IMHO, this Politically Correct stuff has gone on long enough. It's gotten to the point where people get offended if you look at them. Don't get me wrong. I don't run around trying to offend anyone, and I generally try to do my best not to offend people, but this is ridiculous. I miss the days when I could say "Any guy who thinks he's special is conceited." Now I have to say "Any persun or persuns who thinks he or she, not to exclude those who are gender neutral or those who may or may not be hermaphroditic, is special darn well should, because everyone is special in their own way, not that that's a bad thing."

You can't even be polite anymore without making someone mad. I was always raised (by southern parents, no less) to hold the door for a lady. That's just what's DONE. Did it the other day and got chewed out by the jerk I held the door for. . . something along the lines of me being a male chauvenist pig who doesn't think women are strong enough to open doors for themselves. That made me really angry, because I never knew it was offensive to be polite to people, ya know?

My point in all this is, no matter what someone does these days is going to offend someone because people have gotten so far into this PC "don't offend ANYONE" garbage that they get offended at the drop of a hat.
