    It means aware but unfortunately those people are only aware of their twisted version of how things should be and totally intolerant of any other view - and that's when the problems start when one side accuses the other of being racist, far right, etc whilst not accepting the irony that they are just as bad supporting terrorist attacks and hatred towards Israel

    CBA to trawl back through the last few pages so apologies if this has been mentioned - what about tv programs carrying health or sensitivity warnings or whatever they are? What was wrong with the 9pm watershed? You knew if you watched something after that time it could contain violence, sex or foul language. Now we have to be told some programs might "cause offence" because of their content. This particularly applies to repeats -which probably contain things or words that were part of everyday life when the program was made. If TV companies are so bothered about causing offence, why show the repeat from 30 odd years ago?

    Streaming, mate. Ppl watch adult programmes before 2100 now, so the warnings are there, same as the announcer used to warn back in the 1980s.

    That's what can happen when you play hard to get. Just close your eyes and think of England.

    Still haven’t seen anybody define woke correctly, or use it correctly in a sentence.

    I’m not sure some of these folks know what it actually means, you know.

    I think some people just can't accept that things change over time
    for better and for worse

    Why would anyone accept things changing for the worse?

    I presume that was in reference to the 'and for worse' part.

    I presume that presumption on your part is mistaken

    You're making an assumption about my presumption.
