We need to find a colour that no-one can be insulted by, regardless of race, colour or creed...:)

abscence of colour! transparent! unless that upsets shallow people

[madwitch.livejournal.com]

It may well do, as many shallow people are called 'transparent' in a derogatory manner.

This is going to be tricky.

my thoughts exactly my dear.

Oh gods. The trauma.

We must all lock ourselves in boxes and never come out and speak to none unless using words from the pre-approved list of words taht don't offend for fear we may offend and oh gods what if my hair colour offends and aaaaaaaaaaargh pc overload aaaaaaaaarggh.

Alternatively, we could just say 'sod this' and carry on regardless. And though option A sounds compelling, I think option B is just more me. :)

i'm totall with you on B.

do you know what is most annoying to me as someone who has been brought up correctly, using the rules of courtesy and suchlike, to be further constrained in a needless fashion because some trumped up pseudo-intellectual states that words i am using politely or at least neutrally, are somehow offensive.

oh and yes lets re-name everything. black monday? unfortunate monday.
white-wash? oh and places...

You know, we need to take over the world. If only to stop the madness before it destroys us all.
