I think McVeigh should get the same sentence that Lon Horiuchi gets. If Horiuchi goes free, so should McVeigh.
Well, Zero Tolerance seems to be pretty fucking PC right now, but I think it’s lazy fascist bullshit so there’s my first anti-PC stance. Of course, that opinion is pretty damn PC on this particular board, so I’m not feeling the whole Rebel Thang as I write this.
I think people who write pseudocusswords are pussies. Either write “fuck” or “shit” or “ass”, or leave the word out entirely. Spare me the “motherf-ing @$$hole” comments.
I think it should be perfectly legal to crowbar a double parked car.
I eat meat, and favor animal experimentation, EXCEPT the needless shit that cosmetics companies have been known to do. What’s that? Fifty pounds of mascara in my eye can harm me, according to bunny experiments? I’ll keep that in mind.
I believe that people have the right to kill themselves through any stupid actions they want to take, as long as it doesn’t affect anyone else. So go ahead and smoke/take drugs/drink/whatever, but if you do it in a public place (smoking) or try driving (Drinking and drug taking), you should be flogged, at best.
SUVs on pavement only: Coming into the parking garadge today at work, I saw an SUV in front of me come to an almost complete stop to get over a speedbump. This person needs to be bitchslapped.
As had been said previously, I think people should have to prove themselves viable to breed (I need a license to vote, hunt, fish or borrow a book from the library, yet any moron can spawn? Doesn’t seem right, somehow).
I think the world would be a better place if all the child molesters, mass murderers,and rapists were uncerimoniously shot in the back of the head. No book deals, no sensationalism. When a rabid dog is put down, it doesn’t make the evening news.
I proudly fly the (old) state flag. You know the one.
I watch Fox news.
I’m a white male.
I’m heterosexual.
I eat leather and wear meat.
I have nothing against old people, but they should start having mandatory drivers tests starting at 60. Then again at 65, 70 and then every 2 years. They can’t pass, they don’t drive. Get your 16-year-old grand child to take you out for more Depends.
When I screw something up royally or do something like stub my toe, I’ll sometimes mutter “nigger.” It’s an exclamation, not a racial commentary. To me, it’s the same as saying “fuck,” or “dammit,” both of which I also say regularly, or whenever.
I eat meat. I’ve never thought twice about it.
I’m not an alcoholic, I’m a binge drinker. There is a difference.
I speed (a lot), but I use my signals and don’t cut people off. I think other drivers are morons and assholes, esp. those that don’t signal, cut people off and “lane-drift.”
I laugh and point at the kids wearing the baggy, oversized pants while saying, audibly, “Idiot.” I don’t actually think this is un-PC, though, I think those morons wearing cloths that don’t fit and leave their ass hanging out is un-PC.
I call those wonderful black, tight pants that women often wear to clubs “ass-pants.” Mmmm, ass-pants…
I believe in sex on whatever date you happen to get around to it. On the zero-th date, if possible. One-night stands don’t bother my conscience. I’ve been engaged and was treated worse towards the end of that than any woman I’ve had a random hook-up with.
I own a pistol and an “assault” rifle and try to take/introduce as many of my friends (to) shooting as possible.
I’m in the upper middle-class, single, white, male with a solid 401k, some healthy stocks, good money in the bank, decent IRAs and my only debt is ~$2,000 left on my student loan. People that live from paycheck to paycheck, buying a too-big house, a too-expensive car/SUV and having spoiled kids who then find themselves fucked when the job market dries up are idiots. I don’t sympathize with them, I gloat that I have planned ahead and will have, as it stands now, an 8-month or better cushion if I lost my job this afternoon. If you can’t make ends meet when you have a job, what the hell did you think would happen?
Every woman I’ve ever dated has been stunningly attractive and fit. It’s not discrimination, it’s a simple fact of occurrence. I have plenty of un-attractive-to-average friends and plenty that range from average to heavy. Great people, all and I hang out with them all the time. I just haven’t ever dated any of them for one reason or another.
