Yeah - can you imagine citizens of any other country taking down their flags to avoid offending any foreigners?  I don't think so.  The political correctness in our current society is so overboard that ordinary citizens are afraid to express an opinion - they may be labeled a racist, a sexist, or whatever.  I'm not talking about deliberately insulting someone, that's not only rude, it's just plain wrong.  I mean simply expressing a different opinion, or paying a compliment to a woman.



We've got the class warfare people, the race card players, anybody with an agenda.  These people won't be happy until you can be punished for having bad thoughts - or punished for anything somebody else doesn't like!  Non-discrimination is not a guarantee that nobody can hurt your feelings ever again, but some people take it as such.



Just because some people don't like something or think something is wrong doesn't mean there should be a law against it - but the special interest groups and lobbyists spend all their time and money making sure politicians make those laws.  Then the law gets tested, pushed, stretched to the point where it is actually accomplishing the opposite of what was intended - what was meant to bring us closer actually pushes us farther apart.
