There is an old nursery rhyme that I was taught as a child. It goes like this....

Sticks and Stones
can break my bones
but words can never hurt me

Ever heard it?
What does it mean?
Don't you think there is a bit of wisdom in it?

Yes there is wisdom in it but thats not what these people are about. Political correctness has gone too far to the point people are afraid to speak their minds in case anyone gets offended. I say screw it, as a white male it's frequently expected that i will be racist when in actuality i've seen more racism occuring from non white people. Go figure.