I’m smarter than many people I know and I sometimes lord it over them, esp. when playing trivia. On the flip side, I enjoy meeting people smart than I, and when I do, I treat them with respect and sometimes awe, esp. my friends that are molecular geneticists, twin brothers, one with a Masters and the other doing his Post-Doc at UCSF; also my father, with 3 engineering degrees (BSEE, BSME, MSystemsE) and 36-years in the field of low-observables/stealth. Nymysys knocked me back on my heels with her quiet, intense brilliance.
IMO, organized religion is a crutch. It’s also, IMO, one of the best scams/money-making businesses ever created.
Affirmative action is bullshit.
I’m Pro-Choice, which is in no means the same as being Pro-Abortion, you vapid fuck.
I sometimes think the US should close the borders for a bit and cut of all foreign aid money. Let those fucks deal with their own people instead of sponging off of us with one hand and giving us the finger with the other.
If you live in the US, speak English, American or Old-country, but speak the language or I will not talk to you.
It’s a waiters/ress’ job to bring me stuff and do so with punctuality and a smile. [Reservoir Dogs]The words “too fuckin’ busy” should not be in their vocabulary[/Reservoir Dogs]
I don’t think they execute enough of the people on Death Row. The cost of freedom is high. Allowing a murderer to have a state funded life, albeit in prison, irritates the shit out of me. Give them a chance to prove their innocence, then fry/inject/hang them. If the prosecutors turn out to have used devious/improper means to convict them, charge the prosecutors with the murder of the guy they put away.
I do a great impression of Apu.
“Get the hell out. Thank you and come again!”
The only post-WWII black (commonly-designated) “leader” for whom I have any respect is Malcolm X. The others have been either criminal charlatans and shakedown artists (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharptan), crypto-fascists (Farakkhan), or ineffectual and meaningless figureheads (MLK). I don’t think Martin Luther King was all that impressive, and I think a holiday is wasted on him.
OJ is a murderer, and anyone, black or white, who views his acquittal as a triumph is either evil or stupid.
I own a car and drive it daily.
I eat red meat. Often, this has been grilled on a fossil-fuel burning barbecue.
I like shoes. Shoes are mostly leather. I have probably got an entire herd’s worth of shoes.
I wear whatever the hell I want to wear.
I say “white man’s hours” when describing my work day.
I roll up the windows and lock the doors and drive real fast through Detroit.
I believe in Jesus Christ. Apparently that’s not PC.
I was told today by a friend that “I call a shovel a fucking spade and that’s that”.
I swear. See above.
I don’t object to fur - with limitations. In the North, people EAT what they kill, and then keep the pelt. I can’t imagine people eating nasty little mink or raccoons.
I have pretended to be french-speaking and spanish-speaking when clueless tourists have asked questions.
I am mean to stupid people. They don’t get it, though.
I work in the Insurance field and am not ashamed of myself. It’s the LAW to have it. Suck it up.
I’m mean to people who whine about their insurance costing too much. It’s not my fault you had a DUW, asshole. I don’t tell them I’m charging them an extra two or three hundred dollars BECAUSE I CAN. You bastards kill people.
I’m not touchy-feely. I don’t hug or air-kiss or generally get into close proximity with people that I’m not either related to, good friends with, or sleeping with. “Back the hell off” is usually the response they get. Sometimes more subtly.
I ramble on incessantly off topic.
Most of my non-pcness is that the femininists will never let me join their club because:
-
I shave my legs, and I don’t think it’s demeening. I don’t do it for guys, I do it because I perfer how it feels to be stubble free. The argument “if you never shave leg hair, it’s soft” doesn’t wash with me, since I’ve never shaved my arms, and I don’t think they feel much better. I don’t shave my arms too because I’m lazy.
-
I think abortion is wrong. Yes, in some cases (rape, incest, baby has no brain etc) I won’t necessarily think a woman is a horrible person for aborting the baby, but it’s still wrong- it’s just less wrong than the alternative. Using it as an after-thought birth control method is damnable in my book. And no, I don’t want to see unwanted babies neglected, I want you to keep your damn legs shut, and I want your horny boyfriend to invest in playboy and a lock for the bathroom door, until such time you are both responsible enough to use proper birth control. If you do, and it doesn’t work, you knew it wasn’t fool-proof, so you took your chances.
