I have always hated "politcally correct" speak. I think it is just plain retarded (not mentally challenged). But, last night was the kicker. My wife was asked to help serve food for people helping clean up the small town that got hit hard by recent storms. Among the "workers" were members of our correctional department, and I don't mean employees. One of the kids asked "have the prisoners been here yet?" The person in charge of the red cross told her "we do not call them prisoners, they are guest of the state of IL."

That is complete and total bull shit. So what, are child molesters "people who happen to play too rough with kids"?? They are not guests, they are convicted criminals. Are murders "morally challenged"?? Come on...

If you are under 5'2", you are short, not vertically challenged.

It is possible to be stupid, not mentally challenged.

If you are overweight, you can be fat, not horizontally challenged.

Not all black people are african americans. Just as not all asians are asian americans. Some are, GASP, just americans!!

When did a janitor become a sanitation engineer?? 4 year degree for that now?

People who hurt children are not morally challenged, they are people who need to be castrated.

I would like to call for an end to this crap. Let's call a spade a spade.

Is it just me, or does this annoy anybody else. Go ahead and list the ones the piss you off the most. Plus list a few that make actaul sense.

Like...

Paper Bag - processed tree carcass
Dead - Living impaired
Ignorant - Knowledge-base non-possessor

perhaps this should have went to the pet peeves?

good points

damn right bull...damn right!

Amen, brother! Next thing you know, albinos are going to end up being called 'pigmentation challenged' or some such BS. This PC crap has gone WAY too far!

yah, and we wil have to refer to Bobert Penguin as, the Undisputed Holy King of Spartans

I agree 100% bull. "Guests of the state of Illionois?" They are scumbags who broke the law, they are prisoners at best! I'm sure that Red Cross woman wouldn't have cared for my "Shitty guests, then" retort.

I have been fighting political correctness for quite awhile now and I'm glad to see others join my cause!!

I tend to call Politically Correct people: character-integrity challenged (because they lack the intestinal fortitude to say what's on their mind, and the integrity to stick by their comments).

...well - that, or just plain ol fekken nobbers.

I assume when you called a spade a spade you were refering to a low powered long handled excavating tool operated by monetarily challenged construction persons

Yeah - just like when we use the term 'Hoe.'
