"Are we becoming too politically correct"

I don't think I am, but possibly . . . .

I tend to like, dislike or ignore people based on the way they are. I don't really care about their religion, colour, beliefs, politics, etc. When people make a point of telling me about their beliefs I will listen. When they tell me about my beliefs I will tell them to get lost--or something a bit more straight forward.

Some accommodations the general society makes on behalf of others I agree with. A good person will be so regardless of other 'things' about him or her.

Some folks many years back thought it was 'too PC' to have wheelchair access to public buildings, etc. I thought it was about time.

My remark about 'raising a nation of sissies' is more a reference to the mollycoddling society does for everyone who's got a complaint about damned near everything.

Years ago one of my kids came home from school. She'd been being pushed (bullied) by two other students. Phoned the teacher, principal and nothing changed. Phoned the parents and was told, "Kids will be kids." Then I toook my child (six or seven at the time) to three years of Wing Chun. Taught her to do round kicks, rapid punches to the body and use of her elbows in close contact fighting. She did a controlled demonstration for the two kids who were doing the bullying. They left her alone after that.

Truthfully, sometimes you just have to deal with it yourself. I have ceased to believe in a 'fair' or 'just' society. So it's fundamental with me. Don't fu#k with me and I won't fu#k with you. Start with me and it won't be over until I say so. I don't believe in that 'cry uncle' shit.

Try the 'right' way first. If that doesn't work, take care of it yourself.
