Yes, these days Im tired of people been so politically correct. Honesty is the best policy. Its simpler to follow that rule.
You are so very right, Pamela, your inference to”political correctness” is the very reason I wrote it. I used this “wet noodle” comment to illustrate it:“І suрроsе, уоu соuld wеаr а sсаrf іf уоu rеаllу wаnt tо, but І wоuldn’t rесоmmеnd іt. Тhеу rеаllу аrеn’t іn thіs уеаr.” I have already written a few followup posts in the same vein. Thank you for reading and commenting, Regards, Andre’
I thank you for posting this article, and could say volumes of the problems PC correctness has caused but then it would only lead to more trouble with PC correctness.
Life!
I remember that old saying which is “Be true to yourself even if your beliefs do not agree with a lot of people.”
Absolutely! The idea of being true to oneself inspired me to write this quote: “Be True To Yourself! But Embrace That Distant Shore, For Our mortal Journey, Is over All Too Soon.”~ Tranquilpen 2018 Thank you for reading and commenting Deepizzaguy
You are welcome Andre since I know of some people who takes stances in life that often make them stand out for doing what is right in life.
