Political Correctness (PC)

[Wuptdo]

Now that we have entered the 21st Century, a new era has begun. In the never ending quest to "enlighten" each other, I have started this thread, so that we may never again "offend" anyone with our ignorance.

Multi-culturalism, learn to embrace it, or else! :x

As you blog your day away, if you find something that is PC, please share with the rest of us. We want to know!

Let's suppose we exchange the two men for Asians, Hispanic, Black or Jewish. Would it be funny then?

You come home from a hard day of protecting trees in the forrest, marching for Palestine on Hillsbourgh street, or protesting "right to work" laws in North Carolina. You are still taking 500 mg of prozac daily, cause you haven't gotten over that your candidate lost in the last election (in-spite of all the voter fraud). After the nanny has cooked dinner for your family, you give her the night off. After a long, hot bath and 3rd glass of wine, you decide to check in on your children. You walk into the children's hobby room, see what they are watching on their plasma TV, drop your fourth glass of wine, and scream!

Has this every happened to you! How do you protect your children from the horror of cable TV, or do you want to avoid red wine stains on white carpet, then this is for you:

As California goes, North Carolina is soon to follow.

This should be required reading for both sides of the aisle:

I would certainly like to hear from a true Democrat why the claims made in this essay are not true.

Come on, I know you are out there. Your silence speaks a thousand words......

Looks like the media is beginning to smell blood in the water; again!

Mr. Eason is a editor at CNN.

Enjoy!

Sorry, looks like link changes daily. Oh well, Mr. Eason is now drawing an unemployment check. However, I bet he finds a job a SeeBS.

Meanwhile, in American, the silent majority keeps getting abused by the "ism" folks.

Thought I would bring this back up to the top, seeing as how, "PC" this, and "PC" that is making headlines, again! :roll:

Did you ever wonder where all these PC terms come from? Check this out:

Click on "Removing Bias in Language"

It is a bit of a read, but very interesting. Actually, this is an excellent guide for writing as well. You may want to bookmark this, especially if you have kids in High School and College.

Wup,

I made silver but that is expected. They had poorly worded questions on there such as a question on secession that included State, city and county.

Citys and countys are subdivisions of the state, the state is not a subdivision of the Federal government. I do believe in the radical, albeit consistent with the original interpretation of the Constitution, position that state secession may be legitimate but that it never the case for citys and countys.
