Political Correctness comes to the Tech Arena

[KrasH]

Political Correctness trully is incorrect.

I actually saw a comic strip in a local paper. It was SWAMP. There is a duck and he says "Quack" then the nitpicker bird says to him "You can't use that word again, it's politically incorrect". Made me laugh, because thats how all this political crapness is getting in the real world. What ever happened to "sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me"..

The person offended by the labelling in question is certainly mentally challenged and due to cognitive restraints would be in the rather unusual position of.... no no... this guy is just dumb.

DUMB!  How can a living organism conceive of such stupidity?!

One of the best examples of [color=006600]ignorant, offended, cerebrally-challenged[/color] persons, was related by a Maths Major when this story broke on /.

It seems that a group was exiting from a Maths exam into the passageway.   The story-relator turned, and said to his companions- "H##, I hate [color=660000]intergrating[/color]!"

A strident female blocked the group in the passage and pointed her finger at the speaker.  She publicly (and loudly) condemmed him for what she perceived as an unwillingness to refrain from racial-discrimination!

Since most in that passageway were in mathematics, she received laughter from ALL sides.
(Intergrating is a mathematical operation)
