This is truly appalling.

The BBC has dropped the terms Anno Domini and Before Christ, sparking accusations of political correctness.

Has political correctness gone too far? Are we on our way to a censored society?

Lol mate no offense but who cares? You won't even notice this most of the time.

There are heaps of other types of political correctness dogma you could point out.

Yeh AD/BC change isn't really that big of a deal but it's what I'm used to.
I have intense hatred for pretty much all forms of political correctness though.

surely her parents must have considered post birth abortion

I know that PC is everywhere and it is a serious concern, however the reasoning for this particular case was that "use of BC and AD is offensive to non-Christians".

thats just fucked up

 

[funkshen]

it's almost like the BBC is an international news broadcaster catering to many different market constituencies, including some in which christian terminology is completely anomalous

Wow that is not the correct usage of the word drastic. The use of Common Era and Before Common Era in place of the BC/AD has been around for yonks.

Vatican II really did ruin everything.

Vatican II really did ruin everything.

Vatican doctrine is infallible, it may be the case that the doctrine was not meant to be entirely comprehended by god's children until certain points in time but the doctrines themselves are eternal, immutable and infallible.

Edit: You might well think that, I couldn't possibly comment.
