it seems like in this new day and age, people are so tongue-in-cheek about everything, and everybody must be politically correct about everything...

I try to, in that I figure that it takes minimal effort on my part and too many poeple are overly sensitlve and quick to take offence now adays. I just couldn't be bothered with dealing with them.\n\n   I could care a less if anybody else does, and make no comments or harbour any bad feelings if someone says something non politically correct.

You can't talk so generally like that. EVERYONE is different. A person that has something against a race DOESN'T want to be like them, and a person that wants to be like them DOESN'T have anything against them. So don't generalize. Accept each and every person as one individual.

there are many people that do not have the capacity or the know how to think for themselves. this is an age where most people's opinions are not formed by actually reading or looking at something from several different sources or viewpoints to form their own opinions, but from 4 second soundbites from whatever "news"&#92;entertainment show they choose to believe, or "the did you hear" from someone. sad, isn't it?

I agree with you.  It is sad when people start to base their faith on nitpicking and loose the essence of what it is all about.

People are to concerned with being politically correct or socially accepting. They don't want to follow the Bible they want to follow society!

It's suppose to be tongue-in-cheek humour, but, yes, some people may find it quite offensive. It's a stereotypical view of some of the ethic groups.

Sorry, but you must of missed the news, the world is full of the perpetually offended.  Anything you say, dress, eat, worship, act in the bedroom, vote, drive, type, ask, do or not do will offend someone somewhere and someplace.  I haven't seen lawsuit on not spelling correctly yet but give it time oh wait there was that spelling bee lawsuit .... ;-)

Hell, I thought it was all this time!\n\nOf course, the idiots have already came out and started to throw around the "R" word (racist).  Bunch of damn fools!

I agree.  You wrote this very well.  It is annoying, but we are unfortunately at this time a country with very messed up values and there are way to many liberal.  They are often behind this kind of BS.  Hang in there this shall pass and society will find something else to wear on their shirts.

In this day and age, there are problems in either situations. It's sad really. I think we should all try to get along!

I wish I knew the answer to this myself. I grew up in the 70's and it was soooo different. It seems as if everybody today is in such a hurry, they disregard the feeling of other people. So many people treat others as if they are an object, simply in the way. It seems as if material things are what is important. Like if you accidentally pull out in front of somebody, their first inclination is to start cursing and flipping you off. they dont stop and think of the times, THEY pulled out in front of somebody. I think the whole friggin world needs to slow down and take a deep breath.

I often find myself wondering the same thing. \n\nI guess a lot of people take themselves too seriously.

I tend to agree with you on this one.  On issues like race, I think you're right -- America makes TOO much of an effort to be 'polite', when really all that does is separate everyone even more.\n\nOn social issues though, I think being politically correct isn't such a bad thing.  You really don't want to offend someone on something such as abortion or gay rights.  You wouldn't want to call gay people an offensive term.

I guess because alot of people don't understand what our military people are doing when they put their lives on the line. The words 'Politically Correct' comes to my mind. It seems that anything these days that refers to politics, the military, race, color, gender, etc. etc., is used and distorted by anyone who feels that they have been 'wronged' by having to see, hear, or experience something other than what they want to. We have become a country of the "Offended", the slightest thing can set someone off just because they don't believe in what someone else is saying. That is one of the reasons why America is so great, but at the same time, it has been mis-construed, twisted and deformed so much that anyone can be set off by something seen as 'offensive', or 'wrong' in their minds. I don't know what the content was of your entry that would cause you to be cited for a violation, but like I said, someone out there felt that it was wrong, and if it was harmless, that is too bad. I'm sorry to hear that.

People are too self absorbed now a days...so much for the global village.

It's more like a freeworld here, girl. Some people talk sense, but lots of wierd ones also bump in with senseless remarks. All you need do is sort through the whole junk and more often than not, some good ones will be available.

There are some people in this world who are just poluting our society and spreading dirty things as much as dirty they are. I really think people should stop using bad words in their questions and answers and most of all we should report about those people who are doing this.
