Has our society become nothing more than thin-skinned wimps?!


Question: I despise racism, sexism etc as much as the next guy.....but have we become over-sensitive?????

(Are we now looking under beds and in closets on political correctness witch hunts? and doesn't this just really make harmonious relations ever more difficult?)

I definitely think we have become over-sensitive as a society. We had people from India in our office, and out of habit, I said "Holy Cow", and I immediately got embarassed and wondered if I had offended the guy next to me. Honestly, he probably thought nothing of it...but it really bothered me simply because we're constantly checking and re-checking everything we say. I feel like there is a constant filter as I'm speaking, because many times people can take things completely differently than how you mean it. I am the type of person that you have to truly be trying to insult me in order to insult me - can't we all be that way?? : )

damn straight.

America was founded upon being quite "baddass"

Yes harmonious relations will forever be more difficult due to all of which you stated

i was caught for jay walking by the police. When i told some people that a person named "jay" got pissed at me and filed a complaint. I was fired from my job

jk, but i am waiting for it to happen!

Thank you! Someone agrees with me! As if we didn't have too many social divisions before, along comes the PC troop with many more to make our lives that much more difficult!

Yes, it sure looks this way, because you have to watch every single word you say.

thin skinned and soft. We cry over terrorists getting a little water up their noses, so God help us if ever we are truly attacked and invaded - most would play Frenchman and surrender.
