Understood, even by a Mick like me.

Sorry, I'm the guy that would tell all the PC police to go get laid or have a drink and stop wetting themselves every time they hear or see something MIGHT be taken as offensive by maybe one person in the crowd.

I'm also the guy who gets tired of my kid being taught that everyone deserves a trophy just for showing up. We should reward achievement, not attendance.

I agree with you.... You can't even use the "letter after M word " anymore without someone getting all uppity

You're right. Even the letter has to go.

I recall when this man was forced to resign when he offended others by using a legitimate word. Fortunately he was rehired.

Don't think it's racist or funny. You have to be looking for it if you do. If the word was "watermelon" or "weave" then yeah, but you are looking for stereotypes if you think uppity is funny. You were probably the only one who cringed.

Man, I've learned that if you raise certain subjects on this board there are some posters who are going to assume you've taken a position that they can get all riled up about (even if, in reality, you agree with their overall position). Go figure.

Here I am a full blown conservative libertarian, and yet, some people still think I'm left of center. It's crazy, right?

Well, I'm not nearly the lefty some people seem to think I am. But I may have exaggerated the conservative libertarian part a bit.
