Another contributor to our down fall...two words, "politically correct".
Fuck political correctness. Can't say what is true for fear of upsetting someone. Everyone dancing around the truth because they don't want others to think bad of them so they pretty up their opinions with less than effective words and ideas.
I want back the days when you said what you meant and if you pissed someone off then you punched each other in the face and then someone bought the other a beer.
No child left behind...Bullshit! Everyone gets a trophy...Bullshit! Be gentle with your children so you don't hurt their feelings...Bullshit! When people get pissed off at each other that's when shit gets done.
