It is even more relevant now, because the same thing that was imposed on South Africa – by the United States – is now happening here. So many people have asked for a copy of this message from a South African journalist that I post it here. My comments on her comments are in bold. Of course the parallels cannot be exact, but see whether you recognize any of this. (snip away the rest of this crap) Raciast BS and revisionist history offered as advice! *No thanks! *Any article in which South Africa is held to be "advanced" either now or at any point in it's history is naive and non-sensical. *Then again, given that ALL mankind is descended from Africans, maybe it was true. If you don't know anyone from South Africa then I would suggest you get to know someone. You will find that what is written in the above article is quite factual and true. If that is true, what a shame that South Africa has been so backward for the last 3 decades compared to the rest of the world. I blame it on the insecure European values if nothing else. If only Europeans hadn't invaded so may civilizations and tried to make them like their selves. The world would have been a better place. European values are royally ****ed-up. As testament by the original poster. I bet they didn't realize it would prove that. Europeans? **** them all. They even screwed up the english language. Nothing but a bunch of pompous self-righteous asswipes. |

The problems is that they've never had any self-respect so they can't be expected to ever have respect for anyone else. Ludicrous. It is not now and never has been necessary to have "self respect" to respect something or someone else. You are confusing being respectful - manners - with having respect. Political Correctness is about showing respect, not about having respect. It is about not creating offense, not about magically having a genuine respect for someone you don't know or might not even like. It is absolutely impossible to feel respect toward someone who hasn't earned it. Respect is a form of admiration, showing respect is form of social communication. We still hope that they learn what it means one day so they will finally deserve the respect they so desperately want and need, and in turn, will learn to respect all others. You define cluelessness. You do it well. The only challenge with dealing with people who have no self-respect is that you will somehow have to try to retain your own dignity and self-respect, while the non-politically-correct who lack those things will desperately try to rob you of them. Desperately? You like that word, don't you? Perhaps one day you will learn what it really means and stop using it in an inappropriate manner. You could call "political correctness" the more apparent meaning of "respect for others", but they still wouldn't be able to figure it out. Those who fail to understand this most basic of human principles have never been too intelligent. It isn't a basic principle and it is impossible to be "too" intelligent. However you do illustrate that being too dumb might be possible. Socky |

du jour ... You are confusing being respectful - manners - with having respect. Political Correctness is about showing respect, not about having respect. It is about not creating offense, not about magically having a genuine respect for someone you don't know or might not even like. It is absolutely impossible to feel respect toward someone who hasn't earned it. Respect is a form of admiration, showing respect is form of social communication. Political correctness is assinine! If people felt free to fully express themselves, we would be a much happier country. It is precisely the hypocracy of PC that leads to the many double standards, euphemisms and code words people are forced to use in order to avoid being labeled something heinous. As for respect, there are really two kinds: that which one can demand by virtue of their rank or title, as in Mr. President, and the kind that one can COMMAND by virtue of having earned it. No one can legislate morality as was best seen by Prohibition so no matter what the blather about how historic the election was this time around, the same people who lack respect still lack respect. I will call Barack Hussein Obama "Mr. President" and will refer to him as "President Obama" once he takes the oath of office. I will also stop insulting him. Now, whether he is ever able to earn my respect is another matter. So far, the jury is IN and he is a man of very low morals with delusions of Godhood. You could call "political correctness" the more apparent meaning of "respect for others", but they still wouldn't be able to figure it out. Those who fail to understand this most basic of human principles have never been too intelligent. It isn't a basic principle and it is impossible to be "too" intelligent. However you do illustrate that being too dumb might be possible. I strongly believe that the number of stupid people is rising exponentially. And, that includes ALL the forms of stupidity. -- HP, aka Jerry Laid off yet? Keep buying foreign, and you soon will be! |
