I hate political correctness! I can be rude and have bad manners when angry (err as some of you know, and if mom knew I'd be yelled at)but politcal correctness goes beyond good manners and into stupidity. It seems every little group now takes offense to every little thing that I think the government needs to put out a pamphlet every 3 months to tell us who is or isnt currently offended.
As kind of an example for awhile here (in Charlotte) years ago on the news the politically correct anchor teams of the news would describe robbery suspects- mid- 6' tall, twenties, wearing a white striped with blue shirt and jeans. I mean they would say everything BUT race in an effort to be "politically correct". They did quit this ridiculous policy, but when you describe someone I think its ok to say white guy, balck guy, oriental guy, etc. Whats wrong with that?
Ok now I will rant about the local news "teams". All have the two-anchor male/female pairings, and what kills me is when they take turns talking on the same story. Male- "Theres trouble in the Charlotte schools" Female-"The school board is worried about test scores", male-"but teachers say the system is flawed", female"blah blah blah" You get the picture. I say pick ONE anchor to give us the damn news! I dont care if they are male or female just LET ONE PERSON SPEAK ON THE SAME SUBJECT! Jockeying back and forth just makes them look stupid, yet they do it. Ok I guess I'm done with this equally stupid post
