PC WTF

After doing English revision, it reminded me of the class we had where we looked at two texts about political correctness.

This lesson stook out for me as I strongly disagree with the PC society we live in. WTF is it all about... that's what I say.

Sure we have language which we all consider to be taboo... c u next tuesday... if you catch my drift... and the all dreaded N word. But it has gone completely to far.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow there has been, are, and will be people who offend other people. Thats life. We don't live in a world where everyone is nice with each other... People get called... people get bullied... people get insulted... that is what happens. And, as sad as it sounds, that is how things are always going to be.

I believe that words are not offensive unless the reasoning behind using the word is to offend. Does that make sense? If not here I'll explain.

If one of my friends said to me "Mark, you are the biggest puff I've ever met"

Would I be offended... would I balls. People consider the word "puff" to be degrading, but at the end of the day I am a puff, queer, gayboy, so what else are they surpose to call me.

Now if it was a pilled-up 40 year old man shouting "Oi, Puff, fuck off"... then the word puff in that context would be considered offensive.

If I called someone a Nigger, Paki etc I wouldn't consider it to be offensvie, unless I used it in a offensive way... which I wouldn't.

I think people have become too soft. By changing 'mind map' to 'thought granade' just makes more nonoffensive nouns into offensive ones.

Just because some sad act thought it was an insult the entire thing has to be changed... My message to them is... get over it you tosser!
