Political Correctness

This is great!  Go here and click the link on the right for the Hate Issue (Vol 24, issues 9 and 10 if it slips into the archives).

...perfectly capable, intelligent people are succumbing to pampering and enabling features of society that allow them to drift through life ill prepared for any hardship that may befall them. Finally, when something terrible does happen, they are clueless as to how to approach it. Had they been allowed to make mistakes, perhaps they would have learned something along the way.

Going through hardships makes you more capable of getting through the next problem life throws at you.  If you are protected to the point of never having to deal with hardships, you better hope that protection holds up.

...they have the crosswalk, the walk signals, a voice counting down how long they have to cross, and if that’s not bad enough, a sign reading, “Please wait for walk signal” on both sides of the street. I hate to break it to you, folks, but life is way harder than crossing the street. If you need an additional sign and countdown, you should not procreate. On a side note, it is odd how the city government has money to protect morons with unnecessary signs that warn them to follow the already existing signs, but driving down Alder is like driving on a cobblestone street in Guatemala.

I wonder if the countdown voice speaks in other languages besides English.

I wish I had read this this morning. I would have fired up the barbecue for dinner.

Is a teddy bear wearing a straight jacket really insensitive to the mentally ill? I don't get it. Some people are just looking for things to send them off the deep end.
