I basically figured that, it isn't the people whining that's the problem. People have always whined. It's the fact that people started listening to the whiners. Then other whiners saw that, and the rest is history. It's spiraling out of control and WILL hit an end, and it's going to be UGLY when it happens.
Cheer up maybe the plane will get hijacked & crash on it's way to New York. (After the crew have bailed out of course.) It'll be a shame about pig farm it crashed into, but I'm sure the government would compensate the farmer.
Having grown up with intolerance and known the sting of being part of the "outgroup" I understand that there is a reason why people who have been treated as garbage for generations might have some issues, and might not always express that anger in a way you like (not "PC" in other words).
Just because people who hold different life experience have different opinions than yours does not mean that there is no value in their opinions. If you dismiss people out of hand that is your failing, not theirs.
Finally, poor "whites" and poor "blacks" and poor "jews" an poor everybody else have been put at each others throats by the rich and powerful since time began. If we chew on each other over scraps that leaves the lions share for the people who watch us scrabble. You want to get rid of PC? Stop calling things PC or non-PC and just listen to peoples issues and then disagree or agree and move on.
...or keep listing to the talking heads tell you your side is right and the "other" side is a bunch of "whiners" (you dont think each "side" is being sold the same basic message? watch the "opposing" news broadcast tell us how we shoudn't listen to the other side because they are bullies or racists or whiners or neo-cons or liberals...hey, if you go back far enough you can watch a commission talk about who the good Americans and who are "Commies".
The real world has always been more complicated than those caricatures in the newspapers and on the news...our country was founded on people who disagreed with each other hammering out a document that was unprecedented in the world and has helped us created the greatest country on the planet. If we start eating our own that country will soon be a husk of distrust and hate, and we will go the way of the Romans and the other empires. Personally, I think we can help create a better world but we can't do it with mistrust of our countrymen because demagogues say some are "bad".
What oppressed batch of Muppets were downtrodden that Oscar can no longer be Grouchy?
THAT is PC. The effect that you have to put a rosy colored spin on everything lest you offend someone somewhere that might have an axe to grind or a lawyer to support that axe. The whole f'n world is supposed to be Tickle Elmo happy?
Its pervasive, its insideious and f'n needs to stop. Life is pain princess, anybody that tells you something different is trying to sell you something (or pull the wool over your eyes)
Let Oscar be Grouchy, Put the Full Road Runners back on TV, and quit it with the damn Nanny state attitude.
I wrote a few paragraphs about my anti-PC stand point. After re-reading it I decided some of it may not be nice to some, and offend others, potentially causing a negative affect on how others will view me, so I did not upload it.
Does this mean I have PC policed myself? If so, how many others have? Internal PC Police.....doesn't get anymore effective than that!
Having your brain PW'ed to be PC! Ain't it great to be an American where free speech is usually unacceptable?!?
You could blame it on TV for watering down the masses, but without it then Radio would have spread the word, but without that, then transportation would have been the problem for bringing people together from different regions. Education appears to be a quantifying medium with communication as the lead problem. Beyond that walking about simply visiting others would have caused it(club in hand). Seems like it is a social problem that started way back even before politics, or was that when politics started?
