Jeruselem

Jeruselem Castle, Royal Conference Room.
Queen Mariah I askes her PA who is the appointment was for. "Apparently the Coalition for Public Language. Some group of PC tossers, I mean lobbyists from America." Victoria replies. Queen rolls her eyes and waits for the CPL delegates.
Two well dressed people turn up and greet the guards outside the room. "We have an appointment with the Queen about now. We're from the Coalition for Public Language.". One guard grabs his phone and mumbles some French into it. He opens the door for the delegates.
Q: Queen Mariah I
D1: CPL delegate Pat Clinton
D2: CPL delegate Jane Kerry
D1 and D2: Bow to the Queen
Q: No need to that. It's not the middle ages anymore. Pat Clinton and Jane Kerry from the Coalition for Public Language? Welcome to Jeruselem. I hope you find our nation hospitable. Now have a seat.
D1: Thank you your majesty.
<Attendants show them their seats>
Q: Now, what would you like to talk about.
D2: We're on a world-wide mission to improve public language. Our aim is to remove all predicial connotations from the languages of the world?
Q: You mean Political Correctness? Your organisation is aligned with every PC organisation we know off.
D1: We dislike the use of the description Political Correctness. It's incorrect. We prefer to describe it as people-friendly.
D2: Removing obsene content from public language is proven to reduce offending people and improve relations between feuding parties.
Q: I disagree. It might look that way, but using different language does not change people's opinions of each other. It just masks the hostilty.
D1: He have research to prove our findings if you are interested.
Q: Sure, hand the information to my assistant at the end of this meeting.
D2: Thank you.
Q: Now, this research. Who conducts it?
D2: Public organisations who are interested in finding ways to solve insoluble problems?
Q: So being people-friendly will fix the Jewish-Islamic-Christian conflicts after 1000 years of problems?
D1: No, but it will help the people of Abraham get along.
Q: I have word, you're a Mormon Jane. True?
D2: <Stutters>How did you know?
Q: The Inquisition does good work. Our US contacts are well informed. Why hide this fact?
D2: It's irrelevant to our work ...
D1: I don't want religion to come into our discussion your majesty.
Q: It's not religion. You never stated this when screened by our officers, but they didn't ask because they knew.
D2: Being a Mormon, you might not let me in because I was if I did. It's well known your nation discriminates against Mormons being Catholic controlled.
Q: It's better to tell the truth.
D2: <blushes>
Q: Now, but to your topic. The people of Jeruselem are not the type to take to censored public language. They prefer the painful truth to smokescreens and muted language. How would sell this to Jews, Christians and Arabs who don't like people telling them how to talk?
D1: Public education and schooling.
Q: That's political indoctrination really. We're the experts on religious indoctrination and we can see political indoctrination is not any different.
D2: Remove all religious, racial, sexist, obsene and other forms of predicial elements from language will make the difference. It's proven to work in our research.
D1: It makes for a more civil society when we speak well without offending people.
Q: Maybe in a 21st century society, but our society is still essentially from the middle ages as reflected by our three main religions. I don't like politicians using PC language to baffle the public with meanless language. Removing religion from Jeruselem public language will be struggle here.
D1: It takes time, but I know it works.
D2: I'm a Christian and I support this mission. Removing blaspheming from public language is important to me even though Catholic don't consider Mormons are Christians.
Q: You can try your mission here, but it's going to fail. The Grand Chancellor Marde and I will not commit Jeruselem taxpayers funds to your mission but you can seek it from donations.
D1: Please reconsider.
Q: With many nations attacking the faiths of this Holy Land, we have more important considerations to attend to.
D2: Thank you for your time.
Q: I would say God bless, but it's against your mission right?
D1: ....
D2: God bless.
<They leave the room>
