Check Your Sense of Humor at the Door! (A Rant)

Tweet

Political Correctness goes both ways and PC has gone too far. When we are all unable to laugh at ourselvesbecause it may offend someone else, PC has won. If we can't laugh at ourselves then we are just as bad as those we point the "thin skinned" finger at. I realize that one can't please everyone all the time, and I guess that's why PC is gaining such a foothold. So, what? We all walk around trying not to offend each other? Agreeing with everyone else, and forgetting that we have minds of our own, our own sense of humor, and our own way of seeing things? Somewhere there's a very fine line. Will we have to check with a "government entity" before we step out of our homes? Will my orange shirt become offensive to someone who hates the color orange? Will my hair color become offensive to someone else? Ever see the movie Equilibrium? Society is regulated to the point where it's hard to tell a male from a female. Clothes, style, even emotion are all regulated. Music, books and art are banned. People are no longer individuals, they all look and act alike and take injections to keep them all on the same emotional level. Their desks are all arranged alike their homes are without color or anything that might stimulate emotion. They are robots.........not people. Scarier yet, there is a police entity that enforces all of this! Is this where are we headed people? Is this what we really want to become? Stop being so thin skinned, otherwise there's very little hope for any of us! Comment if you like. There is no question to answer. Just blowing off some steam.
