Doesn't "Baa Baa Pink Sheep" offend homosexuals, then? After all their money is known as "the pink pound". Absolutely ludicrous. I always thought the black sheep were the cutest in the field!!

lin i think the goverment are trying too hard to offend us who believe in the christian faith.i call that discrimination when it comes to offending any religion.why can't they leave it be and let people live together whatever religion colour or creed and stop stirring up troublexxxxx(:

with baa baa black sheep it is not too offend black people but it's fact you can get black sheep.xxxx(:

Black is not an insult but a definition. I'm afraid that all this nonsense is nothing to do with the so called "Minorities" whether they be religious, racial, sexual or anything else. It is a load of bitterly repressed "Nannies" who are fighting to preserve their jobs as they are incapable of earning a living by doing a Proper Job. And please don't get me going about Social Services!!! Jim

Jim... too right !! the abbreviation SS suits them down to the ground.

I generally agree with everything thats been said. I think it is worth pointing out, however, its not the minorities that do the complaining, but some strange sort of "liberal" type person. Quite often, the minority leaders say, themselves, that these ideas are stupid.

I read in a newspaper that a school somewhere in the States banned Halloween (which happens to one of their biggest holidays) in case it offends witches. Now what is that all about.

Lisa Exactly, how can you call a black sheep a pink sheep. I just dont get it.

there misguiding children debbie into thinking pink sheep do exist and it's not true.what that is saying that it is o.k to lie about things to spare peoples feelings.true in some cases but not this onexxxxx(:

At my work a lot of the senior managers in the US office are Jewish so we are not allowed to say Merry Christmas to each other, we have to say Hapy Holidays! The thing is I have had many friends of other religions over the years and they enjoy Christmas too....just the non religious aspect of it, eg time off work to spend with your family and having the get togethers, exchanging gifts etc. Thye have never been offended by being wished a Merry Christmas or receiving a card.

why do they have to rename roads and schools anyway? there is enough of them being built to name the new ones. as for the black sheep, what else could it be but a black sheep its a fact not a fantasy! are they going to suggest that they wipe the colours from the spectrum? as everybody knows religion is a topic few people agree on,everybody has a right to thier own beliefs, its when some people think that they know best and try to force others to understand that certain belief! thats my opinion anyway!

I suppose it could be a beige sheep lol !! Jim's right, this has nothing to do with ethnic minorities, or religious beliefs, but a group of people (jobs for the boys) who are feathering their own nests at our expense!! You can imagine them at meetings. They probably have their 'token' 'minority' members (patronising), and work out what, in their jobsworth type minds MAY be offensive, or go through complaints from 'disgusted from somewhere or other' who doesn't like this, that, or anything else in life!! It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. I think the people who make these decisions are racist and patronising, and should maybe get out more and get a life. maggie
