I'm worse than that, and a liar too, just for good measure. I'm so bad that even the rest of the bad won't claim me. I do PC stuff just to get away with the bad stuff behind everybody's back.

This post appears to be dishonest so yes, you are a liar as evidenced by this post which is one big lie... but I like how you insult me all over the place for no reason. Real class...

Thank you. I have standards. They're on the back of one of my trucks, but I have 'em. Qualms, too. I keep those in a little wooden box under the Krishnamurti books.

Nice talking to and the irrelevancy of your insults...
 
Real or not... some think it isn't and they are generally the ones guilty of being Politically Correct. :lol:

Thoughts....
"Political correctness" is a right-wing snarl word for "social pressure."

People on both the left and the right apply extreme social pressures to get their way, to stifle dissent (especially within their own groupings), to block discussion or debate of certain topics. Almost everyone has a blind spot in this respect.

E.g. There should be no question that if a student at Liberty University made public statements in favor of SSM, they would be sanctioned, punished and possibly expelled. (I don't know if they'd be harassed by other students, but it is certainly possible.) If a student at UC Berkeley made public statements against SSM, they would be ostracized and probably harassed, but not sanctioned, punished or expelled unless they violated university rules.

The idea that this rather basic human tendency is somehow inextricably linked to one specific political persuasion is slightly ridiculous.

I guess I'll have to work on the PC thing. I was gonna smother puppies and have 'em on the grill, but instead, in a tip of the hat to PC, I'll have kittens instead. There's more of them than puppies. I hope I'm making progress. Yes, it's irrelevant. So what? Ooooohh. PC stuff. I'll get relevant. PC is BS. Examine your thoughts and what may be behind them, then say what you think. How's that?
 
Why would it be odd to see a male flight attendent today when in your mom's day they were women?

I had just gotten used to the idea of flight attendants being women, especially hearing my mom talk about the height and weight requirements (you had to look like a supermodel at all times in that job) that I just never pictured a male flight attendant. Things have changed since the 70's

WHOOSH... I think you sarcasm went way over my head before... my bad.

ahhhh. got it. Not that I demand it but as a man, having a pretty flight attendent sure is nice. Here we have a very small airport and flight industry so I see the same flight attendents a lot and most on domestic flights are women here and damn if a couple wouldn't be top models, destroying most. :)

Sorry. My fault. Just having fun. I've been known to be a little sarcastic. Now and then. The PC stuff is a curse that cuts too many ways to mention. I'm not sure how far from reality we can get, but I think we're exploring the limits.

We don't interact much and I am usually the more sarcastic by far with others so you throw me from time to time... :lol:
 
Wow why? They were both being PC from different directions...
Wow at you thinking that I was deflecting rather than recognizing that I was communicating indifference towards your anecdote.
 
I accidentally said "stewardess" during my last flight to my daughter and a guy showed up and I thought "I am glad nobody heard me"... how stupid is that just because I am older and that WAS THE TERM FOREVER back in the day.

Yeah, now they're all "flight attendants": "rrring" Please attend to me....

And there are no more actresses either: everyone's an "actohr"!

I recognized the indifference quite easily... THAT was the deflection.

At first I thought you were just misinterpreting my dismissal. Now I realize that you probably don't know what the word "deflection" means.

:lol: You are funny. Your attempt to "dimiss" was the "deflection"...

A person at an orphanage wearing a shirt that reads "I rape and murder babies". Is that politically correct to you?
