I have no idea what's going on with the formatting of my messages,
either. Damn Microsoft.

We seem to live in the United States of the Offended.
Everybody's paranoid and Political Correctness has gone too
far.
"Shell
shock" became "operational exhaustion" became "post-traumatic
stress
disorder". Black people have different names for their
ethnicity
depending
on what their age is. (My near-family member in his 70s still
calls
himself
"colored" while younger generations just stare at him, but
most of my
friends just call themselves "Black".) "Senior Citizens" have
simply
become
"Seniors". In the Navy, the officer above you in rank isn't
called
your
"superior" anymore (they've become "seniors" too, like the old
people
and
kids in their last year of school).
People these days are driven by fear, they don't laugh at
things that
need
to be laughed at, and they take EVERYTHING entirely too
seriously. One
thing
I've learned from my gay Jewish colorblind tall co-worker is
how to
laugh at
damn near anything, and my life is a lot less stressful for
it.
I have a t-shirt that says "Think. It's patriotic." Perhaps it
should
just
say "Think." Or "Laugh." I think the people on the DMCForum
are, for
the
most part, able to take things lightly -- they're not offended
because
they
can laugh at things. If somebody on this list called me a
honky, ofay,
grey
boy, blue-eyed devil, cracker, whatever, I'd shrug it off.
(Although I
kinda
like "grey boy".) We get along not only because we have a
common
interest --
the DeLorean -- but because we're sick of everybody telling us
what we
can
do and say and how we should treat our cars. Hence we are some
of the
more
progressive-minded individuals who scoff at authority and
rebel
against
things that, like dopey dumbed-down language used by guilty
white
people
(oooooh there's a good one to get people riled up!) to make
sure they
don't
offend anyone who doesn't have a sense of humour. This list is
the way
American should be -- everybody resolves their differences and
accepts
each
other's way of life, and we can all get together and have a
laugh.
Especially if we're laughing at the DML. :)
I think we should have phone systems that say "For English,
press one.
For
English Lessons, press two." But don't even get me started on
the
United
States of Amexica. That's best discussed over beer.
</soapbox>
Whew. I need a martini. ;P
I think I really should go to PF so we can all have fun with
the
people who
have a sense of humour, and laugh at those who don't. :)
Anybody wanna
contribute to the fund?

The DML can be pretty Communist with there
strict/loose
depending on
who's moderating guidelines.
We street race in Wisconsin and all compact cars that
are all
souped up
are called Ricers or Zoomies. Hmm maybe the person
that got
the
rejected post should complain to the DML and say "how
dare you
call
that a racist comment, are you saying i am a racist
because i
said
ricer?".
This world is really starting to SUCK. Pretty soon
some person
will
bitch because it says "IN GOD WE TRUST" on our paper
money and
some
Atheist will get it removed. It is bad enough that we
live in
The
United States Of America and our main language is
English but
we must
press #1 for English or please stay on the line for
Spanish,
shouldn't
it be the other way around? DAMN we should just change
the
name to The
United States Of Whatever.
That would shock the moderator.
