A rant against political correctness? How fresh!

I have no use for folks who get into a tizzy over "un-PC" speech.

I also find it funny how often the people who decry our PCifucation end up flipping out when I say "crazy Christians" or dare make any mention of how silly religion is. "That's different!" they cry.

The world is a wonderful, crazy, upside-down place.

Ummm...

comprehension seems to be a problem for you?

Girl calls something gay-

Girl gets in trouble (somethings have consequences - even if it is stupid)

Girl sues school- yep... the girl spoke her mind, got in trouble, and then sued for it... so, in short, your argument sucks.

actually it's very much on point...I just was hoping I would not have to explain it. what fun is that?

remedial reader reminder: this being the issue I mentioned.. that you subsequently "giggled" at. keywords: litigious attorneys.

you're being myopic focussing on the girl's individual give & gets in this story...rather than addressing the big picture of the story...and my initial post and reason for making this thread.........which is how p/c is destroying this country.

I'm here to help.

Oh my friend... you make me smile.

I love how you've managed to tie together two separate issues. Political correctness and useless lawsuits. Your PC argument has been shown to be weak, so you've latched on to something that we can all agree to hate (in this case lawers

) and clung to it.

My myopic focus? You seem to be the one who's overly focused on an issue without being able to see the big picture

Lighten up, Francis. "Political correctness infinges my freedom of speech" that.

who's tap dancing?

You got caught making a weak argument and were called on it.

Seriously... you posted a thread demonizing political correctness, and when someone challenged you on it you morphed the thread into something about frivolous lawsuits... you derailed your own thread!

My oh my... keep digging
