Tell us Kali, what's your favorite euphemism?....:2razz:
Mock and make fun all you wish.:roll:

Being PC---should be banned. Just tell the truth, and let people get over themselves.--big babies.It's not 'PC'.....
Isn't that enough to ban anything?.....:roll:
My comment was just meant in jest--I apologize if it was found to be offensive.Mock and make fun all you wish.:roll:

Some of us never bought into the whole PC notion to start with. Just seems wimpy and sissified to worry about every little thing one says, because somebody may get their little feelings hurt.---I say grow up, and get over it---say something back, if you don't like what is being said. No requirement to just take it.
So no respect for anyone else is required?
That doesn't work in the real world, or on moderated boards. Most of us learned manners as children. Grow up.
This thread gives me hope that political correctness might die soon. I hope it happens in every household at he same time and everyone is reading how some douche got offended at this word or that and frustration reaches the tipping point and we all shout a unified "F this!!". Then we all run out in the street and I will say "I am a half breed honky kike!!" and my neighbor will say "Sup honky kike, I am a negro!!" and we will run down the street arm in arm screaming "I'm a negro lovin Jew!! I'm a negro lovin Jew!!" surrounded by everyone else who has had enough of this garbage and they will be screaming their own no-longer-offensive phrases and all the hippie's hackey sacks will fall into the gutter, and the world will heal. :mrgreen:

Respect, and PC, are not one and the same thing
Respect & PC are two different things......
Respect is earned....
A tree is cut down and somebody gets offended.
No not tolerated, but allowed. People don't have to like what you say, but you have every right to say it anyhow--In America. ---People have the "right" to burn our Flag, (how PC is that?) but they best not let me catch them doing it. ---Freedom is not free.I didn't say that. You implied that ANYTHING should be tolerated. Some things are PC nonsense, and some things are just disrespectful. And guess what? We can disagree about which are which.
You get one sentence, maybe......Not this kind of respect. You get it just for being a human being.
I'm talking about basic decency and manners. You did learn that stuff, right?

No, a tree gets cut down and somebody gets pissed off. Entirely different thing.
but people have a right to be an Aholes if they choose. I ran into a couple at Krogers just today. ---I will defend a persons right to burn the flag, as long as they understand that I will exercise my rights to strongly object to them doing so. I have fought for much less.--I would never tell them they didn't have the right, just that like with all rights, there are consequences.This isn't about rights. It's about not being an a-hole.
So first you complain that others complain about what you say, then you say you'll retaliate against someone who expresses their views by burning a flag. Make up your mind.

Burning flags wouldn't be any fun in no one objected or found it offensive. No one would do it.
Personally, I've never felt the urge to burn a flag - until someone tried to make it illegal.
Well then, here's some more disagreeing we can do---I have met many Human beings, that get no respect from me, at all. they don't act respectable, so that is how I treat them. Like you say, It's my call.---I'm sure some folks may feel that way about me. --and that is their call.Not this kind of respect. You get it just for being a human being. I'm talking about basic decency and manners. You did learn that stuff, right?
Then you will deal with the repercussions as well......
