in a satirical example of so-called P.C. speech, the sentence “The fireman put a ladder up against the tree, climbed it, and rescued the cat” might look like this: The firefighter (who happened to be male, but could just as easily have been female) abridged the rights of the cat to determine for itself where it wanted to walk, climb, or rest, and inflicted his own value judgments in determining that it needed to be “rescued” from its chosen perch. In callous disregard for the well-being of the environment, and this one tree in particular, he thrust the mobility disadvantaged-unfriendly means of ascent known as a “ladder” carelessly up against the tree, marring its bark, and unfeelingly climbed it, unconcerned how his display of physical prowess might injure the self-esteem of those differently-abled. He kidnapped and unjustly restrained the innocent animal with the intention of returning it to the person who claimed to “own” the naturally free animal.

I doubt it will come to that, but it does get ridiculous.

Sometimes it does, sometimes its ok... as ever theres at least some truth on both sides of the PC debate.

At my kids' school they no longer called the kids "handicapped" but used the term "resource". Now the kids are making fun of each other and using the term "resource" in a derogatory way.

quite, it achieves nothing anyway. They _are_ handicapped, get over it.

People need to just cope with the truth and lose their presumption of hatred. Just deal with REAL hatred.

I think its an age thing. When I was 18 I whined about the people who didnt approve of me, most of us did. Now I could care less about them. The ability to take in bigger things has occurred I guess, plus the ability to approve of self.
