Aussie airline Qantas has copped flak for telling employees to stop using words like “guys” and phrases like “mum and dad”.

Qantas staff were encouraged to use partner and spouse instead of husband and wife, and parents instead of mum and dad because it excludes some LGBTI families, according to the new advice.

The directive came in an information pack sent out to employees from the company’s People and Culture Group. […]

The information pack also declares that Australia was not settled peacefully; and as such, all staff should say “colonization”, “occupation” or “invasion” instead of “settlement”. …

Another attempt to force people to think “appropriate” thoughts by changing the language. I wish a miserable, painful existence for these people, followed by a slow passage from this world.

HR departments at major corporations are packed with homo sexuals. It is the queers who are driving this.

I flew Qantas once many years back. Very unremarkable, very forgettable service. Now that they are aggresively homosexualizing the airline, I will never know if it improved.

Especially in the airline business in the US where inflight crew, except pilots, tend to be homosexuals and heavily unionized.

“HR departments at major corporations are packed with homo sexuals”

Women are over represented in HR, lesbians are hugely over represented. And these are not your typical queers, they are activist queers. HR has become such a minefield because of government regulations, HR managers are being elevated to higher management positions.

The first thing I look at in a company when applying for a positions is the HR staff. I walk away from most opportunities.

I take every opportunity I get to weaken the activist queers, but it is hard to do without being outed as a rational, normal human.

As someone who was raised in the South, I always knew it was wrong to refer to second person plural as ‘you guys’. It leaves out the ladies. That is why we say, “ya’ll.”

It has. When you think of how readily “the world” has embraced gender confusion as a “good”, it is clear our time is short. This is not the same old, same old. It’s not hard to see we are on an edge of collapse into anomie and that the Man of Sin (Lawlessness) is on the horizon.

They were also instructed to avoid using the words "eyes," "legs," and "hair" because they exclude blind people, amputees, and bald people.

They are allowed to use the word "as*hole," however, since everybody has one.

Never forget, “politically correct” is the language of slaves.
