Yes SMIDSY, we have. I haven't, I say we in a general sense.
Political correctness is as far from common sense as a thought can be moved. All that garbage about games & music "causing" violence in real life is B.S., if it affects anything it's because parents; if there are parents instead of A parent which is an intregal part of the problem, say "where's junior? I haven't seen him all day."
Well folks that's because you're using video games, Ipods, PC's, TV's ETC. as babysitters. Television & games and such are not the problem, it's the guidance that is lacking to go along with them.
All those school shootings could have been prevented, not by outlawing guns or violent video games; but by a firm butt whipping that was backed up by law enforcement & the courts instead of bleeding heart political correctness cry-babies saying "that poor child has rights!" & dragging parents into court for abuse. Those same political correctness advocates then cry foul when the little hellions go out and commit crimes!
Common sense was the first murder of the new millenia, you can see it on these very forums. All forums really & in the paper & just talking to people; they have lost their freaking minds. The general population is so brainwashed now into the "capitulate & all will be fine, don't lower yourself to their level" mentality. It sickens me to see people victimized because they wouldn't help themselves & then, if they survive it, they go on to say it wasn't the criminals fault, they blame violent video games or rap music or society.
Wake up and smell the smoke before you burn to death people; the house is on fire!
If it seems hard for you to "see it from their side"; DON'T TRY TOO! see it in the simplest most direct form you can & don't over-complicate it, because if you do, your simply trying to find a way to swallow BULL-*censored* to pacify someone else & coddle their sensitivities so they won't be offended. Here's a novel idea, go ahead and offend them. If you think someones kid is a rotten snot, tell them so. You are not in the wrong, they are for raising their child that way.
You may think I have digressed from the point of the opening poster, but I haven't, it's all intertwined. I don't know if it's the "devil" as put forth in the christian bible, but something is happening & it is tricking people into becoming no better than dogs that have been beaten to the point where they just roll over & piss on themselves whenever they are confronted even if they have done nothing wrong.
The great American Samuel Adams has a few quotes I love & will repost them here:
“It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds”
“Mankind are governed more by their feelings than by reason.”
“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!”
“A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.”
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!”
People shouldn't confuse kindness for weakness & they should not want peace so much that they forfeit their own thoughts & feelings for the sake of it. So the next time someone approaches you & proceeds to spew the utter stupidity that is political correctness, kindly tell them to **** - off, after all, you have a right to freedom of speech too, use it.
Edited for punctuation & a couple spelling mistakes.
