All This PC

All this PC

Everyday I listen to the news or read my paper or even converse with my fellow collegues. As i do i realise one main thing (possibly because it is at the forefront of my mind quite a lot), political correctness is taking over society. I once had a conversation with a co-worker the other day and i started to count the amount of times he avoided certain phrases simply because of the company we were in and the possibility of offending them. He then proceeded to cringe in at some of the words i then chose to use. He seemed not to realise that barely any of the people concerned could careless at what words i was using. I work for the mail (not editing or writing the articles mind) so i am often around a lot of people who speak like this. It sometimes pains me to think that all these colourful and creative words are being lost due to some idiots that think they may be offensive.

Sexual language, terms for religions or people with disabilities are amoung the main terms which are frowned upon if not used with PC. The later two are (for the most part acceptable) but the first one...We are all adults and we (in general) have all part-taken in sexual intercourse and many other sexual experiences. It's natural, don't deny it and don't blush at every word i use to describe these acts! Maybe it's just the company i am in a lot but it seems very apparant as i watch TV that old phrases or words (even "sag" when referring to a womens breats is now repaced with "vertical hold") are being lost.

Too much in society are we forever having to change our traditions and our customs to suit the pathetic few that want to come and live in our country. I mean if I were to travel to say, India, and say I were to say that something was offensive over there then I would be told where to shove my opinions, and yet it seems allowable to let them dictate to us what we can and cannot say.I mean, it was preposterous that 'Bah bah black sheep' has to be changed to 'Bah bah rainbow sheep' it is most profoundly stupid and ridiculous. I mean here are a couple others - black bag ~ refuse sack; black board ~ chalk board; gollywogs (banned?!?). Gollywogs are tradition dating back to the 19th century, if they are to ban that then why not rule a total ban on smoking, a total ban on horse racing etc etc. Also, our holy and festive period has been attacked, we can no longer refer to our Christmas lights as Christmas lights but now as festive lights. I mean it is disgusting that we cannot celebrate fully the name of our Lord Jesus Christ (Christmas) any more in public, yet they can go around wearing their headdresses and ridiculous full-length pajamas in public! Next they will be changing Easter eggs into chocolate eggs, or festive eggs.

Also, am I allowed you call you gay? Or do I have to sound all dry and technical and say ‘Homosexual?’ I am not scared or intimidated because you enjoy dick in your ass. On the contrary, I applaud you because a dick in the ass never caused an accidental pregnancy and I’m all for less episodes of ‘Super Nanny.’ I have absolutely no religious objections to man on man love and I think pearls look pretty on boys. My only beef is that I’m not sure what I’m allowed to call you anymore. On top of that, I’m not sure what I’m allowed to call my brother anymore. I used to call him a fag, but I don’t want you to be offended when I insult my fucking brother.
Again: How are we supposed to learn that you’re just like us (only with better fashion sense) if we avoid interaction with you simply because we don’t want to accidentally offend?

Additionally, will you men please stop apologizing after you say anything that can even remotely be seen as sexist? If you quote a statistic you read that says women aren’t usually as good at math as men, I promise I won’t run out of the room in tears. I know that you are not implying that a scientific study totally absent of gender bias proves that women couldn’t possibly be good at math EVER so I should get back into the kitchen RIGHT NOW and make you a chicken pot pie; you are simply pointing out that men, as a whole, are a little better at math. The truth is I’m not good at math. And that’s ok because I do own a calculator. Men and women are different sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they are fundamentally unequal. I’m ok with that. So stop apologizing.
Besides, it would be kind of hypocritical of me to bitch and moan that men don’t understand women only to take offense every time you delve into our brains.

All Muslims are terrorists. Jews are stingy with their money. Chinese women all know how to put on acrylic fingernails. Christians are bigots. Hispanics know everything there is to know about drywall. If you’re a geeky teenage boy and you read a book about vampires, you’ll shoot up your school.
Is any of this shit true? I’d ask, but I don’t want to offend.
