Noted already, is it still a stupid coment as I also noted that the Unabomber missed most of what Al Gore said in his book, Gore trusts the scientists, right wing nuts do not.
:smack: I guess the point has sailed over your head. Not for the first time either!
Ah, your obtuse act again, typical as well as even more idiotic. As others already pointed out the Unabomber and Al Gore do not have the same views.
And, as others already pointed out, the Unabomber and Al Gore do not have the same views as much as you huff and puff; as I noticed before anyone that claims to be aware of AGW and the dangers should not be so ignorant about what Gore is all about, even scientists that are conservative know that he is more often correct than wrong.

It’s a social construct. It is often (including most of the time in the American context) tied to biology, but that’s not always true.
I think you just want to be able to use the shaming epithet of “racist”. I don’t blame you, it’s a very effective means of argument 
@ GIGObuster,
As I said, the point sailed over your head. Don’t worry, I think I’ll just correspond with Brain Glutton who shows a much higher level of understanding.
Yup, caught me. I just can’t stand to sit in the (lily white) radiance emanating from your fine, sharpened intellect, so I am reduced to throwing mud at you to bring you down. Now I shall be forced to kill myself in shame.
(Or, you know, maybe you’re actually racist. And also don’t know what you’re talking about.)
(ETA: for all others reading this, note that I am white, and I don’t think being white is in any sense a bad thing.)
You do not get do you? It is not only you who I’m replying for, but for all those who would not get your “fine” points.
In the end you make them only to mislead others, but who cares?
I’m just saying what the record is actually about Al Gore, that you try to make idiotic points is duly noted.
…Well, we do sunburn overly easily. There’s that.
I actually don’t! But it does hurt my natural ability to camouflage at night. There is that.
When I tell you that the Frankfurt School was behind the “Political Correctness”-revolution in the 60s, the liberal response is: That is a conspiracy theory, the real reason was “it just happened”.
However, when it comes to usernames, ooh then there is noooothing called “it just happened”. There must be some sort of theory behind. And this time you may be right, though. Because I wanted to use the name “Raleigh” but it was already taken, and then I added something to “rhyme” with Raleigh.
I consider myself liberal in almost all issues except immigration and state funded discrimination (aka affirmative action=real racism).
If you don’t realize that “Political Correctness” uses the same technique as the swindling weavers in “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, or that a racist can only be someone who considers members of a society to have different rights based on their race belonging (e.g Jim Crow or yourself), then that is your problem.
This is the Pit, the place to hurl insults at those who have earned them. You’ve never made an argument worth answering, anyway. (We’ve got some bright folks here who are still trying. Good for them.) Can’t you come up with something better than “retarded”? That’s so fifth grade…
Oh, RR: I went to school in Genoa & Pasadena & Houston (in Texas)–not Frankfurt. (German settlers gave us New Braunfels, Fredericksburg, Boerne, Schulenburg & Weimar–but no Frankfurt.)
With all of Sweden’s problems, why aren’t you trying to help your own country? You aren’t convincing anyone here.
I think American liberals and Hollywood have inspired Sweden to pursue the ideology of “Political Correctness”. That is why I am here to inform you about what is going on in my country. Hopefully, Obama can tell the establishment in Sweden to slow down on immigration, and Hollywood could produce a movie about the British Concentration Camps starring Mel Gibson, to ease the burden on Germans.
I am just joking!
I just write here to improve my English. There is no conspiracy theory behind my presence here.
Bridget Burke, why do you write here? Can’t you find a message board in Texas instead of this Chicago-based board?
I know you’ve already had it explained to you that Political Correctness, as deals with immigration, hasn’t been around very long. And that it began as an ironic term. Yet you persist it is primarily about immigration and that the US is leading the charge.
Even now, political correctness in the US is still more about women, minorities (native born, no less), and the GLBT community. I guess this slipped past your internal filters.
Chicago based? The regular posters are literally from all over the country. Actually, many regular posters are international. Is this really the best you can come up with?
I’d be more impressed with an epithet than this garbage.
Also, New Braunfels and Fredericksburg rock! Go Texas Germans. Also Czechs, to get the “Southern” Europeans (as RR would label them) involved. Good brauts, beer, and kolaches all in the same region.
When did anyone say “it just happened”? I’m pretty sure other posters have explained the origins of PC, either in this thread or one of your others. If you want to keep claiming the Frankfurt School is behind it, offer some proof. Otherwise, STFU, you’re not going to convince anyone through endless repetition.
No kidding. Wasn’t the whole PC thing started as an ironic term among women’s and minority groups? Back in the ? 60s? 70s?
Yes. It was initially a bit of a joke because some of us thought the language was being bent a bit far to avoid insulting people who hadn’t indicated they felt insulted.
The humorless crew seized on the phrase because they were pissed when people started raising their eyebrows at the racial, ethnic & sexist slurs they loved so much.
Another retarded comment Bridget 
If you were capable of responding to other peoples arguments you would have done so previously. I don’t think you’re up to it unfortunately. That’s ok, there are other’s here like Brain Glutton who are able to do so.
How many times do you need to be told? There is no such ideology. Not unless you mean it as a euphemism for “anti-racism.” And that quasi-officially-prevailing-almost-everywhere-in-the-industrialized-nations ideology cannot be blamed on/credited to the Frankfurt School or Herbert Marcuse or even Hollywood. The forces that made it are much bigger than that.
It is where it applies, racist.
