Talking About Political Correctness... What's The "Right" Thing To Say?

Darkwing @Darkwing (21583) 10 Jun 08

It must be the Sun... I'm in a silly mood today. I wrote a discussion on the old counting song, Eeny Meeny, Minie, Moe, about the political correctness of the words, and I got to thinking about all manner of nursery rhymes and...

Re-Writing Classics?-Huckleberry Finn

ErrollLeVant @ErrollLeVant (4353) • United States 6 Jan 11

A new version of Mark Twain's classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is being published that has changed the original words--"N-Word" and "Injun"--to less racially offensive words. How do you react to that development?

Paul Kuehn This is awful but not unexpected in the era of political correctness which is dominating now. Times were different when Twain wrote and then the "N-word" and "Injun" were completely accepted.

The Ten Commandments - Seventh Commandment

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (317089) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 4 Mar 16

Is Donald Trump a fan of Il Duce, or just his rhetoric?

DW Davis @DWDavis (25805) • United States 2 Mar 16

The Donald won 7 states on Super Tuesday, 4 less than he hoped for. Of course, he thought he'd win all 11 states holding Republican primaries or caucuses though that wasn't really probable. Ted Cruz won 3 states and Marco Rubio...

Paul Kuehn @DWDavis It's obvious that fascism and anything fascist is really politically incorrect today. I remember that in the 50s-80s the United States supported fascist governments all over the world to counter Communism. Just look at our support for Chiang...

Learn English: The Fun And Easiest Way

Shavkat @Shavkat (139940) • Philippines 11 Feb 16

Paul Kuehn @Shavkat , If you want to learn English well, it is important to converse with native speakers of English. There is just so much you can pick up passively by listening to music or reading books.

No Debate for Trump

Steve West @zebra2222 (5268) • United States 27 Jan 16

Students Of Today

Susan @HazySue (39268) • Gouverneur, New York 23 Jan 16

Paul Kuehn I think the students bad classroom behavior stems from a lack of moral values learned first in the home and then reinforced in schools. Can't the worst offenders be punished in any way? Also, aren't there any kind of alternative schools?
