Maybe this is what Bill Maher was talking about ,we have become too politically correct

43. Well, I can see we are on the opposite ends of the spectrum on this. What you say sounds good, up to

a certain point. But that is just it, it doesn't stop there. It keeps expanding, and growing, like a virus. New words are deemed objectionable, and it changes. While one day a word was considered fine, the next it can be considered highly offensive. And there goes that word, and then that one. Etc, etc. Until the language has been completely sanitized into a "newspeak" scenario.

Most human beings are very sheep-like. If you tell them not to do something, they will usually not do it. There are a tiny percentage who don't have this "sheep gene", and some of them are even criminals, who reject all rules of society. But some are also just independent thinkers, who feel very sensitive about things like freedom, and this kind of stuff sets the alarm bells ringing. These people are not the majority, and are in a minority. But I think they are the ones on the front lines, such as Bill Maher, a popular comedian, and its important for them to speak out about this, because they have a voice.

Anyway, I enjoyed the conversation, you made me think about this more. But on this one, we are at the opposite ends of the universe. But that is ok, the universe won't mind.
