Politically Correct or PC

         I'm not what you would call a PC person. Usually I say what is on my mind first and make apologizes second. Very seldom do I apologize for how I see view things in life. I am a firm believer that everyone  has the right to say what they like when they like regardless of who likes what was said or not. It is one of the basic rights of being an American. Or 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech. I don't always agree with what is being said but I do believe the person saying it has a right too.
        Evidently there is a move in this nation for everyone to think alike, say the same things, and be very aware of what they are saying and to whom they are saying it to. Because heaven forbid we offend someone with the words that come out of our mouth. We are not allowed to have opinions and if we do have opinion they can't be voiced or put on the Internet for others to see for fear of loosing your job, or not getting into the right schools because colleges and employers look at online social media like facebook, myspace, twitter, and etc. etc.
       While I am not racist or think myself better than any other person. I think voicing your thoughts and opinions is a God given right . Though I don't care for Don Sterling's remarks about black people I do think he has a right to say them. Just like with the KKK I don't agree with their hate speech, but do think they have the right to speak it.
       In a perfect world everyone would love and respect one another. There would be no such thing as a homeless person. Everyone would pull their weight. The government would not be supporting people, the people would be supporting themselves. In a perfect world we wouldn't have drug addition, alcohol addiction. There would be no sickness. But we do not live in a perfect world. We do have homeless people, and people who are to lazy and worthless to take care of themselves and expect the government to keep them and their families up. Cancer, AIDS, heart disease, just a few of the illnesses that people face every day.
       We are individuals. We are not clones. We have minds, and ideas, thoughts, and dreams. Can you imagine if we all thought just alike. How boring this world would be if every person the planet thought and believed the same way. Depending on the person it could be awful. What if everyone thought like Fred Phelps the pastor that hated our military and homosexuals. If we thought like him then our military and every gay and lesbian breathing would be dead and burning.  While I think that it is disrespectful to protest a military funeral service. I do think that Mr. Phelps had a right to under our Constitution.
        I don't ram my beliefs and ideas down peoples throats. And I expect people not to try and ram their beliefs down my throat. If asked I will tell you what I think. You don't have to like it. It doesn't really matter to me. I will speak my mind. And if people don't like it well tough.
       I don't believe in marriage str8, gay or any other form. Gay people can do no more harm to the institution of marriage than the heterosexual have. I do think that it is a God given right to marry the person you love if that person wishes to marry you. I know that goes against my Christian upbringing but it is the truth. If you must marry, then marry the person that you love and loves you back.
      With all the craziness going on in the world. Being PC might look like a good thing. But it is really not. I try to conduct myself in a professional manner when I am at work or at school.  I try to do the right things. But I will not change how I think and see things just because a group of people tell me I should. I do not like being told what to do. If I am wrong about something then I will admit I was wrong. But I will never say I am sorry for thinking or seeing things the way I see them.
        I have about as much use for someone that is too lazy to get out and get a job as a boar hog has use for tits. I think if you are to lazy to work, then you should starve to death and die and quit taking up space with your lazy ass. What I said is not PC. It could hurt some one's feeling or self esteem. Well I say if the shoe fits then wear it.  It drives me crazy to go somewhere and see guys with the pants hanging to their knees. I think it is sickening to look at. No one wants to see some one's ass hanging out of their pants. I finally found out what that style is called. It's called swag. I like to call it stupid. But now I'm not supposed to say that either because it is putting a group of people down... Bull hockey. I say speak your mind and if it offends then it offends. You and I have a right to say what we think regardless of what people think about it.
       Scream it, shout it, let the world know what you think. If it is not PC scream and yell it louder... Say on and say it loud......
