Guest MrRant Report post Posted June 29, 2002 This is what politcal correctness is doing to us. Political Correctness Rings Hunchback Death Knell You are going to take a classic book and change the title of it because some ignorant motherfuckers don't understand it was written in like 1831 before scoliosis was ever discovered? Some people need to get the fuck off their high horse and should look at themselves in the mirror and see that THEY are the ignorant fucks of this world.

Guest Bosstones Fan Report post Posted June 29, 2002 Oh. My. God. This is unbelieveable. Where in the hell is all this PC bullshit going to stop? When we abolish all language and speech so that there's no way anyone might hear (or see) a word that offends them in some way? Give me a break. I'd like to send a hearty "FUCK YOU" to all the little PC mongoloids reading here (or anywhere else). If you're going to be so damn sensitive about things like this, then I invite you to fly to the moon or somewhere with all your little pc friends and set up your own little pc utopia away from the rest of us. That will allow the rest of us to return to a normal society; one where people have the emotional strength to get through day-to-day life without encountering such traumatic uses of the word "hunchback." I guess "midget" will be the next thing to go. Oh, wait, it already did.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RetroRob215 Report post Posted June 30, 2002 Un F'n Believable. I hate PC mongers. I wouldn't be sorry in the least if all of them were dragged into the middle of the street and mass murdered. THEN maybe the world would be a happy place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GenerationNever Report post Posted June 30, 2002 Hm. I'm really glad the Pledge will be changed. In fact, I think I'm going to laugh about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Report post Posted June 30, 2002 I think the next step in the removal of church and state is to arrest anyone who says "God bless you" to someone that sneezed on public ground. That person will probably be charged with a hate crime or something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted July 1, 2002 See, stuff like this gives people like me (a self-proclaimed liberal) a bad name. Go read my "In Defense of Liberals and Moderates" thread to see what a real liberal thinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cancer Marney Report post Posted July 1, 2002 No, stuff like this gives religious people a bad name. If it was intended to be serious, the implication that a private expression of religious faith could be construed as a governmental endorsement of religion is both ridiculous and insulting. I took it as facetious, so I find it neither. If I was wrong, I think I'd prefer not to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hogan Made Wrestling Report post Posted July 1, 2002 This is about as lame as that online petition website where people want them to change the name of LOTR: The Two Towers because they think it's a reference to the WTC, not knowing that those books ("Books?" they say. "I thought it was a movie.") were written a half-century ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest chirs3 Report post Posted July 2, 2002 Oh yea, there was a bit of a scuffle over that. What did they want to rename it to? Wasn't it just "The Tower" or "The Towers"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ram Report post Posted July 3, 2002 'The Mike Newdow dictionary would replace "he" and "she" with "re," "his" and "hers" with "rees" and "him" and "her" with "erm."' The fact that the guy is legitimately serious about this is scary in itself. Erg.[ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted July 3, 2002 "The fact that the guy is legitimately serious about this is scary in itself." Indeed. And here I thought personal pronouns only disappeared in stupid Ayn Rand books. There's nothing "wrong" with any of the words he wants to replace, since classifying people by gender is often very useful. The words he wants used are dreadful and inelegant, though. I just might have to move to Canada if American English gets polluted with bullshit like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