-
If I get married, I will change my last name in a heart-beat. I hate my last name, why not take the oportunity to “trade up”?
-
If I married a man who was well off enough so I could stay home and look after the house instead of working full time, I’d love it. What’s not to love about having the time to write seriously, take grad classes, and volunteer whenever I want(my god, can you imagine a republican wanting to work with the less fortunate? One who even gave a year of her life to serve with VISTA? shocking) to? I’m not super-thrilled that because of the women’s movement being a wife and mother isn’t considered enough of a livelyhood any more. You can balance a family and career for fun if you want to, but if I’m ever in a position I don’t have to, I don’t want to.
-
I don’t think women are superior to men. I’m an elitist, I reserve the right to look down on morons of both genders.
Many homeless people have jobs. Many have more than one. So they’re not bums
I would call that above opinion damn stupid as opposed to politically incorrect.
Does that make me politically incorrect?
There are a number of opinions on this thread I could have said that about, but I chose jack@ss. Let him cry discrimination if he wants to.
I’m not quite sure what to make of this, but, give them a chance to prove their innocence? Shouldn’t the onus be on the prosecutors to prove their guilt? or were you just speaking in shorthand?
If he’s on Death Row, presumably the prosecutor has already proven his guilt. Still, the legal standard, and I believe the correct one, is that he has to prove he didn’t get a fair trial, not that he has to prove his innocence.
Yes, Max, that was “shorthand.” Just me being P-IC.
I’d write more, but I don’t want to turn this into a death penalty thread. Suffice to say, I’ve strong feelings for swift and severe punishment of violent offenders and abusers.
Ginger, me too! And I’m from Michigan! 
/slight hijack/
If you’re driving through Detroit, are you close enough to come to the Dopefest?
/slight hijack/
Xploder, that blurb you wrote I saw “attributed” to good ol’ Uncle Ted (Nugent, for you non-Michiganders) on misc.rural. Boy, did the sparks fly on that one! Must say I agree with most of it.
How am I not PC? Let me count the ways:
[ul]
[li] To many women: Yeah, I’m skinny and buff. Deal. I also have a brain. I work hard to stay this way and instead of whining about how overweight I am and then sitting down to a 24-oz porterhouse and a night of Jerry Springer, I run, ride my bike and do yoga. Your weight is your problem, not mine. And my weight isn’t yours.[/li][li] To many men: Yeah, I’m skinny and buff. Deal. I also have a brain. I’m sorry you’re intimidated by my mind. I will not willingly be eye-candy for your deve fantasies and if you touch my body without my permission, I have no qualms in not only kicking you square in the nuts, I’ll also give you a sharp right to the soft cartilege on the bridge of your nose.[/li][li] To the fundies I was raised with: I’m a pro-choice Christian who believes evolution is true,that not all other religions are going to hell, and that gay marriages are fine. Deal.[/li][li] If a woman want to be in historically male-dominated fields, you better be able to do the push-ups and run the time. No excuses, no exceptions.[/li][li] I believe that standing and taking your hat off at the National Anthem is part of your duty as an American. And don’t even let me hear you dis the Pledge in my hearing. I’ve got a smack with your name on it.[/li][li] Guns, in the hands of those who know how to use them, are a good thing.[/li][li] You do not deserve special treatment because you’re different. Deal.[/li][/ul]

Affirmative Action is a crutch.
I’m pro-death penalty
And Pro-choice
I think pot and prostituition should be legalized, regulated and taxed.
Zero-tolerance is crap.
If you’re going to drink, drink. Real alcohol or nothing.
I have been known to kill my own food.
You can take my steak when all red meat bearing animals are extinct and not until then.
I think we should put more restrictions on immigration and illegal aliens should not be given all the benefits of our society. Learn the language. Apply for citizenship. Then we’ll talk.
If you’re going to live and work here, speak the dominate language. Classes in English as a Second Language can be found for free, for cryin’ out loud.
I don’t need to go to church to be a decent human being and not going to church does not make me evil incarnate.
I drive a big-ass gas guzzling car and I’m not going to stop.
