Reply #32: Walking around on eggshells? [View All]

So you feel uncomfortable having to be polite to people? That, again, strikes me as wrong.

Interestingly, you seem to want others to be more PC. Your distaste for Gene Simmons, for instance, is based on his lack of it. And Randy Newman's song "Short People" was an attempt to create a more PC attitude by satirically mocking those who aren't, towards any person who is different (not just short people, obviously).

The part you need to rethink is in your definition of PC. You've allowed the right to define it for you. Your point about egg shells is a typical right wing talking point, which they use any time they are justifying sexual harassment in the work place, the use of the N word in casual conversation, etc. Any time you find yourself siding with the right, you should re-evaluate your opinion.

And I didn't mean to say that entertainers were better than politicians. I just meant that Gene Simmons is better than Cheney because Cheney tries to force his non-PC bigotry on the world by becoming a powerful person, where Simmons as an entertainer only tries to influence people, not pass legislation forcing them to follow his horrible beliefs. This was only about them, not about all politicians and/or entertainers.
