I mean, people who complain about it in general aren't usually my favorite to begin with, but it's especially dumb when they act like it's a recent trend.

I remember in like first grade you could get in trouble at my school for making a finger gun gesture. This was before Columbine. In third grade or something we did "Secret Snowflake" instead of Secret Santa.

According to Wikipedia "Happy Holidays" has been around for over 100 years which is a surprise even to me

PC stuff has been around forever but the faux outrage over everything is recent and that's where the complaints come from.

Yeah. The youth especially are just really annoying. I hate people around my age, they're all vegan gender fluid whatever the fuck other labels they can come up with for themselves. It's pretentious and obnoxious.

Considering how much it's changed, it may as well be a new thing. It's like saying that feminism isn't a new thing--- sure, feminism has existed in some form for a hundred years, but it's fucking changed a *lot* during that time with at least three major waves. You can't pretend that suffragettes are anything like the perpetually outraged SJW feminists today.

The statues and flags of traitors shouldn't be displayed, except in a museum. Just like how Germany bans all Nazi symbols from public display and relegates their significance to textbooks and museums.

If that's what you take from that.

No, it implies the South were traitors and traitor's shouldn't be praised.

The US as a whole is a traitorous breakaway of the British Empire by that same logic, so I'm not sure how you can get so mad about there being no honour amongst thieves.

It was a significant, defining part of US history, not a shameful secret.

We beat the British empire when they're flag flew, we defeated the traitorous South when they're flag flew, we don't fly one flag, why should we fly another?

Either way, the South was traitorous to the U.S.

Same as how the Founding Fathers committed treason against the King, except we won. The South committed treason against the U.S. They lost.

Regardless, as far as I'm aware, people are allowed free speech in America and so are allowed to express dissenting views.

Statues and the flags should be in Museums, not publicly displayed. The same Germany does Nazi memorabilia. They're seen as a symbol of a hateful past.

You can't say you love your country and fly a rebel flag.

It's the difference between being a Patriot or a Nationalist. A nationalist acts in the interest of the country, a patriot acts in the interest of the government.

That's not the only reason it was banned.

Either way, the South are traitorous in the actual definition of a traitor. My opinion...the statues and flags of traitors shouldn't be displayed in public and the people who rightfully want the items banned, are not wrong.

Yep. I gave up the PC horsepower race in 2000, because any sound card, video card, processor, 3D accelerator was obsolete within weeks of the time I bought them. Now I just use PC for printing invoices, etc., consoles for games. Too bad, the 8-bit computers were great for games, and I miss the DOS glory days in the early 90s of DOOM and Wing Commander.

No, they're not PC issues when they're not PC issues. Everything you randomly complain about isn't an actual PC issue and the fact that you're clueless about PC -- because you weren't even born when it first became a big thing -- doesn't change that.

Also not a PC issue. Not everything that's fucked up in the world comes from PC culture.

We live in a country founded by treason where our greatest heroes were the greatest traitors. Further, we have monuments to Native Americans who raised up arms and attacked the US government. At least with many "Civil" War (technically it was a war of secession, so even the moniker is misleading) heroes, they *had* distinguished themselves in military service against other nations. Many of the Native Americans commemorated only ever fought the US government. Why aren't you voicing any outrage about them?

lolwut? People on the board usually aren't talking about PC culture, they're talking about SJWs and other shit. And while PC culture has been around, it's changed a metric fuckload over the years as the cult of PC has found new ways to torture the English language #FascismPretendingToBeManners
