LOL....Oh, that episode was priceless. Yes, I get stares that if they could kill I would be cadaver by now when I talk about PC and my low tolerance for it.

I have learned to assess ALL issues and consider them carefully before I speak. I organize my thoughts and I state the facts as demonstrated by the evidence. Opinions I usually keep to my self. But if you haven't seen me or know any thing about me and my family, you may not like very much what I have to say. I am obviously not politically correct and I find the attempt of some to force such on me quite upsetting.

Oh, and guess what? Once they see me in person they say things like "you of ALL people should not be saying stuff like that"....that is when I break out my loud and irreverent island-style laughter.

Bunch of moronic, sidewalk-cafe intellectuals. They live in a sanitized glass jar and they think they understand the universe. I laugh at them lot. My wife is beginning to suspect I may be using "something." I tell her if I don't I would have lost a my mind long time ago. She is not at all convinced.

Sometimes being politically incorrect can be hurtful. But on the balance, I see that the push for PC in every nook and craney of our lives only ends in making everyone easily offended! It is like it opens the door and teaches us to be offended when otherwise we might just blow it off.

What if we just lived by "correctness" alone? What if we, ourselves, chose to act correctly? Do not correct truth and principles come from a higher source? If so then "charity" comes to mind when we speak and address others. There would be no need for "political" correctness.

Now, there is a concept.

Oh if only we could live like this. That would be such a great place. Lets all build a place like that and move there.

I enjoy LDS PC the best
. For example, when you're talking about someone between sacrement and sunday school and say they're ugly and fat and oozing with zits....and somone asks you to describe that person, or they just come up in the conversation, the Mormon PC thing to say is " Awe isnt she 'such a sweet spirit'".

I have never heard the term 'criss cross applesauce' - it sounds like total nonsense. I've never heard 'Indian style' either though. We just call it 'cross legged'.

I think political correctness causes more problems than it was ever designed to solve. Yes by all means defend people who are being flat out insulted but people are tending to take offence where none was ever intended. We cannot say 'blackboard' in case it offends black people but we can say 'white board'. Whit on earth should an accurate description of a black chalk borad offend anyone of any race or colour? It's crazy.
