One man's suggestion gets taken too far and now eveyone's up in arms. Stoopid heads.

I hate people who are PC about PC jargon. I wish they PC off.

to quote chief wiggum :

it's time for an old fashioned hippy ass whomping

Hippy PC Philistine: "Don't call it secondary.... maaaaaan! That's like.... totally classing a piece of hardware as a second class citizen duuuuuuuuude. Don't discriminate against hardware maaaaan! Can't it all just work on the same level?"

Tech Bloke: "No."

Hippy PC Philistine:"This is what I'm talking about..... maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. You're like totally abusing my civil rights by not bending over and taking it from my hypocritical ass-face... maaaaaaaan"

sad, sad little bstrd

Well I can see why some people might be irrationally tetchy about the terminology if they live in the south of the USA,
but when faced with the choice between jumping through arbitary hoops to please everyone who doesn't like a particular word, or spending your time doing stuff which is actually productive...

Still, since everyone in the world seems to be corrupted by mongishness, unnecessary political correctness will probably continue get in everyone's way, while making 3 people, at most, feel marginally better about themselves.

Only in this case, the guy was only suggesting it, and didn't really care anyway. So it looks like political correctness which doesn't even reach out to those 3 people.

And if I'm wrong then I'd better see the LA mong contingency out picketting S&M clubs soon :^p
