Political correctness

Oh yes please!
And also the head in the sanders and the "we are the leaders of the free world"ers.
But especially the most absurd of all - the religious. We cannot be civilized with that millstone hanging around our necks.

It should not just be limited to humans of course, it should also include bureaucrats and their pet politicians... Especially the slimy spooky kind.

Please arrange it.

Once we realise ALL humans are stupid (especially the power cravers) we might get somewhere.

Tim.

Some BS examples

#1 The Missouri State Fair has permanently banned a rodeo clown from performing just because he wore an Obama mask, and now all of the other rodeo clowns are being required to take “sensitivity training“…


But the state commission went further, saying it will require that before the Rodeo Cowboy Association can take part in any future state fair, “they must provide evidence to the director of the Missouri State Fair that they have proof that all officials and subcontractors of the MRCA have successfully participated in sensitivity training.”

#2 Government workers in Seattle have been told that they should no longer use the words “citizen” and “brown bag” because they are potentially offensive.

#3 A Florida police officer recently lost his job for calling Trayvon Martin a “thug” on Facebook.

#4 “Climate change deniers” are definitely not wanted at the U.S. Department of the Interior. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell was recently quoted as making the following statement: “I hope there are no climate-change deniers in the Department of Interior”.

#5 A professor at Ball State University was recently banned from even mentioning the concept of intelligent design because it would supposedly “violate the academic integrity” of the course that he was teaching.

#6 The mayor of Washington D.C. recently asked singer Donnie McClurkin not to attend his own concert because of his views on homosexuality.

#7 U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer is calling on athletes marching in the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics in Sochi next year to “embarrass” Russian President Vladimir Putin by protesting for gay rights.

#8 Chaplains in the U.S. military are being forced to perform gay marriages, even if it goes against their personal religious beliefs. The few chaplains that have refused to follow orders know that it means the end of their careers.

#9 The governor of California has signed a bill into law which will allow transgendered students to use whatever bathrooms and gym facilities that they would like…


Transgendered students in California will now have the right to use whichever bathrooms they prefer and join either the boys’ or girls’ sports teams, thanks to landmark legislation signed by Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday.

The law amends the state’s education code, and stipulates that each student will have access to facilities, sports teams, and programs that are “consistent with his or her gender identity,” rather than the student’s actual biological composition. A male student who self-identifies as female could therefore use the girls’ bathroom, even if he is anatomically male.

#10 In San Francisco, authorities have installed small plastic “privacy screens” on library computers so that perverts can continue to exercise their “right” to watch pornography at the library without children being directly exposed to it.

#11 In America today, there are many groups that are absolutely obsessed with eradicating every mention of God out of the public sphere. For example, an elementary school in North Carolina ordered a little six-year-old girl to remove the word “God” from a poem that she wrote to honor her two grandfathers that had served in the Vietnam War.

#12 A high school track team was disqualified earlier this year because one of the runners “made a gesture thanking God” once he had crossed the finish line.

#13 Earlier this year, a Florida Atlantic University student that refused to stomp on the name of Jesus was banned from class.

#14 A student at Sonoma State University was ordered to take off a cross that she was wearing because someone “could be offended“.

#15 A teacher in New Jersey was fired for giving his own Bible to a student that did not own one.

#16 Volunteer chaplains for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department have been banned from using the name of Jesus on government property.

#17 According to a new Army manual, U.S. soldiers will now be instructed to avoid “any criticism of pedophilia” and to avoid criticizing “anything related to Islam”. The following is from a Judicial Watch article…


The draft leaked to the newspaper offers a list of “taboo conversation topics” that soldiers should avoid, including “making derogatory comments about the Taliban,” “advocating women’s rights,” “any criticism of pedophilia,” “directing any criticism towards Afghans,” “mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct” or “anything related to Islam.”

#18 The Obama administration has banned all U.S. government agencies from producing any training materials that link Islam with terrorism. In fact, the FBI has gone back and purged references to Islam and terrorism from hundreds of old documents.

#19 According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against criminals because it has a “disproportionate” impact on minorities.

It would be hard to overstate the power that all of this relentless “thought training” has on all of us. And young people are particularly susceptible to the power of suggestion. If you doubt this, just check out this video of a little boy praying to Barack Obama as if he was a deity…

1. The BBC has dropped the use of the terms Before Christ (BC) and Anno Domini (AD) on one of their programmes and decided that the terms 'Before Common Era' / 'Common Era' are more appropriate

2. The European Parliament introduced proposals to outlaw titles stating marital status such as 'Miss' and 'Mrs' so as not to cause offence. It also meant that 'Madame' and 'Mademoiselle', 'Frau' and 'Fraulein' and 'Senora' and 'Senorita' would be banned.

3. Throughout several US councils and organisations, any terms using the word 'man' as a prefix or suffix have been ruled as not being politically correct. 'Manhole' is now referred to as a 'utility' or 'maintenance' hole.

4. Loveable cartoon rogue Dennis the Menace has been given a politically correct make over. BBC chiefs decided to take away his edge in the remake. Gone are his bombs, catapult, water pistol and pea shooter - and in their place is a simple boyish grin.

