many here fell into the trap of admitting to watch the Oscars

So you agree with Scorehead's statement that all political correctness is just a tool of liberals to further their agendas?

Social media happened. Now people like to grandstand and express their "outrage" over things that might merit nothing more that a slightly furrowed brow.

This.

These watchdog "groups" just want their 5 minutes on TV so they can raise money and whatnot.

You can't simultaneously say that Romney deserved an apology and then whine about liberals driving political correctness. Either it's all fair game or nothing's fair game. There is no in between. Once we start dictating what people can/can't say, it's over.

No, I'm telling him it's illogical to do so. The "can't" in my sentence isn't literal, in case you needed help interpreting.

Of course there is an in between. I don't think making fun of Romney's black grandchild is even a case of political correctness. It's much worse than that.

I thought it was a bad comment. We don't disagree on that.

But just to be clear, you think there is an in-between of us forcing people into what they can/cannot say? You don't think that's a slippery slope?

I'm saying there is a difference between obviously offensive comments and political correctness.

I've noticed that the most sensitive people are usually the ones that lack awareness or have no problem offending someone else. We see it around here all the time.

3. She may have said something that offended a few, but for some here or anywhere to actually call her "Cutting Edge", I am guessing you live an "Ultra Suburban" life style.

I think you guys should just go ahead and name whoever you are talking about, I am sure they would have no issues with it.

If nobody is offended then the joke probably isn't funny

What's obvious to you and I isn't so obvious to a lot of people. Some things were "okay" to say or do not that long ago. Old habits are hard to break for some and they may not be trying to offend.

You can be sensitive and not expect it to change other people's behavior.


Im sensitive, but you'll never hear me bitching about a comment or joke made about me or asking for an apology.


What are you saying here? Dp you think she should apologize to the Transexual community?

I was talking about you.

I have. You've complained a few times when I was purposely being an asshole.

I didn't see this exchange.

The comments about Romney's grand child were way past offensive. Especially when considering the history of the moderator where the comments were made.

And snide remarks about McCain's inability to use a cell phone fall in a similar realm. Mocking a disabled vet has nothing to do with political correctness.

I can dislike and call you out on trolling, thats not what were talking about here.

I have never asked anyone here for an apology or asked anyone to change their behavior.

Thats the deal here. Of course everyone can be offended by whatever. Its the apology demand that's unreasonable.

Please post the link where I asked for an apology or asked you to stop posting like that.


You wont find it, because it doesnt exist. I understand that my view or response on things is my own and Im not arrogant enough to make the connection "Im offended= so the other guy should stop and apologize"


I assume that's a terrible way to live your life
