P.C.
Is political correctness a useful concept, or does it stifle honest discussion?

I guess that it depends on the conversation and those participating in it.

I think it is important to know those things in pretty much any situation... For instance, I walked to the bus stop this morning and when I got to my stop, there is hobo sleeping there. I felt forced to walk up to the next stop, for my own safety, so I wouldn't be begged from, etc. I really wanted to post something about it on Facebook, but since there is no telling who I will upset and what I would have started if I had. In that case, I do not know the personal feelings toward the homeless (drunk hobos who sleep at bus stops) so I didn't post it.

Honestly, I would have to say that people hide behind the term PC. It has been twisted and contorted by both sides of pretty much every issue until I am not sure what it really means.

There are some people who would want to use the N word, but would blame PC on not being able to. I think that it is an offensive term with negative connotations and a hurtful past, that for those reasons should not be used.

The reasons for or against calling me a carpet muncher, the reasons are pretty much the same, it is offensive, has an offensive connotation, and is usually used by people with narrow minds, at best.

I don't think that we have to be so PC, but think before we speak. To not be hurtful to others.

Wait, is that what PC is?
If so, I'm in.
However, I don't think that it is that simple.

Draft a post in three parts. They must be connected by one thing, and object, a thought, a theme, etc. Listening to music is one of my favorite ways to pass time. I especially enjoy listening to it on the bus. It seems to make the time pass faster and it generally stops people from talking to me. I sit here with my headphones on and just go away, each song gets me closer to work, which gets me closer to going back home. I like listening to music and just letting my mind go, I come up with some of my best brain storming that way! Tuesdays is free download day on iTunes. Each week there is a song from a new artist that they give out for free. Sometimes get the song and then I get rid of the song after one play, but most times it is something good and ill keep it. My oldest turned me onto this, and now I have it in my calendar to make sure I don't miss a Tuesday! Today is Tuesday and it is time again to get a new song. The last few weeks have been a let down, but I never gi...

Write about something you normally blog about as if it's a music critique. Since I usually do these prompts I was going to do it about that, but since I had a near death experience this morning, I'm going to write about that: The beginning of the walk started out easily enough, with a slight breeze in the opening to invite the listener to the ride. As we walk up Copper, the breeze is a bit stronger, but it blows the listeners hair around a bit too much, so that later, a ponytail holder will be required. Once you reach Eubank, the slight hill is enough to make any listener wish for a Hover-around. This only increases when the listeners son takes the hill like it's nothing, and leaves the listener behind. You reach the first light, and have to deal with people who stop in the cross walk in their efforts to see if it is safe to turn into on coming traffic. You eventually make across that street, but t requires you to go around some cars, don't forget to shoot dag...
