I cannot say, with authority, much about your rights.
My rights stop at the end of my nose; I attempt to conduct my life with than as my guide.

HMITD returns to the fray in full p-popping mode to bring you some more food for thought, a brief history of political correctness and a possible goal of those who push the PC scourge?

This is an excellent listen, these podcasts are very thought provoking - thanks all

To go out on a limb here, I'm in agreement, I believe that freedom of speech and political correctness cannot exist comfortably side by side.

It's a potential sensitive subject, the very nature of the beast almost dictates a certain compliance with political correctness, yet these podcasts illustrate very clearly to the listener that with a modicum of common sense, one can be sympathetic without having to pander unnecessarily.

Essential listening I reckon and a pleasure to listen to

Rambling thoughts all over the place now, but in the end I want to be identified as what I am.

In the words of BH, thanks for listening. In my own words, thanks for your thoughts. Nice to know there are other people actually following this - now get a mic and Pod away

Just picking up on something that Relentless mentioned about, essentially, the notion of respecting your elders, and how children in this day and age have no concept of this. I never considered that it could be a result of the constant erosion on social values that political correctness is doing, Relentless makes a valid point.

I have more to say! Will get to it tomorrow. Must not miss Jon Stewart!

(pssst - We know you smoke. I can hear you light a cigarette now and then. Sounds SO nice! Great mike! I miss my smoking days!)

Ah, The Daily Show: one of the few things I miss since I gave up television.

That and I got a chance to check out the Colbert Report while I was traveling. Love the 3D eagle coming at the camera in the intro.

Good times.

I'm still working my way through downloading the podcasts in this podthread -- soooo many megabytes.

Still, I will persevere. I must babblecast on this topic again.

Oh, and I thought with all the racket DH was making running around the house was masking that sound.

The mic is built in my Logitech headset and it is great, has brought a whole new listening experience to your music too.

But just in case anyone has a clue, for some reason everytime I listen to a Podcast lately, the mic stops working unless I reboot as a last resort. I am stumped (and highly annoyed) with this as I continuously recheck all the settings and preferences in my sound setup and find nothing wrong. If anyone could tell me what to check I would appreciate it.

Political Correctness vs. Common Courtesy and Respect. And more on the PC conspiracy.

I'm thinking of doing that, just to join in the debate. Hopefully get something sorted out and learn how to do it

Ack! I've been waiting 2 days for your response to my last PODcast here and you didn't mention it!

To be fair, I am also disgusted with what's going on in the world about those cartoons. It's the most ridiculous situation I can imagine.

But Political Correctness as a conspiracy just got a whole lot more meaningful...

Edit: I can just imagine in the future... What started WWIII? Cartoons!
