Greymule opined:

"College students are brought up on disciplinary charges for voicing politically incorrect opinions in class."

Good.

"Company employees are sent to sensitivity classes for telling an ethnic joke."

Appropriate.

"American flags have been banned from people's desks—in America—because "somebody might be offended."

Citation, please.

"A Catholic hospital was asked to remove the large cross on the side of its building because Muslims might not like having to see it."

Citation, please.

"You're right, Downtown. People should lighten up."

Yeah! What happened to the good ol' days when we could put on black face and make fun everyone who was different from us?


"NEWS FLASH: Now I see that two people are suing an airline because the flight attendant said, "Eenie, Meenie, Mynie, Moe, pick a seat, we gotta go"! You see, that saying derives from a racist rhyme that was made up in the 19th century, so the people suffered humiliation and trauma and psychological distress—at least several million dollars' worth."

Citation, please.


It's easy to mix urban myths with appeals for the days of yore. Easy, but insulting to most everyone with an IQ beyond their waist size.
