If you whine about political correctness, you're a bigot

Whatever, I have no desire for a “reset button” from you, so don’t trouble yourself.

It is no trouble whatsoever Guin. I am just letting you know that the option is still open for you or anyone ekse similar to you if you ever happen to mature by some fluke of nature.

Take Care,

Thanks for that - I spend too much of my life saying “I don’t have Aspergers, I am aspergian”. Similarly, I don’t ‘have’ maleness, I don’t ‘have’ homosexuality, I don’t ‘have’ left-handedness and so on (though I do ‘have’ grey hair, I do ‘have’ big feet etc…I’m not sure can I draw a clear line between the cases).

You just don’t get it. In fact, for a lot of disabilities it’s neither…it’s that society has steps. Actual stairs, rather than ramps, I mean - someone whose illness, injury or condition requires a wheelchair often isn’t disabled until they reach the stairs.

You’re not even right about not being right. Well, no, there’s quite a bit of truth in there, but it’s a tad condescending to tell disabled people what they should be concerned about. Currently, I’m most concerned about people who talk of ‘people with disabilities’ as though we were an homogenous group; those who think that they can best help by perpetuating a victim narrative; and those who dismiss actual concerns about the language used to frame others’ experience as not ‘actual’ difficulties.

If you hate my condescending tone so much, why do you attack me in the Pit, which is pretty much the only time I pull it out? I know it gets under your skin. That’s the point.

It’s also cute that you think you’re kicking me in the nuts.

And I guess “coined” is too big a vocabulary word for you. I was there when it was first used, moron.

shut your twat

Ummmm, phrasing?

Is it a vocabulary issue for you Rune or just reflexive jerkiness? I mean, being aggressively stupid despite what seems to be a functioning intellect is sad enough, but the deliberate offensiveness that strives to condescend yet remains totally devoid of any original thought itself, well… that’s like the cherry-bomb on top of your usual shit-for-brains sundae.

It’s reflexive jerkiness. Now go shut your trap

It was a rhetorical question, but thanks.

Clearly you didn’t have a Mammy to raise you right.

And while the O is purportedly a hot dog shop, that’s really just an obvious facade for their french fry clearinghouse business.

no, it doesn’t.

reading this thread and seeing who thinks “PC” is some kind of problem just confirms that it is not a problem.

so stop whining about it.

Your message of forgiveness would probably go over better if it wasn’t slathered quite so generously with smug.

The hypocrisy is only surpassed by the cowardliness of many in this thread and the so-called the pit. Engaging in hostile and nasty communication solely because you feel empowered by anonymity and in the company of like-minded sycophants while critiquing how others communicate is funny. I doubt many in here actually get in someone’s face and communicate in the style they communicate here.

Faux outrage from those afraid of the PC-brigade has claimed another victim. RIP Hulk Hogan’s career. Fired for a word your own boss used on national TV.

Huh? What are you whining about? Are you saying people do not have a problem with PC because you say they can’t?

He don’t know me vewwy well, do he? </Bugs Bunny>

I’m so glad you showed up. You are precisely the sort the OP is talking about.

Basically, your entire participation on this board has been to defend the confederacy and defend other people saying nasty things about black people. You’re a fucking racist douchebag who is too cowardly to admit it.

… oh and too late to add, but all hot dog restaurants begin and end with Heid’s of Liverpool.

Well to be fair, does he really have to admit it to be true? Some things are just accepted on their face. I have been called an unfiltered sailor-mouthed asshole for most of my days and have never really had to say the words. It’s kind of understood.

The concept of free speech is beyond you and your like minded pack. And what’s the point of defending inoffensive free speech? That’s just pointless. Call the ACLU, some man said “I like pie!” That sort of thing doesn’t require defense.

It’s people like you who demonize free speech that leads to situations like this. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/21/us/mississippi-to-investigate-death-of-a-black-man-who-raised-confederate-flag.html Whereas, people like myself, who believe in free speech and civility, even on ‘offensive’ subjects find the death of an innocent tragic.

Here is a critique of your orthodoxy. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/27/antiracism-our-flawed-new-religion.html If you need it parsed into little words just hollar!

You’re genuinely holding yourself up as an example of civility in discourse?
