Political Correctness

Put up your hand if you are sick of having to be politically correct. I know I am. Don’t get me wrong - I am not advocating that we should all go around saying anything we please without any regard for the feelings of others. People who hide behind grand statements such as “I always speak my mind” annoy me as much as having to be politically correct. What I am annoyed about is the way that informed and intelligent debate tends to be quashed on some subjects due to political correctness gone mad.

A case in point is the issue of global warming and climate change. I recently listened to a rather zealous young person give a presentation on this issue. She spoke intelligently and demonstrated an admirable degree of passion for her topic. She also had a wealth of information at her fingertips and she used this information to make a compelling case. What was also quite apparent to me was that she worships at the alter that is Al Gore’s ego. “An Inconvenient Truth” is in her mind a depiction of the second coming rather than an entertaining examination of a serious issue.

And so to my point about political correctness gone mad. It seems that if one tries to debate an issue such as climate change and question some of the “facts” used to demonstrate how quickly we are hurtling towards certain devastation, one is labeled an eco-terrorist. It seems that some people are so determined to show their support for the current hot topic that they are not prepared to discuss both sides of the issue.

Amen and right on the money here Coach.  This is a perfect example too.  Al Gore is full of s***.  For him and his old lady it’s all about the bling-bling and nothing else.  He is about as dumb as a box of rocks, but he does have a way to get all the young folks on board with his book.  Heck, I remember 20 or so years ago that we were going to have another ice age.  I can’t remember who reaped the cash on that one.  Have a great weekend Coach.  smile

“a rather zealous young person” - Reminds me of myself around 25 years ago. ‘People for Nuclear Disarmament’ was my “current hot topic”. I could just about recycle that! Young people, they know everything.

Hello and best regards. I was under 17 when I started working, and I had to ask parents for money when I wanted to buy a computer or car. But when I turned 18 there was still no chance of getting vast credit limit, and I had to apply for a secured credit card first. I used the information and application forms at
