I love when people complain about being 'PC'.

And by love, I mean hate, because all it does is make you look like a cretin that doesn't care at all about being a decent human being.

What is a "decent human being"?

Well, for starters, not using terms that are offensive and insulting.

No such thing. Every word can be offensive to someone, somewhere, depending on circumstances and personality. So that can't be true.

Is there anyone who finds "fish" offensive? mmm

Am I a decent human being Peach? 😮

Well, yes. However there are terms that are widely seen as offensive because of stereotypes tied into them. There are a lot of negative stereotypes leveled at people with mental illnesses and disabilities and society as a whole is rather ableist, and using "retarded" as a synonym for stupid just promotes that.

I wouldn't put much stock into something just because the majority of society feels a certain way about it. Last time I checked, up until the 1950's, calling a black person a ****** was not considered offensive. The majority of society, in fact, considered it completely acceptable to call a black person a ******. Was the word therefore not an offensive word, because it was widely considered an acceptable word? Obviously no, as I'm sure you'd agree. So why, then, would you think that because a word is widely considered to be offensive, it must therefore be offensive?

It all seems very relative, to me. A word is just a word. It has no intrinsic meaning or importance beyond what we give it. It's more the intention behind the word, then the word itself, that matters.

Therefore imo, you can't be a bad person just because you're saying a word.

Unless that word is "Fish."

Anyone with a puckered face maybe.

The fluff in the Dark Eldar codex is so good.

Just saying.

Got back from drinkin' with friends cuz of my birthday and all. My friends are wimps when it comes to alcohol, I swear, I need to hang with Screampastey. WE WOULD DIE!

But we'd die CHAMPIONS.

Right? Let's see, with the cash I had in my pockets, I drank eight shock tops, three Jack in cokes, nine shots of patron, four Sam Adams, some random lager someone handed me and finally ended the night at home where we shared a bottle of honey mead.

Windmill Beard man is back, and he's got a new beard.

For anyone that might not be sure, that is a Moose on the right side. And I'm not sure what it is on the left side.

Apparently, he just used this to win the World's Greatest Beard contest or something.

That little brat got what he deserved.

Uh, no. What he deserved was a nice punch to the face. Maybe a kick or two while he was down. That? Nah. That was just silly and actually very dangerous. Not to mention the kid was 12 so I mean, no matter how justified that 16 year old would have been, if that kid had suffered brain damage, the big guy would be the bad guy here.

That said, seems fake.
