Ok so it's late and I should be in bed, but I've been doing some reading.....and I got to wondering about people throwing around the term "politically correct"
I don't remember hearing the words "politically correct" growing up....so why is it such a big deal now?
People used to, for the most part, just be nice to others, now they can be mean so long as they do it in a "politically correct" way??
I don't get it.....

Ahhhhh, so the same people that set gas prices?

supreme ruler means that I don't have to pay for gas and/or taxes. I rarely bother with the lesser people's problems.
But you could always try Willie Nelsons Greasy Gas Alternative. It is very PC

it's not about being nice, it's about taking a stand against allowing a word to oppress and ostracize others. political correctness is an evolution of the civil/women's rights movements.
