This whole thread seems to echo the original subject recursively too... ;-) How sad this topic has devolved from what was IMHO a fairly honest page someone created (with valid grievances) to one of religion and name calling. I tried to avoid commenting at all but I do have to agree with Tedd here: > Instead, I think you saw an opportunity to be "politically correct" > and rise to the occasion in righteous indignation. I personally think Politically Correctness is a load of $h!t and causes more harm and trouble than it's worth. I'm so sick of it being dictated to me everywhere from media to schools to work to now even a programming language list. People need thicker skins. If you are so easily offended, then block that person's email from your mailbox. It's called the 1st Amendment. I may not agree with, or even like the things you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it -- whatever it is! I don't agree with radical Muslims wanting to kill me either, but I'll defend their right to protest and say whatever they want (as long as it's true!). Same goes for KKK or any other extremist group. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Ross Perot said it best, "every time you pass a new law, you give up some of your freedoms". And this P.C. crap is just an un-official "law" that is being imposed on people. People aren't "visually impaired", they are "blind". They're not "dwarfs" or "little people", they're "midgets". A "retard" is "handicapped" and isn't "mentally challenged". (there, how many people did I just offend?) DEAL WITH IT. I have a "big nose" and I'm "balding" from Alopecia -- I'm not "olfactory gifted" or "follicly deficient" either. Didn't your mommas ever teach you, "sticks and stones will break my bones, but names can never hurt me"?? And don’t even get me started on "stereotypes" -- because those are based on true observations too! If you don't like your stereotype, then collectively as a people, you need to change it. "we" didn’t make up your stereotype, "you" did! We just noticed it and pointed it out to you -- you're welcome. ...and watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqVhtHapFW4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnDIvZKs4dA http://www.metacafe.com/watch/457799/allahu_akbar/ http://nation.foxnews.com/germany-airport-shooting/2011/03/03/obama-administration-refuses-call-attack-germany-act-terrorism shoot, I wouldn't be surprised if I just got myself on some government watch list now that I googled for those videos! ...let the ~/.procmailrc filters begin!
