> [@Giraffe](#): > > My, what a daring OP! I can hardly contain my girlish shrieks of outrage at the impropriety of it all! I only hope you’ll use your dashing bravery to expose other corrupt elements of our society, like those vending machines that don’t take wrinkled dollar bills or airplane peanuts. Airplane peanuts, I only wish! Noooo. The PC bastards have stolen even those precious foil packs containing 2 to 5 nuts from us (some settling may occur during shipping) for fear that the mystical nut vapor would travel through the air at levels that would only be considered meaningful to a practitioner of homeopathy and cause some poor peanut intolerant tofu and lawn-clipping eating, fern-sniffing new age Rastafarian fuck to experience momentary disharmony. This could cause his self-actualizing anima to be impacted by negative toxicity and therefore prompt a lawsuit until holistic healing was achieved (which I understand is greatly facilitated by steaming piles of undeserved cash). ---

> [@Airman Doors](#): > > That said: Are you out of your fucking mind? You can’t say stuff like that here, even if you do have some good points (albeit very ignorantly espoused). You’re gonna get ground into dog meat. So how do you tell what folks pile on him for: the sentiments or the “ignorant espousing”? Frankly, these days, the people who espouse some of the feelings the OP does the loudest tend to be extremely ignorant, sometimes by folks who think that being “un-PC” gives them free reign to say whatever they want to whoever and anyone offended is just wrong, so I think it’s understandable that some people are a little touchy about these matters. (Whew, that sentence was way too long.) ---

Actually, I just returned from a trip wherein I flew on four different airplanes on two different airlines (Southwest and America West), and recieved tiny packets of peanuts (both dry and honey roasted) on each flight. I was shocked, I tell you, shocked. Pretty tasty peanuts, though. ---

Did I say “humans are the ultimate evolutionary product?” Did I say “we’re somehow special?” Well? No, I didn’t. **Lobsang** stated animals were _better_ that humans. I think that’s stupid. That doesn’t mean I think humans are better than animals, fuck you very much. That doesn’t mean I think humans are special, fuckwad. You didn’t even get your numbers right, assmunch.

Easily offended people should eat dynamite. **Deagan** sounds like a total fucking moron. The two, fortunately, are not mutually exclusive. Mega-overgeneralizing doesn’t make for much of an argument, and the fact that some people go too far for a cause doesn’t mean there isn’t some kind of point behind it anyway. Anybody else amused by the fact that someone whose handle ends with “The Wolf” would make such idiotic comments about animals and the environment? :smack: I think **skutir** is right, actually. If I’m gonna come down here and read people whining, for fuck’s sake I’d like it to be reasonably amusing or current. Roughly 95% of the populace acknowledges that everything PC-related is dumb. It’s been the subject of lots of comedy for ten years now. I would venture to guess literally millions of people have said the same things **Deagan** has, only funnier and more insightfully. ---

> [@Starving Artist](#): > > Say what?!? What I’m asking is, is there any whinier more put upon drama queen psuedo victim than the white male American? To put it another way, shut the fuck up, you whiny little bitches. You want to shrug off the complaints of people who’ve been oppressed for centuries, then have a little hissy fit because you can’t get peanuts on airplane or because some woman on TV tells you your a bastard. So I ask: Is there any worse kind of whiny little bitch than the white male American, the wealthiest and most powerful demographic on the planet? The question is rhetorical, because the answer is obvious. The white male American is, in fact, the most ingrateful, self-pitying, wretched and pathetic of the PC “I’m a victim” stereotype. I happen to be one, myself, but I call 'em as I see 'em. Nobody has less to complain about, but nobody complains more. ---

> [@Starving Artist](#): > > Okay, that takes care of the first sentence of your original post. Now, what does the second one mean? I’m the first to admit it’s a mess. I wish I could it edit it. “Assumedly whatever it is they hate about political correctness, they perform to the nth degree.” What a lot of people complain about in political correctness is that these various groups complain, that they claim to be victimized, that they demand some kind of respect they haven’t earned. As the OP so aptly illustrates, these staunch opponents of PC become, in my opinion, the worst offenders of incessant and unnecessary complaining, feeling victimized, feeling the world owes them something, etc. Back to DeaganWolf: You say., “We don’t need political correctness. We NEED a society who simply does it’s best to get along and be decent human beings.” Well, you don’t seem to be part of the solution, dude. Don’t be a hater. ---

This just in, my white brothers – **skutir** has spoken for us. If something is wrong in your life, or if you have a gripe about anything…SHUTUP! Until the white race is oppressed for centuries, we have nothing to complain about and life is grand. I was really feeling down, but you have just brightened up my morning and my life. **skutir** , You’re so enlightened! How do you do it? I’d love to bring some white-guilt baggage on board with my peaches-and-cream life in this kickass demographic we’re in. If only I could figure out how… Is there some correspondence course I can sign up for?
