lists and also shows up in many dictionaries and thesaurus

I think corporate culture should be banned from Australia. Aboriginals are as Aussie as 'cooee', and if you just don't get that then this country may not suit you. P!ss off we're full. Cheesy

Unlucky. Maybe you could go to another board? One where brains are not required. Like aussie-patriot for instance?

It's sad that descriptions of non-Europeans are automatically racist and derogatory. It means the reader thinks those people have to be lesser, which is racism.

Like Aussie is an abbreviation of Australian. Should the word Aussie be offencive too?

roflmao.. this site needs a like button... Its funny how people dont understand the word aboriginal. Its not a word that was invented for Australian indigenous people

The defernition of the word is:

Inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest times; indigenous.

If i was to say Irish abo would that be offencive to an Irish person?

Like it or not abbreviating words in Australia is common practice. Most Aussies do it.

I'm well aware of what it means. what you seem to be unaware of is the Aboriginal population of this country find it offensive.If you don't like the rules of this forum, leave.
