Me too. With political correctness you can't even show the world your opinion about things as they'll be bleeped away for not being decent. -Dirk |

PC is what keeps the airline security down. You can't pull a brown person out of line for fear of a lawsuit. My last flight, I flew from DC to Seatlle, I saw three men of Arabic descent, 2 conversing is Hindi, waltz right through. Then, right in front of me, four passengers (2 couples obviously touristy) well into their 70's, were pulled because the attendant overheard one say something about her shoes hurting her feet, after "All that walking". The attendant pulled all four of them and made these elderly folks remove their shoes and socks. When asked why they were chosen, the woman attendant said verbatim, "We have to pull anyone who makes a shoe reference, it's policy." At this point, due to long lines and short temper, I blurted out, "Jesus, when do you have time to look for suspicious people with all the geriatrics having orthapaedic trouble that you have to search?" I was given a glare..I then said (because I sometimes have an extremely difficult time keeping my mouth shut), "My shoes are killing YOU!" I was subsequently searched. Good job security you missed my six inch blade in the front pocket of my bag...guess you concentrated too much on my feet! |

I hate when people use political correctness to make themselves look smart. It just makes them look like a bitch and gets everyone to hate them. I will watch my mouth when it comes to some things though. If someone perfers to be called something I will usually do it unless it is too out of the way. But that is more just common courtesy. And I won't use racial slurs because that just leads to more trouble than it is worth. Usually I just don't care when it comes to PC either. I'm not Christian and I have no problem with Christmas trees and the term "Happy Christmas". I just think people use political correctness as a cheap shot at people, it is very rare that someone does something that will truely offend a certain culture. I commend you Mister Sinister, but one thing I learned from being a cashier in a town where there are a lot of old people is that they are just doing there job and you getting mad won't change anything because they don't have the say in it. I had to ID anyone for alcohol, yes even 90 year olds, and I got bitched at for it. They have to search anyone with any comments relating to shoes, no matter how bullshit the rule is. I don't think they wanted to search the people either. Hopefully your scene made it to the managers so everyone got something out of it though. |

I don't think they wanted to search the people either. This is sort of my point...These airline Secutiy personell are not highly trained, they are poorly motivated due to being underpaid and overworked. If Airline security is such a "Big Deal" why are we tiptoeing around it, resorting to "shoe phrases" in order to try and pinpoint terrorists?. I was basically like, 'Search me! I am long haired big beard knife weilding Satanist with a penchant for buggery!' I was searched and my six inch Gerber blade STILL made the plane for a cross country journey, it did not have the same luck upon return. It was confiscated in Newark airport, amidst some grumbling, along with two cigarette lighters (souveniers). When I asked where the nearest kiosk was for fast ship home they scoffed and told me they were confiscated. Again, not being able to hold my tongue, I asked if I had to be paddled or if I could just serve lunch detention. The infamous glare ensuing, I asked if they were taught that look in airline safety school. I know damn well I can't take lighters AND knives on airplanes, I just can't help testing the electric fence for weaknesses though. I'm like a damned velocoraptor. Really though, I was just pissed at having to go on a cross country trip for two days on the unholiest of marketing campaigns, If I suffer at the hands of authourity, all authority suffers under my backhanded comments. All was set at ease however when the VP of a company we've been trying to woo, told me that he did not give us more business based soley on a personal dislike for my CEO, which I learned, is a very pervasive attitude in our business circles. Not long now before that asshole is off the the Russian front. |

eh, the state it's in today is pretty over the top and relatively unnecessary... but getting rid of it completely, and making racial insensitivity commonplace, can be a pretty slippery slope... |

I am going to say what I want to say, but I don't go out of my way to offend people. I will say 'nigger' when talking about a group of people (black or white), because I believe there is no other word to describe what I want to say. Mr. Sinister, I salute you. |

I know what you mean. I've gotten across with scissors, I believe, but the French confiscated some nail clippers. What the hell was I going to do? Give the pilot a bad manicure? |

I agree with stumpy here, censorship right now is a little over the top, but getting rid of it completely, isent a very good idea. |
