Political correctness is oppression of our intellectual movements

Could you image if people wanted to impose laws so that EVERYONE was politically correct?

It's like putting a curb chain on each person as they walk around, letting the end drag, and the authorities could yank on it when you were out of line.

"I want to live in a democracy, but I never want to be offended again!" OXYMORON.

"you can't say that- someone might be offended by it"
And what happens when someone gets offended? I mean, being offended is subjective, right? Each person has their own set of core values, beliefs, their traditions, their opinions. Being offended is directly related to you as an individual, or you as a group of people, or as a collective or a community or society.... Are we really supposed to walk around on eggshells around everyone IN CASE we might offend them?

Side note- what offends you probably doesn't offend me... so how can they make a law that blankets offensiveness??? And is this really truly seriously a topic of discussion? Maybe I'll move to the UK... they even have naked weather girls there... and they have no problem saying "Oy! F*ck off mate" for no reason. They sound like nice people, they sound like my kind of people.

When did "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me" stop being the motto??

When we got called names, our parents would calm us down and say "don't worry about it" or in the famous words of Elsa "Let it go!"... because ACTIONS spoke louder than words.

"I'm Italian"
"I'm offended, because back in the mobster days an Italian whacked a friend of the family and we never let that go, so you must be a scumbag too".
"I'm offended you just called me a scumbag because I only call people that when they've actually done something to me and earned that title."

If you are conditioned to be offended on a regular basis, or to always be the victim, you will be offended by everything. If you are conditioned to turn the other check or let others be (live and let live? ever heard that saying??) or anything like that- then you will keep on keeping on.

Agree to disagree.

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea

Kevin Hart has said what every normal person feels/believes...

As I sit here in my pajamas, trying to finish eating cold oatmeal and drink cold coffee, with my 3 month old daughter fussing at my side- the little dictator that she is- I say to myself, "Wow, if only 20-year-old me could see me now". What do I mean when I say that? I mean I was pretty much hell on wheels until I was 28. A hot mess for too long. In no way a role model or even proud of myself for .... anything really. I didn't speak eloquently or smartly, I was often not a respectful person towards other, I was probably down right insensitive. And I was kinda a tramp. Not exactly the kind of person you'd want around kids or even to take home to meet Mom and Grandma. But, hey- PEOPLE CHANGE. In the words of Kevin Hart: "   If you don't believe that people change, grow, evolve as they get older, I don't know what to tell you. If you want to hold people in a position where they always have to justify or explain their past, then do you."   Can we all

Zoey Tur V Ben Shapiro... feelings V facts

There is a video of a Trans man (a man who charades as a woman of sorts?) named Zoey Tur (Inside Edition reporter) engaging in a conversation with Ben Shapiro (Breitbart News senior editor-at-large). It seems they were supposed to be having some sort of debate about whether Caitlin Jenner, also trans (a man who charades as a woman of sorts?), deserved the "woman of the year award" for 'bravery'. It erupted when Ben stated that Caitlin is in no way a woman, and neither is Zoey, because- FACTS. Fav line ever:  "Facts don't care about your feelings." Ben refuses to live in Zoey's reality. Ben refuses to accept things that are not based on facts. Ben sees the facts and will not be bullied into saying, doing, or believing anything illogical. At one point, the panel started getting raucous and off topic, so Ben Shapiro asked if the discussion was supposed to be on genetics and asked Zoey, “What are your genetics, sir?” (because, FACTS) Zoey proceeded
