PC running amok

[Ishmael]

I found this little article buried in the cesspool that passes for news these day. Short and sweet it got me to thinking.

Seinfeld on Political Correctness.

First of all it sparked a thought on the current wave of 'eating their own' that is washing over the GB. I suppose that there were some that thought that sequestering the political threads was going to put an end to the bickering. *chuckle* And a goodly portion of the bickering is essentially rooted in "political correctness."

The paragraph in the middle of the article concerning Seinfeld's 14 year old daughter caught my eye. Her accusing her mother of being 'sexist.' Where do you think she learned that? School perhaps? Proving my working hypothesis that today's schools are as much about indoctrination as they are education. As technologically complex as our world is becoming one would think that a great deal of that indoctrination could be/should be replaced with some real education.

Of course it's fairly easy to take up class time filling those young minds with worthless shit because it's obvious that those little urchins have ample time on their hands not having to deal with the real world which is probably the reason that a great deal of that PC baggage are the first notions that bite the dust when the school days are over and those same urchins have to actually go out and deal with the real world leaving the unemployed/unemployable to continue on with the bull shit. After all, those individuals that made poor PC choices during their higher education still have ample time to sit around fretting about nonessential bull shit. I can readily see how being a burger flipper with a masters degree in classical languages would lead to depression.

So it's easy to see why more and more comedians are choosing not to book college campus venues. Who wants to play to a soulless, humorless crowd? A crowd so consumed with their petty self-righteousness that they can't laugh at their own foibles. We need a 12 step program for those folks.

The creation of a separate Political Forum turned the GB into another Playground. The only difference between the new and old GB is people now accuse each other of being sex offenders instead of evil conservatives.

No one saw that coming, right?

It did exactly what Laurel wanted to happen.

 

[bg23]

EXACTLY.

We created the Political Forum 6 months ago because we wanted people to accuse each other of being sex offenders.

IT'S ALL PART OF OUR EVIL PLAN.

we? WE? THAT MEANS IT WAS A CONSPIRACY

Serious question: why is it when the Gee Bee is all fun, insightful, and interesting it's because you're all so awesome - yet when it gets stupid it's all my fault?

I blame Manu. You should too.

My theory is thus.

When St. Augustine wrote on the subject of the free will, he originally noted that the will is not indeed free, but is controlled by a woman who was not born as of yet. When man did good, he had control of his will, but when man did bad, it was this woman whom was at fault.

Hundreds of years later, Nostradamus prophesied that this woman would come in the form of a web mistress who had an unhealthy obsession with cats.

The Catholic Church with its hatred of both Nostradamus and erotic literature erased all of the writing on the subject.

Up until late last year, the accepted view was that man does have free will and exercises it completely. However, the webmistress that was prophesied, whom we now know is Laurel, started a movement that separated political chat from endless threads of images of butts, recipes, and things of girlish nature. Knowing this, those with a political ax to grind unearthed the original manuscripts of Saint Augustine and Nostradamus. These writings were very well preserved considering they were under a driveway poured by none other than Saint Peter of Denver.

Thus we now have the truth.

So, a quote from one 14 year old "proves" your hypothesis?

LOL, how "scientific" of you to have such a rigorous vetting process for whatever passes through your head.

I didn't say that, did I?

I'm proud to be a part of it.

Took a while what with me not being here, but eventually, as all good things may or may not do, it came to pass.

I shall retired on the proceeds because there's got to be a way I benefit from this somehow, right?

It always comes back to pussy.

 

[Adre]

Been a while since we had a whiny old men thread. Thanks guys.

 

[anchoredinocean]

It always comes back to pussy.

Hey, you said it, not me.

Damn women shouldn't be trusted with running a website either. I mean what about those 5 days their hormones are all out of whack? We get political forums, bans for posting personal information, and all sorts of other arbitrary shit.

Oh, you meant pussy as in a feline. My bad. My misogyny runs deep.

It must be bad when confronted with a female cat.

General Stonewall Jackson lost the battle of Kernstown, Va, and the whole world laughed at him or heaped abuse on him. Lincoln danced in the street. It was a Fed victory and a colossal blunder for the South...except it was also a significant strategic victory. The Feds were on their way to capture Richmond when Jackson struck them. They never made it to Richmond and McClellan failed to defeat Lee there. Lincoln made General Banks stay and hold the lil pissant town.

Your problem is called COMMAND.

Just because schools these days aren't teaching how to play banjo with three thumbs doesn't mean children are being indoctrinated with a PC agenda.

Pretty much for the same reason that economic recessions are only caused by incompetent policies of previous political administrations and economic recoveries are affected solely by the sober wisdom of current political administrations. External market forces never have anything to do with it, and nothing happens by chance.
