The Stupidity of trying to be Politically Correct
Been hearing this phrase being thrown around and finally got a few people to tell me what this is supposed to mean. They tell me that it's simply watching what you say and where you say it because it could be considered offensive and if anyone or any group considers what you said or what you do as offensive then by default it is. While this may work and make sense for many, it does not to me and therefore I call “stupid” on it. Not because I do not care about the feelings or others or that I have not been the victim of offensive language directed toward me. I call “stupid” on it because like being sin-free, it is virtually impossible to be and stay politically correct based on that definition. It’s impossible because in order not to offend, one must then have complete control over how their words or actions are taken by another person or a group of people. Since none of us possess that power, how can you expect to be politically correct in all and ever...
