Nowadays we have to be politically correct not to say anything that offend anyone or step on anyone's toes. But is that really a helpfull thing? Are we all walking on egg shells so we don't hurt anyone's feelings?
What is the dumbest politically correct thing out there that should be taken head on?

I don't know what to reply here,lol. There are soooooo many things that it boggles the mind. I would say the dumbest Politically correct thing is having to be Politically correct at all. Where did the freedom of speech go and the right to pursue happiness go? Where's our Freedom gone? Being Politically correct is someone trying to jam their thoughts and beliefs down our throats for their happiness...what about mine? I myself am polite and respectful of others but I will say what and how I feel when I want too.

It is pretty funny how you mention pursuit of happiness. Who's happiness? I was blogging with someone from California and he had mentioned that his area is overwhelmed with illegals which is affecting the crime rate to an unbelievale rate. But we can't call them 'illegal' that would hurt their feelings we must call them 'guest workers'. Hmmm. Don't guests leave when they are not wanted?
I was taught my freedoms end where yours begins. Whatever happened to old school ideals like that?
