Political Correctness (Aargh!) To The Extreme?

[Redtbird]

I read this article, and just sat here shaking my head, wondering how we have gotten to this point.

'Brown bag,' 'citizens' offensive? Seattle ponders

 

[RugerRog]

Nothing like this ceases to amaze me anymore. I think people are getting to thin skinned, if they are getting upset by brown bag and citizens. I wonder if they would be upset by Thin skinned.

C'mon [STRIKE]guys[/STRIKE] people we can't use the word “citizens." We might offend [STRIKE]illegal immigrants[/STRIKE] undocumented workers.

Why is brown bag offensive? I used to carry my lunch in a brown bag, are they saying its a Black thing to have that experience or is there more to it?

Please don't use the word "workers"! It discriminates against those who choose to be 'unjobbed'.

And using the word "word" discriminates against those who choose to communicate by other means, or not reduce their thoughts to conventions like "words".

You need to be careful using People especially if you say You people. And all the undocumented illegals are mad because they are citizen wannabe's and arent until they get their free pass and collect $200, welfare, food stamps, social security, free Obamacare and on and on.....

Where is that BS bag image.............. seems more appropriate.

If nothing else, this is proof of the fact that there is no bottom limit on stupidity.

Unfortunate we couldn't have a selective Pandemic to clear out the gene pool.

My guess is that we will. SHTF will sort it out in a big hurry. I don't see any way to avoid it at this point given that we have passed the point at which the people on the dole outnumber those who are working in addition to the government being bankrupt even if the fact is not openly acknowledged.

"SACK" lunch is also offensive. It is discriminatory towards any gender not possessing the aforementioned "sack".

This. I am incapable of having a sack lunch. I think we should just call it a domestically assembled repast.

Purple and stuff....

"Brown bag" & "citizen" mentioned to often--- IBTL.

Don't assume that the genes you think should prevail will prevail. In the short run at least.

Yeah, stupidity seems to be a hardy genetic trait.

Just read the article.....are you me......really.

I think the liberal college profs, for instance, all assume that having a Ph.D. is somehow going to guarantee them a seat at the post-SHTF table. I am guessing most of them won't last the first 8 hours, with their Obama "rob me" bumper stickers.

It's not like there's any historical reference of "intellectuals" being the first ones shot we could go by, is there?

It also puts a really bad image in ones head too.

Intellectualism and intelligence are two very different things, as we can see from the topic of this thread. True intellectuals generally have the smarts of domesticated turkeys, and would drown in a rainstorm, looking up. JMHO.