5. Spotted Dick - a classic English dessert has been renamed to avoid embarrassment. The traditional pud Spotted Dick has been given the title Spotted Richard, after UK council bosses feared the original name might cause offence.

6. A school in Seattle renamed its Easter eggs 'spring spheres' to avoid causing offence to people who did not celebrate Easter.

7. A UK council has banned the term 'brainstorming' – and replaced it with 'thought showers', as local lawmakers thought the term may offend epileptics.

8. A UK recruiter was stunned when her job advert for 'reliable' and 'hard-working' applicants was rejected by the job centre as it could be offensive to unreliable and lazy people.

9. Gillingham fans had begun to fondly offer celery to their goalkeeper, ‘Big Fat’ Jim Stannard. The club, however, decided that celery could result in health and safety issues inside the ground. As a result, fans were subjected to celery searches with the ultimate sanction for possession of celery allegedly being a life ban.’

10. In 2007, Santa Clauses in Sydney, Australia, were banned from saying 'Ho Ho Ho'. Their employer, the recruitment firm Westaff (that supplies hundreds of Santas across Australia), allegedly told all trainees that 'ho ho ho' could frighten children, and be derogatory to women. Why ? Because 'Ho Ho Ho' is too close to the American (not Australian, mind you) slang for prostitute.

11. Some US schools now have a 'holiday tree' every at Christmas, rather than a Christmas tree.

Al wants to be guarranteed the right to be an obnoxious, loud mouthed white old male conservative.

A lot of PC is bs. A lot of it is just basic politeness and trying to get along. Most of the outrage about PC is usually left over shit from people who miss being able to call black folks "niggers," gay folks "queers" and so on.

...someone has to counter a certain individual (who shall remain namelesss...but I bet he knows who he is) from the liberal side who has long worn that very crown for his camp.

95% of it is "b.s." and any rational person knows it! Can you give us an example of "p.c." that's just "basic politeness"?

'Assuming facts not in evidence again, Councilor, and tossing 'em out there as though they are facts...which they aren't. What you're 'saying' there is anyone who doesn't toe the "p.c." line is a "RACIST!!!", a "BIGOT!!!", and/or a "HOMOPHOBE!!!" 'Typical, standard intimidation ploy the left virtually always employs when trying to silence opposition to one of its sacred cows.

You're the one who preaches hate and name calling, is that a short, chubby, middle aged thing? Never have you seen me use the words you just used. And of course PC is figment of our imagination.

You guys, this is ridiculous. Political correctness is actually thought control masquerading as "sensitivity". Bigotry, which we still have plenty of, is just that- it's prejudice, plain and simple. It's disliking and making fun of other people because they aren't like me or you.

There's so much room between these two idiotic alternatives that you would THINK that decent reasonable folks would find plenty of room in the middle ground to occupy- room for everyone. But, no, what we've got is people who ought to know better staking out the most extreme positions and then shelling the other side from the safety of the trench they've dug themselves into. It's pathetic.

I am the moderator of an internet forum for people who own Hatteras yachts. Some of the members are wealthy, some of them are just doing better than average. But all of them own a boat of some kind- so you know they aren't poor, and generally speaking they've done well for themselves. You would think they'd be grateful for what they have. And some of them clearly are. Regrettably, there are others who are racist, anti-Semitic, foul-mouthed jerks who clearly hate everyone who doesn't look and sound like them. And they particularly hate the poor and lower class. When I read their posts I feel like I fell into a cesspool. And these are people who've done well in life- well enough to own a Hatteras yacht, at any rate- and yet they ceaselessly complain about others. And all the complaints are about the people they perceive as trying to get something for free. Which, in my considerable experience, most people are not trying to do.

My practice involves seeing a lot of people who are working class folks from PG County, MD. A few of them ARE trying to get on the gravy train. But ten times that number are the people who refuse to take a work note when they're injured, because either their job needs them or they need the money or both, people who are working two jobs to make ends meet, kids who call me "sir" and the nurses "ma'am"- folks like that. Decent ordinary people who are just trying to get by, to make their lives a bit better. The wholesale mistrust of the lower middle class and the poor, on the part of the better-off, frankly makes me sick.

Nothing in my life has made me understand our common humanity more than working in medicine for decades and taking care of people who have a lot less than I do. For the overwhelming most part, the folks I have taken care of all my life have been unfailingly polite, appreciative of what I've tried to do for them, and untiring in their hope for better health and a better life- sometimes in spite of very good evidence that they were going to be shortly deprived of both.

I am sorry for the rant. But I've seen under the skins of enough human beings to know exactly how similar we all are under there. There but for the grace of God go I, and all of us here, too.
 
Oh, except the bit about bureaucrats, I meant that literally. ;)

The world is full of extremists these days, the vast majority of whom don't seem to be themselves as such. Somehow they think they have a grasp on absolute truth.

Not enough people opening their eyes and looking out the window of their little box.

Why can't I edit?


'Time limit for such has expired. Seriously.

'Makes no sense to me either. This is the only forum to which I belong wherein that's the case. And, being a dyslexic, that creates an 'issue' or two for me from time to time!
