Theunicornhunter 2 Posted June 26, 2003 It boggles my mind: Re: The Language Police I don't know what add it might show when you read it but the link to antidrug was unintentional (but very interesting.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted June 26, 2003 I couldn't read it all, it was so bogus! As for the 3 stories: 1. Last time I checked, blindness is a handicap. 2. Dinosuar skeletons have been discovered. 3. Why should race effect what kind of fictional job a person has in a story? This "Language Police" crap sounds like an attack on free speech if you ask me.

LadyNarana 0 Posted June 26, 2003 I take issue with one of those especially. Most members of the "religious right" I know don't believe in evolution, but agree that dinosaurs exist/ed. Contrary to some people's opinion, religious people aren't inherently stupid, or uneducated in the sciences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted June 26, 2003 Political correctness, like anything else, has a time and a place. This, however, is getting to such extremes, it makes me laugh. I mean, really, how can they say "blindness" is not a dissability? If they believe that, then I guess they think blind people shouldn't get handicap parking spaces, eh?

RomanticStrings 0 Posted June 26, 2003 Everyone realized that this article was about a book that attacks political correctness, right? It seemed like you were attacking the article directly, but you agree with it. I think that we should all go buy this book. I know that I'd like to. ~Conor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
