No, I am dismissing the article you posted, because it holds no value and is in no way reliable.

If you would like to post something of at least some sort of scholarly significance, we can discuss that.

Political correctness is ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY. You're well within your rights to be as bigoted as you want. Just don't expect everyone to cheer you on while you do.

Thank you for showing the agenda of Political Correctness. Say what we think is the only way it should be said or you are a bigot, racist, sexist, etc. Horrible destruction of freedom of speech.

No because I don't and there is nothing in a of my posts to suggest I do. So we have started off our intercourse on a lie, yours. that does not bode well for you.

Now, if you have specific complaints from the CANADIAN professors who taught me, and have read my paper on the underground railroad where I researched the stories of slaves who broke free and risked their lives to get to my country and free of the in-bred bastards that were trying to kill them by actually visiting the sons and daughters of slaves in Chatham, Ontario.

And maybe you can correct my prof who spent five years in the deep south researching its history, personally researching because he did not believe US history books. I guess to you he'd be a lyin' Yankee too.

If you're being politically incorrect, you're probably being insensitive, inconsiderate, ignorant, or bigoted.

Sometimes, when you look in the mirror, you don't like what you see. I would advise growing up, maturing, and no longer being pissy about having insensitivity illuminated.

You said: "Nobody is proposing digging up people's graves and desecrating their remains. Calm down your hysterics." and not "This discussion is not about digging up remains." so actually Stone is 100% correct and you need to acknowledge his point, not attempt to blow it off.

Nobody is proposing digging up people's graves [in this thread].

His accusation is ignoring the clear context of the denial. I shut it down because it is not relevant to whether or not the flag should be in the air.

Or are you suggesting that, if we dig up some dead nazis, we should balance it by flying a swastika...?

Thank you for encapsulating the evil of Political Correctness... if you are Politically Incorrect (not speaking as I approve) you are immature. :lol:

Speak like I approve of or I will insult you, proving my maturity. :lol: Can't make this **** up, man. Thanks. Classic comedy. :lol:

No, i explicitly said you're free to be a bigot.

However, we are free to condemn you for it. Boo hoo, people might point out and criticize your blind hate.

You are still deflecting. Just admit he was correct according to what you actually said instead of this posturing bull **** and move on already. :roll:

Lol, how do you think "political correctness" gets defined? Do you think Stalin is writing the rules or something?

I'll tell you, it's democratic. Stop complaining that other people might have valid reasons to criticize public statements.

No, this is the pointless bickering of someone who is desperately struggling to grasp at straws, and came out empty handed.

Obviously it is democratic... where in the hell does a Stalin comment come from anyway? What page are you on because I have already finished the book.

You're whining that this is some concentrated agenda.

Nope. This is the result of global communication. We're trying not to step on each others toes. Except for the assholes who just want to whine about having to consider that there are other types of people in the world.

I didn't say that you, personally, hate anyone. I was speaking rhetorically. Maybe you should stop taking it so personally?

You are talking to me. You used the word "you". I asked a question to clarify. You clarified. Now we move on. Easy. Is this not how you think communication should proceed?

Certainly not by you, pappy and that biased nonsense link you posted. Like I said anecdotal evidence in the realm of debate means exactly 0. Not even based on any kind of a fact... just your wrong opinion.

Right to keep men and women in bodage and gain profit by the fruits of their labor without fair recompense? The right to enact laws that made it illegal for people of different races to marry? To be against giving minorities any kind of civil rights?

And that is just a short list. You might want to look into the mirror and ask yourself why you like lying about southern history.

It is an agenda... that is how democracy works. How is talking about it "whining"? Oh, because it does not agree with what you deem appropriate?

Is using the word retarded being an asshole? How about mentally-challenged?

You conveniently left this part out: "especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)".
Click to expand...

Incorrect.

The part I posted applies because "especially" does not mean "only"...

I left it out so as to not confuse those that might be easily confused...

But you went out of your way to confuse yourself, but at least I tried..
