Restrictions, restrictions (sigh)!
I was reading through the day’s news and came across a news about Jerry Lewis making an anti-gay slur. The American alliance for queers (I seriously wouldn’t want to come up on tops for the wrong search query) spent no time in making Lewis’ life hell.
That’s all our world has become, hasn’t it? One big system of people who think they have a God-given duty to police a particular section of society. I think, and I have no fear in saying, that this has led people to become A-grade wusses. There may be tribulations involved with being gay or belong to a minority, but shielding people has just resulted in them running to some entity that’s gained so much popularity that going against it is next to suicide.
Everything today has gone so politically correct that it’s difficult not to slip up. Imagine the tension and stress people live in just so they don’t say “fag”, “homo”, “indian” or “arab” around someone who’s simply too sensitive to such language. We were talking about office stuff the other day, and the topic of harassment came up. There just seems to be no space left for people to crack a simple joke in an office without ruffling a few feathers.
If you ask me, I’d chuck this life and settle sometime back in the 70s when things were much less “correct”. A bit hazy from all the weed, but definitely much better.
