      Excuse me -- I'm liberal, and I see how silly this extreme PC situation was.

        Is it just me, or are Vels post become less and less intelligent?!

        Anyway, yeah thats pretty asburd.

        I was speaking to a support group a few days ago.....I mentioned something about "illegal immigrants". Well, I was "corrected" by a very nice person.

        So next time, remember to say "Unauthorized Persons"

              Its a little much, he's trying to place a fundamentally absolutist argument (as was the case for war at best , and then wrap it up in a kind of moral relativism to make it appear PC. Thats generally the case with most PC stuff, but I personally advocate that we totally ignore the whole idea of political correctness.

              Its a complete fallacy, in truth, it does not exist, there are merely only peoples opinions. The reasons for them believing in their opinions bares no relation to their actual argument, and thus logically, it holds as much water as ad hominem arguments.

              One should take his position to be moral relativist by default (I know thats a contradiction in terms, but view it in context of my own opinions and my right to express them), by emphasising the fact, perhaps that is showing a degree of insecurity about his own opinion.

                Tass, you're just sayin' that cos I won't join the dark side....

                And someone got on your case about "Illegal Immegrants?" Christ! Isn't that what they ARE (persons immegrating to a country illegally? What the heck are we supposed to call them?!)

                Next thing you know, it won't be "proper" to call a rapist a rapist.....

                          Well I find no reason to praise the soldiers, theyre just doing their job. But I agree, theres no reason to insult literature praising soldiers either.

                            Well I chose to find supporting the troops offensive, and I don't care who that pisses off. Political correctness is stupid.

                                It is offensive

                                American soldiers are killers. paid killers

                                By praising the solders efforts, you are praising the thousands of Iraqis they killed a few months ago.

                                not that I have a problem with that . We need trained killers.
