Listening to the news today I hear how we shouldn't have shown those pictures of the Hussain demon twins because it would be offensive to the muslims.

I look at 9-11 and I'm still offended about that.

We buckle under at the thought we might offend someone. I for one am getting tired of the whole PC BS.

Certainly, by now, more people should see PC( and it's buzzword,'offended') as the insidious and very effective method of censorship that it is. At least in communist and socialist countries it is the government that gags you. PC makes everyone your censor- in fact, it teaches you to censor yourself and demands you alter not just your speech but your thinking.
Mao wasn't nearly as efficient, or dangerous, to independent thought.

As for the Muslims being offended- well, they have-and continue to- offend every civilization they have encountered. I don't see them stopping any of their barbaric thinking to appease non-Muslim sensibilities. I figure it's way past time that we start 'offending' them.

Getto was started in Middle-Ages Venice so that Christians would not be offended at the sight and/or conduct of Jews.

Interesting that professional, hard-core, smokestack blowing anti-semitism has at it's root this idea that government action must be taken against "offensive" people!

I reserve the right to offend anybody, anytime, anywhere. In fact, I reserve the right to ENJOY offending people if I wish.

All of that is an explanation for why the Second Amendment (right of self defense with weapons of choice) follows the First Amendment (freedom of religion, freedom of speech).

The rest of the world is different, and anybody who disagrees with our rights is privileged to leave for somewhere else, and the sooner the better.

Proud to be NOT PC.
