Funny how Ive had Liberals tell me what they see fit when they PC me quiet about calling myself a "White African American" as a joke when I was born in Africa. And other Liberals call me a "racist" for the same thing. How can my statement be PC incorrect, or racist unless PC is being forced upon me. Im also a registered republican, conservitve white male over 40 and don't hide that from them.

PC exists in this culture as a primary tool to destroy the pre 1960's American culture and to cow the non anoited into denial of their protected 1st Amendmant right to the same freedom of speech the PC mongers strip them of. The only people Ive seen lately who say it as they see it are Liberals, protected minorities, extreem Left whacko's and a few concervitives and libertarians who are too old to be scared of law suits.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

How's this for a PC term?  Parking diplomats.  You know, the ones who ticket everyone so badly people are scared to go downtown to support the city's downtown revitalization effort.

That's PC thinking too!!!
If not so destructive to humanity, and misguided in its idealogy, it would be funny in the sense of absurdity being sometimes humorous.

At least people were free to stay away from downtown to avoid that small drop in the bucket of PC.  Can't say the same for the merchants it hurt though.

A not so PC example would be black folk before the equal rights movement..  People, white people, had no trouble referring to the colored man as a ****** because they had no fear of him. They knew they could use such description without any reprisal..  Not so anymore. The use of such verbage will warrent, and rightly so, an bellybutton kicking..


And if the situation were reversed said a**kicking would be a hate crime.

yep.. would seem to me that bustr could call himself an african American but some 10'th generation American negro in a tribal dress is no more an "African American" than dude is.

so dude... you feel that people using their power to influence an attempt control is ok?  or.... just when it is the kind of control you like?    Perhaps it is one of those so called liberal "gray areas"?

Its not the point if I feel it is ok or not.. The point is it is a fact of life no matter who you are or where you live..  Every living thing on this planet resides under some sort of control..

The only question concerning control is how much control over our life we find acceptable.. There are probably as many different levels of acceptablity as there are people.

There are levels of control that I find acceptable or in the least have to live with. PCness, if described as a controlling function carried to extremes, is not one of them that I am aware of.

dude we are back to it... you think some amount of control is good so long as it isn't your ox being gored.  You like big intrusive government so long as it follows a liberal socialist agenda and controls people in a way that you approve of.

I am saying that PC is worthless and intrusive and illegal in the same way that the concept of "hate crime" is... words are words.. crime is crime.   when you start adding penalties based on hate... that is stepping over the line.

Well then I guess we will stop here because you obviously can't read what I'm writing.  I'm tired of you telling me what I believe and what I think is good..

I never said/wrote any of that bs you just wrote..
