Political correctness annoys me! You can say one thing and it my inncorrect but then you can say the opposite and it will still be inncorrect. *snort* People confuse my head.

Did you know "the Hunchback of Notre Dame" is offensive to people so they are changing it to "The Bell Ringer Of Notre Dame"?

Graymouser - perfect example of political correctness out of control. That article is the most ridiculous thing in the world. A person being offended because COMPUTER equipment is labeled master/slave. The reason it is labeled master/slave is because the one device is relient on the other one working. It's not really a "primary/secondary" situation.
I find the world is just getting more and more screwed up by this kind of crap. How was the person affected by this? Get a grip and be a frigging ass adult already. That's what the company should have said. Going along with your cvomment Graymouser - next they'll want to be changing the name for female and male connectors. I'll add another thing - Only in Los Angeles.

lol. it would be a really entertaining subject to discuss.
you know, all these peace loving and open minded hippies have one thing in common: they're not peace loving hippies. if you swat a fly; they'll get reall offended, and might even star yelling at you. if you start twidling sticks; they'll really really get mad.... I guess this connects with Political Correctness somehow....

With the exception of (maybe) a few Inuit or aborigines, I doubt that there's a person on the planet who doesn't have both slaves and masters among their ancestors.

George Carlin said something like" I guess we have to call David Letterman, David Letterperson."
Why is that Black people can get away with this utter bullshit. A white person can't say anything for fear of some extreme left wing "socially conscious" white person or some thin skin black person ( yes I said black and not afro american) taking offense. I movie you can not even have an ethnic criminal without some kind a group taking action. Soon we will have group of people who will say the Lord of the Rings mispresent the follows of darkness. An anti-orc defamation league. As they used to say in the 70's "Negro Please"

A-E - I was telling Jonathan the other day how we have "Black History Month". How I consider it rather condescending. It's as if black people haven't contributed enough to the general good of America to just be celebrated as being honored Americans- they need their own month to be honored based solely on their ethnicity.
I'm white - you're black. There isn't anything racist about that. As Whoopie Goldberg said the one time - "I've been to Africa and I'm NOT African-American, I'm American". If people would stop trying to find offence in everything - they may find that most people are NOT offensive nor racist. If a person searches for it around every corner - they are bound to perceive it where none actually exists.

definately not PC
here's something from ages ago that goes with your mental image: Even though afro here means one of African descent as opposed to hair style But that is a hilarious image an elf with a big 1970’s super bush I can see legolas with a mega-fro, bell bottoms and platform shoes Running gently across the snow at Cadehoros (SP?) What follows may be offensive to those who are, post-modernist, deconstructionist, super liberal, politically correct types or basically anyone who suffered from the post 60’s educational system and doesn’t know it The history of the first age by afro-elf See we was chillin’ in da mudda land when this giant valar ( Englishman/American imperialist) comes and says “we are gonna take you to the promised land” But this evil valar melkor was the leader of a group of people called nazis and they had had captured many of our youths and made them orcs. Now orcs were like our own people but they were corrupted and called themselves niggas instead of the avari word Negro. Basically they were loud and rude and gave all the rest of us a really bad name Anyway because of melkor the german nazi valar, we did trust this orome dude And we send 3 of our homeys to check it out. They came back and said cool. Except for elwe who was now called thingol. Thingol did trust the valar who he called “whitey” but he did manage to throw down some afro-elf love on one of their woman: melian who he brought back to the motherland. She was down with us and thingol and her made the funkiest land in middle earth. Doraith. We just chilled. Playing smooth jazz, cards and basket ball. our orc cousins though busied themselves with gangster rap and drive bys and learning black speech (aka) ebonics now the sell out noldar come back messin’ up our stuff. They’ve been corrupted by whitey and are full greed and venegence over some jewelry thingol said let whitey’s lackey’s make their own war an the nazis but whitey’s disease affected us all. Thingol had a fine mulatto daughter who wanted to marry an edain (aka latino, short lived but fast breeding) we were like at least he aint no sell noldar. Besides he’ll be dead in a few years and we’ll live forever but NO, he had to go ask for a silmaril. So what happens? He gets killed by dwarves( the forefathers of jews and arabs, they WERE one group at one time) they have long beards will go to war over slights, sequester their women so none can see them and like gold and have a rep for being greedy and stubborn) then the valar and all their sell out lackey’s wage war in the motherland and mess it up so bad that they destroy it. (talk about exploiting a people) so after the first age we kinda all went back east to closer to the original home to get back to our roots with our moriquendi( dark-elf) leaders to lorien and greenwood the great. Hey even galadriel fell for some of the afro-elf love. Celeborn is moriquendi and when they say dark speakers dey jus be jealous of dee afro elf love talk we be don put on some of dere finest women Speaking of my homey why is everyone down on my man celeborn He got the finest white woman on the planet, she was tutored my melian i guess she learned well, then some runt dwarf comes to his kingdom and makes a pass at his wife and you expect him to chill? Come on the dwarves killed his uncle and sacked his home Then greedy bastards awaken a balrog that leads to the death of amroth another Kinsman and great lord peace out
