The "Really ?!?!?!?!" Thread

IMO we need to dial back the use of the Politically Correct label. It`s gotten to the point that merely being considerate/courteous/polite gets that. Like, "disagree with my boorish behavior and you`re PC!", usually spoken by somebody who has zero real first-hand experience with genuine Political Correctness.

I`ve been criticized...*CRITICIZED as being PC*...for saying "Happy Holidays" to somebody! Like...my hope that somebody, regardless of their World View, has a nice Holiday Season was grounds for some, uhmm...rather unfiltered criticism (by somebody whom I presume fancies himself a Christian).

I know *DEVOUT* Christians who don`t celebrate Christmas (they don`t consider it "Biblical"). I know Jews who *DO* celebrate Christmas right along with Hanukkah. I know atheists who celebrate *all* of the various holidays of this time of year..if in their own secular ways...and are filled with happiness, joy, and love for their fellow man. What`s to criticize about any of those folks and what`s to criticize if I cover all the bases with "Happy Holidays"?

Funny, I just feel like we need to dial back the feeling that we need to be politically correct, period. Decent people shouldn’t need to scrutinize one another to see if they have said something that may potentially be offensive to anyone who is in earshot. People can be offended over anything they choose. Let’s face it, we all make mistakes in what we say and do. It doesn’t mean we had the intention of hurting someone.

My neighbor has been leaf blowing his front yard for almost two hours now. I swear it`s just a hobby of his. Every Monday.

Gearhead_1- Right. IMO, "PC" is just an incendiary term that both sides of the aisle use to promote their agendas.

512Detail- Heh heh, wish I could keep *our* leaves under control with just a couple hours per week!

Was thinking abut getting Elizabeth Warren a dna test for Christmas.

It would stop a lot of arguments.

Apparently she tries to benefit from a claim to Native American ancestry, which some dispute. Our Tweeter-in-Chief called her "Pocahontas" at an event honoring Navajo Code-Talkers.

Heh heh, entities such as Gatestone is simply not what I consider worthy of attention. Whichever side of the aisle it comes from, when supposed "journalism" is so obnoxiously biased, it`s something to be scraped off one`s shoe.
