Is political correctness gone mad! I've always wanted to say that...
 
2002-08-13 11:42:59 AM
It's things like this that cause me to care less and less about hurting the feelings of others.
Sensitivity be damned.
 
2002-08-13 11:43:07 AM
But there ARE winners and losers. Duh.

Winner - guy that never gets married
Loser - guy that does and divorced
 
2002-08-13 11:44:47 AM
Yes in divorce court, EVERYONE is a winner !
 
2002-08-13 11:46:23 AM
A loser by any other name is still a loser.

In other news, GW Bush to now be called intellect challenged.
 
2002-08-13 11:46:30 AM
Only in the 51st State.
 
2002-08-13 11:47:20 AM
maybe because you either WIN or LOSE custody.
 
2002-08-13 11:47:31 AM
Wait...for a second I almost got concerned, then I realized this was all going on in Canada, where everyone's a loser, regardless of how you phrase it.
 
2002-08-13 11:47:34 AM
already happened in some of the no fault states in the US, like:

 
2002-08-13 11:47:37 AM
Can't these words simply be farkanized like "Boobies" and "shiat"?
 
2002-08-13 11:47:38 AM
You are only winners if you sleep with your soon to be ex-spouse's best friend and tell them that their friend is 10x better in bed as far as sex goes.
 
2002-08-13 11:47:50 AM
worst.decision.ever.
There must be millions of already-settled divorces where the settlements use this language. Will every one of them have to go before a judge to get them re-settled using the new wording?
 
2002-08-13 11:48:21 AM
At least they didn't change it to "prison" and "probationary" for the couples that fail Family Planning 101.
 
2002-08-13 11:49:21 AM
Judge Mablean rocks. I love that show...
 
2002-08-13 11:49:23 AM
In other news, superbowl trophy renamed "Participant Awareness Award," Stanley cup to be awarded to both final teams, the Rex Sox win the world series, and hell freezes over.
 
2002-08-13 11:49:54 AM
From now on, Canadian divorce settlements will refer to parties as "hosers" or "Gretzkys."
 
2002-08-13 11:50:34 AM

LMAO. Tell you one thing. Why there are I don't know. Go to Montreal, Quebec city and the women are to DIE for.
 
2002-08-13 11:50:46 AM
Spiritauthor: Great suggestion! "Custody" could be filtered to read "Hog Tied" and "Access" could be "All the fun stuff and none of the real parenting".

I think they should change the term "defendant" to "accurately accused"
 
2002-08-13 11:52:50 AM
The dad always gets farked. Period.
 
2002-08-13 11:52:58 AM
Another fine example of Liberalism and political correctness! Make everyone feel like victim and get them to use government to "make solutions" in our lives!
FARK the Liberal party of Canada and the Bar Association too!
 
2002-08-13 11:53:10 AM
But are they still called Mr. and Mrs. Fat Ass in the court documents?
 
2002-08-13 11:54:16 AM
This is Chretien's fault!
 
2002-08-13 11:54:35 AM
I'd say this one should get the Asinine tag.... who's the dumbass?

Danho
So I'm a loser am I?
 
2002-08-13 11:57:12 AM
The same article submitted this morning had a stupid tag if that makes anyone feel better. Still, the politicians up here are the dumbasses.
 
2002-08-13 11:58:46 AM
Winners: Divorce Lawyers
Losers: Children
 
2002-08-13 12:00:51 PM
In a Politicaly Correct Democracy, everybody wins!
 
2002-08-13 12:01:44 PM
Is it time to kill the pussies yet? Please?
I'd like to stand over every-politically correct dickwad and just prior to empying my clip in their useless craniums, say. "Don't think of it as being murdered, that implies losing. Let's call it a 'demographic readjustment.' Everyone wins! There, now... feel better?"
 
2002-08-13 12:01:52 PM
Why can't they just change the term wife to girlfriend and the term marriage to "going steady".

And the term grivas to anything besides "aged, married horndog"
 
2002-08-13 12:03:06 PM
Glad to see that Danho perpetuates my view of americans as being arrogant pricks... Beer swilling arrogant pricks...
 
2002-08-13 12:03:13 PM
Toonz lol!
Priceless!
 
2002-08-13 12:04:05 PM
El Cerdo Loco, I'm with you. The more soft and cushiony the world becomes, the less I give a shiat about offending someone. I won't go out of my way to do it, but I just can't be bothered to care.
 
2002-08-13 12:04:09 PM
SlayerSwine: By your definition, I am a winner!
 
2002-08-13 12:05:50 PM
God forbid any alcoholic, drug addict, deadbeats have their feelings hurt. What a bunch of hosers, eh?
 
2002-08-13 12:05:54 PM
Oh, you Canadians! Always getting all fussy over the good natured ribbing you get from us Americans. It's a joke. Let's all relax. I think it's funny. It's kind of like the inferiority complex Bostonians have with New Yorkers.

(ducks to avoid barrage of tooks, backbacon, chowdah and Nomah bobble-heads.)
 
2002-08-13 12:06:24 PM
More proof that Fark needs a "shiat" tag.
 
2002-08-13 12:06:37 PM
Phxtony: the dad getting farked in every case is a myth. I have two friends who got divorced from their irresponsible wives. Not only do they both have custody, they are getting healthy payments. Apparently, the judge wanted the moms who liked to run off and do drugs in prison and made some steep payments. The families of the ex's are helping to pay for the children's welfare to keep their daughters out of prison.

I know of only one guy who got stuck with child support payments. He made the mistake of doing the same thing she did. That didn't help as she really knew how to complain and make him look bad. He has his life back together, while she went downhill taking her games to a new low of infidelity with her next husband.

i'm not white, but have you ever noticed how you can be racist against white people. you can call them whatever you want, deny them admission into college or a job because you want to meet racial quotas.
political correctness just lets shiat like this happen but buries you for doing anything against a minority.
end political correctness and the US will be a much better place to live.
 
2002-08-13 12:07:21 PM
No "Canada" tag yet?
 
2002-08-13 12:07:32 PM
In Democratic Canada, they are all a bunch of pansies! you.
 
2002-08-13 12:08:49 PM
God help us when the Political Correctness crusade has run it's course and none of us can set foot outside our houses or make noises with our throats without being punished for some nebulous offense against someone else. At that point, society will no doubt be exactly like the one described in the short story "The Pedestrian".

All the bleeding heart canucks and americans and europeans need to take a big farking pill and realize that offense is as commonplace as breathing in the sexually transmitted disease known as life. If you stop looking for offense, offense will never find you. And that goes for all the tards and gimps in the world too. Give me a break.
 
2002-08-13 12:09:17 PM
Who submitted this without the tag? A more deserving article has rarely been posted!

Did that make sense?

LMAO. Tell you one thing. Why there are I don't know. Go to Montreal, Quebec city and the women are to DIE for.

I have no idea what you are saying here, but I've heard Vancouver has beautiful hookers.

Not that the abundance of hot Canadian women has anything to do with the article.

And Ranold, one of my best friends from high school is a Quebecois. Good natured Canadian ribbing is an old hobby. No offense meant.
 
2002-08-13 12:10:45 PM
This tag: "http://img.fark.com/images/2001/topics/asinine.gif"
I mean.
 
2002-08-13 12:11:23 PM
Which, if typed with the correct tags, would probably look like this:
