The world has gone mad...

Hey everyone, my mom wasn't a housewife -- she was a domestic engineer. She didn't set the table with the good china when we had company over, it was porcelain dishes. My little cockapoo, Oliver, wasn't a mutt -- he was a cocker spaniel hybrid. My boyfriend wasn't a nerd in high school -- he was socially challenged. The letter carrier (formerly my postman) brought a cheque to little old poor, whoops, financially challenged, me today. I discovered, today, that Santa's universally recognized portly image needs an overhaul because he projects a bad image to today's youth. He also isn't supposed to say Ho Ho Ho anymore, because that's negative for us women. See, I'm trying to be more politically correct, because apparently someone, somewhere, at some point in time took the minutest bit of offense to a word, phrase or term and they've now re-coined it so it's nice and PC, and it really goes without saying, utterly non-offensive. The world is crazy. But I can't beat them (all), so I may as well join them, huh?

I agree that PC has gotten way out of control. I think ppl do it just so they can have something to gripe about. "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS" **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I guess those who are offended should consider their thoughts, Santa Claus has been him eversince Christmas. the Ho's are just simple street terms, they shouldn't be considered as an offensive word for common people. If everyone wants the world to correct every little detail, then the "world of MEN" should be referred to as the "World of MEN.. and Women" just to be politically correct.
