Rude BS
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2005
I realize that most people know I’m rather conservative, probably to excess, however I’ll never understand how people can feel comfortable about making rude generalizations about other people (or their country, politics, religion, etc) when in the company of people who could be offended. To paraphrase the item that annoyed me.. was a comment to the effect of “if it had been a US plane that crashed, they’d have gone to war over it”. It’s crap like this that annoys me.. it would be one thing if there was some discussion happening where people were debating their country’s good and bad sides and trying to make a point about US policy against terrorists.. however this was made 100% as a smack about the US in the middle of a conversation about the plane crash that happened a few hours ago in Canada.
I find people’s choice of when and where to bash another group of people as a general sign of the ever declining world we live in. Political correctness has gone to far in regards to government involvement, however it would be nice for people to actually watch what they say occasionally and not go out of their way to be rude to others.
