A couple of teenagers bring guns into school and kill their schoolmates and teachers:
-We blame violent cartoons and video games.
* An old lady kills her cat while trying to dry it in the microwave.
-The microwave manufacturer has to pay for the damage...
*A burglar gets hurt while trying to rob a house and files a complaint against the house owner:
-He wins.
*TV shows beep words like "penis", "a$S"(A$S is not even allowed in yahoo answers- they transform it into ***)
-Oh please think of the children!!
* A few bombs are sent by mistake to wrong civilian targets killings dozens of innocent people in Iraq:
-We call it "Collateral damage"
* Missiles shoot a to UK helicopter by mistake, killing all its occupants.
- We call it "Friendly fire".
*Did you see the burglar?
- Yes, he was white and had a blue jacket. (Good)
- Yes, he was black and had a blue jacket (bad)
In your opinion, are we getting over the top on Political Correctness

Half of everything you described is a perpetuation by the legal system - which needs an enema, or maybe just those licensed to practice law. Which is incidentally, not about justice any more - a form of righteousness (right behavior- ethical behavior and thinking) it's about circumventing itself - winning regardless of "right" in an ethical sense.
The forefathers are puking in their graves - along with the ancients - who probably revere such progress with utter disbelief and contempt.
Not to mention a generation of people increasingly becoming devoid of conscience. When ethics are replaced by the closest behavior that matches the selfish desires of individuals (partisanship).
Special interest = virulent disease or plague
Oh yeah and when it becomes too obvious, and the masses begin to complain - let's create a social system/policy of complacency, call it "political correctness" after all who wants to constantly be reminded of ones faults.
The list of disgust goes on and on -- It won't stop short of a nuclear explosion, sadly.
Whew that felt good................... lol

Politically correct by it's very nature is incorrect. there are so many people who push with one hand for the world to be PC and with the other scream discrimination? I answer your question with a question. What is the difference in PC and discrimination? If you point out the differences in what is right or wrong and say fix this but not that is that not a form of discriminating? If all is to be equal and good then right is right and wrong is wrong, one is not greater or lesser than the other? If PC is getting out of hand how do you prepose we stop the downward spiral? Is this question about PC or discrmination the line is kind of blurred? If this country was a little more concerned with the moral fiber of the State, would we have a lawyer willing to push the cases they know are wrong just to make a buck? I understand the law says they are doe their lawyer or the state will provide, but why do we have people willing to take those cases? Let's try this, "you got yourself into this mess, get yourself out!"

Damn good question! Man I am so sick and &&&&ing tired of the rabid stupidity and touchy feely crap over stuff like the burglar. Hell here a few years ago, three gang bangers froke into this old mans house. He was 83 at the time and had just recently lost his wife. These kids came in at night trying to rob and beat him. He shot all three of them and he was arrested for it. The kids said that they thought the house was abandoned and they didnt go to jail WTF!!!!! I would have pinned a medal on him and incarcerated the gang bangers for as long as the lw would have allowed!!! And as for the rest of the things listed here, I could not agree with anyone any stronger. thumbs up man, you got it correct.

My favorite quote "F*ck off you politically correct *******!!!!"
That was me by the way. Pollitical correctness has gotten insane. Whatever happened to freedom of speach and the right to offend anyone I want?
The other day I was changing a tire on a residential street, after dodging a dog that came runing out into the street, and I ripped skin off of all but one knuckle and of course a typical quote comes flying out of my mouth "Son of a b**ch" Well this lady out walking her dog looks at me and says, "Excuse me but I don't appreciate that kind of language!" My reply
"Oh, I am so sorry. I guess instead of swearing I should just sue the owner of the dog for the pain and suffering caused to me by having to dodge his dog that ran out into the street without a leash causing me to get a flat tire that I have now injured myself on."
She actually told me that would be appropriate!!!!!! At that point I just told her to F*** off and just as I finish changing the tire.....a cop pulls up and talks to me about a complaint filed against me.

I believe so. I think no one ever wants to take the blame for anything so they rather blame it on everyone else. Sad, but that's the world we are living in! I know for a fact that if my son does anything CRAZY (God forbid) it will definitely be my fault because I'm his parent! No, instead there are parents who like to point at the TV, violent games...buy who is buying them these games?? and allowing them to play them?
