Political Correctness - Gone Mad? (25)
petalbabe: I hope you'll tell me how that dream works out.
Still don't think that qualifies as a politically correct or incorrect issue, by my understanding of what that term means. For instance, one wouldn't call someone politically incorrect for asking "Do you dye your hair?" or "Have you had plastic surgery?" Those kinds of questions would generally just be considered bad-mannered because they're (possibly) invasive. If you're going to use "politically correct/incorrect" to label those kinds of behaviors, then the term would apply to virtually every manner of objectionable behavior, thereby rendering it worthless, no?[/quote
I agree. It shouldnt have been a PC issue.
It was not me who labeled anything! Thats the point! I think it was ridiculous.
Just passing on my own experience, is all..

Tater: Hell I'm still mad because "THEY" decided that I should have to capitalize letters, put spaces between words and put comma's inbetween my runon sentences....
I am one of "Them".....I am abhored at the short cuts people take now when typing a profile, post, email or IM.

Thing is, no joke was intended. Was just asking a simple, civil question, and got slated for it.
Mad, mad world.
