Yeah, One of the ones over here was, manhole covers. It seems, some feminists were offended and wanted to change it to personhole covers. Crazy doesnt begin to cover it.

There are some things that are just stupid! A blackboard is BLACK! It is a color ! Are we to eliminate the word from our language?

Indians DO sit cross legged. It is not a cut-down to use it as a descriptive. (It doesn't offend me, and my ancestry is Cherokee Indian).

I take no offense at the title Mailman. I think changing it to Mailperson OR Mailwoman is just plain ludicrous!

In fact, most political correctness is asinine!!!
