RE: What's your opinion on political correctness? Up to 5 SBI shares on the line.

Well if the world keeps evolving in this direction for much longer then you won't be able to express what you actually think. You will have to be so careful with what you say or what you post in case you end up in court or losing your job. It's already happening in isolated cases but can only get worse going forward.

Growing up in a small backward kind of town, we never had to worry about what was said. There was no social media to record your words for ever and be used against you. We used to insult our friends far worse than our enemies and it was taken with a laugh and some abuse straight back. Now if we were recorded on a video it would be viral in a week and making national headlines. I don't like it myself. There are lines that you can cross but some of the stuff that is being pulled up as offensive these day's is just laughable.
