Being PC completely sucks. Everything is toned down and diluted for us in order to protect everyone's feelings, all the PC terms make me sick. Videogame ratings and the warning labels on CDs are not that big of a deal for me because they would let the parents know ok, this may not be appropriate for your child, but then again that would only work if parents actually cared about their children's lives and what went on in them.

"When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up his school, And they blame it on Marilyn.. and the heroin, Where were the parents at?"

I love this quote from "The Way I Am" by Eminem, I wrote an entire thesis driven research paper approx 25 pages long (only had to be 6) about how music is a huge scapegoat for the worlds problems. There are so many things wrong with how people react to things, some of the warning labels on products just make me sick, people have stopped taking responsability for their own actions and just place their actions and responsabilities onto the government, the media, and faceless corporations, yet when the government/media/faceless corporations attempt to excert force over the lives of said people all they want to do is bitch about being free and being able to make their own choices, but as soon as their child who listens to violent music, plays violent games, watches violent TV and has nobody to tell them that what they see and hear and do is pretend and not real and can get you in real trouble and have real consequences, pulls a knife or a gun, or does something wrong they just want to put all responsability or blame those same forces again. People are losing their sense of accountability, dumb ass lady spills McDonalds coffee on her lap and wins a HUGE lawsuit, they actually put a disclaimer on the back of a bag of PEANUTS that reads: "This product was prepared at a factory that handles treenuts. This product may contain traces of peanuts." If you are that stupid, you deserve whatever happens to you from eating it. There is a disclaimer in the winnabago owners manuals that says, "Cruise control will not steer the vehicle, please remain in the drivers seat and operate the vehicle at all times vehicle is in motion." Reason it says this, a man bought a Winnabago set cruise control at 80, and went to the kitchen to make himself an omlette, the RV went off the road and crashed and the man was injured badly, he sued the company and won 5 million and a new RV because the salesman didn't make it explicitly known that he still had to steer the RV even though cruise control was activated. All these people should be shot, they are just tainting the human gene pool.
