Did I Offend?
I am so tired of being politically correct. Why do we walk around on egg shells? Why can't we say what we want (within reason) in a mixed group of people. I'm not condoning racist slang or anything like that but why can't we say things like " homeless people are either lazy or stupid." Not a great example. I got it from a radio talk show this week. The host says things that most radio personalities wouldn't say. Things like "you (any man) should require some form of birth control before you sleep with a woman and if not then she should have no doubts in her mind that she would have an abortion should it be needed. If she hesitates then you move on." He's saying abortion or lack there of is a deal breaker. I think it's refreshing. He pisses me off on a daily basis and I enjoy it. Why shouldn't he say exactly what's on his mind and not care about offending half of his listeners. I wish I could say exactly what was on my mind and tell people exactly what I think of them. But I don't cause I do care what others think of me and besides most of the time it's just being mean and I like the people I associate with so I'd just be pissing off strangers and I don't have that much time to devote. But my point is that this country is too conservative. Who cares that we saw Janet Jackson's breast at the Super Bowl? Why is it a big deal? Parents got on the network's back so hard over a body part all women have and all men (well all the hetero men) enjoy looking at. It's like offending someone is equal to shooting at them. Why can't people just be adults and take it as a fact of life (and a first amendment right) that you won't agree with what everybody thinks and that's it's Okay that way. My god isn't free thought the whole reason this country was founded? If everyone keeps their thoughts to themselves (either good or bad) then aren't we just going back to communism? Perfect example of this is my movie that I posted a few days ago. I felt compelled to right a disclaimer so that no one would take any of our words too seriously. Why? Why should I care? I tell you why because one wrong person sees it and takes it to the school and I could out on my ass. All because I used a few choice words that the actual nut jobs used on us and I'd be the one offending and well we just can't have that. Everything we do and say has to be pleasing to all people all the time. That's not a society I want to be a part of. But I'll keep doing it cause I'm a sheep. Bhaaaaa!!
