O-ha
I was wondering how long it would be until the PC-Police showed up.
Lighten up for cryin' out loud!
Seriously, when did so many folks in the US get so damn uptight, anal-retentive and start sucking-sour-lemons about life?
I remember as a child (growing up in the Rocky Mountain West, so for all you know, I am not poking fun at folks but relating true stories from my own family) that as long as you didn't aim to hurt anyone, a good joke was a good joke.
It must have dawned on folks by now that political correctness has done nothing but make life more difficult...and done zero, nada, zilch, nichts to change people's feelings and prejudices. Those are not changeable by force, only by experience and learning to forgive and accept.
Thank goodness we managed to escape all that bull-shit over here in Europe...except the UK, but even they have gotten past the worst of it.
Lighten up, get a life, tell a joke...has it occurred to you that one reason the hate-filled christianists have been able to take over your country is because of all the nastiness and vindictiveness and political correctness aimed at the WASPs? No wonder they feel anybody to the left of Göring is against them.
I agree with you 100% on one thing, tho': Actually, the whole world agrees with you that life on this planet was much more fun with the Hill' and Bill show.)
Of course, I do most genuinely apologize to anyone whom I have offended with my little fun. But I'd be very surprised if that were the case - all my relations and friends from that part of the 'States have a sense of humor.