My parents spanked me and my kids are not unfamiliar with them either, though not as familiar as I was.
I can cuss like a sailor and do. A lot.
Stupid lawsuits should be not only tossed out of court, but laughed out.
I think strict sexual monogamy is over-rated and if two adults have an agreement about and precautions are taken it’s no one else’s business. Flirting is not cheating. Neither is cyber-sex. Fantasies are healthy. Threesomes rock.
I’m letting my children make their own decisions about religion. My daughter’s pagan and I help her with it. My son goes to church and I read him bible stories.
I believe that students headed for college should have at least two years between high school and college when they have to support themselves in the real world with no help from Mommy and Daddy so they have a fucking clue what life is really like.
Our ancestors feed their families hunting with a bow or a musket. No one needs a semi automatic or automatic weapon to hunt unless someone’s arming deer now, so find another arguement to make your case for your right to own an automatic weapon.
I have no problems with medical testing on animals. Zero.
The US prison system should be overhauled to include hard labor and if a person’s crimes are so vile that putting them in the prison population would endanger their lives, GOOD! I say stick 'em in there. Save the taxpayer some money and while I’m ranting about this subject, I think the likes of McVeigh and Manson who are self confessed or clearly guilty should never be heard from once sentence is passed. They shouldn’t have any more rights than their victims. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness - gone. Freedom of speech - gone.
I take care of my family and my kids. I don’t have the time or energy or money to get all up in arms about possible slave labor in Third World countries used to make shoes that I don’t even buy.
And guess what? Despite all this, I am still a productive member of my community.
Antismoking militantism has gotten way out of hand. The recent lawsuits were simply ridiculous…c’mon, you can’t tell me that millions of smokers didn’t know what they were getting into. HOWEVER!! This does not change the fact that smoking is a repulsive habit, which, if unchecked, does endanger the health of nonsmokers. Besides that, cigarette smoke smells awful, and that alone is justification enough to ban it from most public places. (Not bars, nightclubs, etc. though; that’s going too far.) Furthermore, it’s really dumb…aren’t there ways of getting a buzz or calming down which don’t have inherent death risks?
I eat from all four food groups. I see no real reason not to. I don’t have any particular preference or system, either…none of that four-four-three-two nonsense (like my life ever has any kind of regularity), as long as it’s at least reasonably wholesome and reasonably balanced, fine by me. And ALL the goddam Chicken Little health studies can burn.
I’m all in favor of animal experimentation. Provided that humanity is actually getting something out of it. In other words, if you’re going to torture all those monkeys, you’d damn well better be working toward that cure.
Reducing standards for women in the army is outrageous. This isn’t a church softball league. These people will be called upon to defend our national interests, and they’d damn well better measure up. Anyone who doesn’t, male or female, can seek one of many noncombat positions in the armed forces.
I don’t mind professional athletes in the Olympics, and I’m tired of the elitist, hypocritical “ideal” of amateurism, which anyone with half a brain knows was just a means of keeping the event in the hands of the wealthy. However, unless some IDIOTS wake up and stop allowing one horrible miscarriage of justice after another to pollute the event (e.g. results from an improperly-adjusted pommel horse to stand, fraudulent basketball/wrestling scores standing, about 80% of the boxing decisions), the Olympiad will never be anything but a joke on par with pro wrestling.
The first generation (i.e. the one that immigrated to this country), and ONLY the first, are correctly “hyphenated” Americans. My parents are Chinese-Americans. I was born in Hawaii, so I am not. And neither is my sister or any of my cousins.
If you’re obese, deformed, misshapen etc., the best thing to do is not make a big deal about it and only mention it if you’re asked. Likewise, don’t bring up your sexual preference unless you’re talking to someone who cares. Trust me, people will like you a lot more for it.
It’s important to use accurate terms. For example, “crippled” is totally inappropriate for someone who is handicapped. So is “differently abled”. Especially important with medical conditions; e.g. not everyone with HIV has AIDS; AIDS is only the final stage of the disease. Also, I like to avoid long-winded or needlessly complex constructions, such as “nonhuman animal companion” or “people of color”.
