Challenging the Politically Correct

Tweet

I’m not too sure if “challenging” is in accord with the PC movement because the word is key when one is supposed to describe certain situations. A corpse is now a metabolically challenged individual and one whose mental acuity is in doubt is mentally challenged. A drunk has an alcohol challenge and constipation is now to be described as annuly challenged. Beyond that, in the U.S., our beloved Congress is set on changing our pronoun structure to exclude the use of gender specific terms like mom, dad, father, mother, Mr and Mrs. A lot of changes for an old dog I say. Is it time to say enough is enough? I mean, I have already had to learn how to text and write stupid stuff like LOL when I’m really not and BBL, BBS, CTN and FWIW among other junk. So, why should I have to learn a whole brand new language just to please about 1% of the population? If someone is stupid they are stupid and not socially and mentally inadequate. If something is illegal it’s illegal and not a personal disagreement with the law or an undocumented foreign visitor. There’s a whole lot more I could rant on about but everyone knows what I mean and I think it’s time to go back to a day when we called it as we saw it. To heck with all the political idiotic changes regarding race, gender, social, physical and mental descriptive inadequacies a human can have and be. I’m me. I’m a Mr. I’ m NOT a socially disgruntled individual with a penchant for the past. I just hate PC. Simple.
