Political correctness taken to the extreme.

The movie "Airplane" is on. Political correctness has gone way too far. The scene is the one where the pilot asked the little boy, Do you like gladiator movies? After that line the rest of the scene has been deleted. I dont need movie censors to restrict a comedy in the name of PC.

from one extreme to another
we had a cocker spaniel/black lab mix growing up. also had a yorkie which at the age of 9 was my baby...literally. it fit perfectly into cabbage patch kid clothes, poor dog. lol then a boston terrior, the most energetic dog ever. next was a german shepard/st.bernard mix. he thinks he's yorkie size. 2 shih zhus (not sure on the spelling), now down to 1...this is the most well behaved dog ever, the other not so much...major attitude problem toward women.
my impression was that it was extreme
overuse of laxatives - don't know of other causes but you might ask for a review of the slides by someone else (assuming diagnosis was made by biopsy - otherwise I don't think they could be that sure).
But, those ARE extreme disorders.

Wow - no not that extreme!! That's awful! (sm)
He's controlling and he is old fashioned and patriarchal but he's not completely insane!
Mine isn't this extreme but...
that is because he knows I would go out and buy new and spend more on it and then do the same with his stuff the next day he left the house! Like, oh, I don't know, maybe the remote to the TV or the TV itself...his favorite chair. lol
Now, if we are cleaning out the basement or something and looking to get rid of stuff generally speaking, I will say that it seems every husband thinks their trash is gold and our family heirlooms/memories, and extra kitchen stuff like that only used at holidays is disposable. I don't know what it is.
I'm still working on my hubs but I think I have trained him, to think of the consequences, pretty well. Maybe its just me, but I wouldn't take something like that lightly - wondering what he would do next!
ROFLMAO...come on...that is extreme..nm
that's a little extreme, dont you think?
that's AWFUL. Pitbulls are not the ONLY DOGS that are "vicious!" Though it is true that this is the wellest known breed to have been bred for fighting... every single pitbull i have ever encountered is amazing. They have this bad rap, and immediately people are scared of them. I'm friends with a guy who has one, full bred, GORGEOUS female pit... and she is the SWEETEST thing. I know we have had the pitbull debate thing here already< i just wanted to say im not sure how you can work for an animal rescue when that is their policy.
Extreme spoiled brattinitis
so he says, love it
PMS & extreme stressors - any quick fix?? (sm)
I always have bad PMS but this time I am also having some outside stressors that are causing me a lot of anxiety. I am trying to work but I am so unsettled I can barely concentrate. If I had time to make a doctor's appointment and get some valium or something I would - but does anyone know any natural remedies I can use for now??
Ty Pennington on Extreme Home Makeover and also
love Steve Doocey and Brian Kilmead on Fox and Friends. Really miss E.D. Hill in the morning!
Anyone on here with extreme near sightedness that is getting rather high intraocular pressures.
Mine seem to keep creeping up year after year it seems. They arent terrible yet but they are going up for sure.
I like him! Fun, artistic, not stuffy. Not into the extreme custom, high-end stuff. nm

You definitely need to do some research on her political views! nm

Although I don't know what's worse, the political banter or having to

I don't want to get all political, but Michelle Obama has been sm
quoted as saying, "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country."
This statement made me wince. I can't help but think of all of the GREAT wives of American Presidents who would never say such things about this great country we call home. For the first time in her adult life? What's so bad about this GREAT country that she isn't proud of?
I don't know. Is it just me or do others agree that we should have a First Lady in the White House who will stand behind her country through thick and thin? What's going to happen if in a year or two something else happens and she is no longer proud of this country? What kind of First Lady will she be then?
I think you should be president if you love America, born and raised in America, are Christian, and have solid convictions, and believe in the constitution.
Ahh, that's why I don't visit political board.

I disagree with you, but...this IS a political post.
How could it be anything but?
it was about her shoes - not a political topic
I would just ignore it. Started off about fashion. You can't control what people are going to write about a certain topic. Sometimes the two can blend together. Since we're not talking bout the O I would just ignore it and write another post about something else.
Please use politics board for political topics. NM

I think she is hoping to help save his political career so (sm)
she tries to appear supportive - for future money for herself probably. To keep him from going completely down the tubes so he can support his children. Won't work in this case I'm sure though. But it also could be that they feel sorry for the guy...I mean not only does he have to deal with his betrayed wife, he has to face the entire country and lose his career. He's probably near suicidal. I would probably have to feel sorry for my husband if he were in those circumstances, just a a basic human compassion.
Does this post not belong on the political board?

TAKE TO POLITICAL BOARD. All you want to do is fuss about Obama
It makes no difference to any fair minded person if he got the dog at the shelter, off the street, had him given to him. It just does not matter in the scheme of life. Go back to the other board. They may appreciate you there. This is the gab board and we are only talking about a little black and white doggie. You are not contributing anything we wish to hear.
Volunteering. Church. Political parties.

Political and candidate topics go on Politics board.
Thanks.
NEVER do I watch shows where I know celebrities will try to further their political views
But then again, I do look at the pictures in the morning of their pretty dresses :)
adminstrator...can we have a religious political radical board until the election?...sm
so as not to disturb the rest of the flotsam and jetsam of the gab board? So far everyone has been reasonable... Cat
Thought I saw a post like yours on the political board regarding grape research
America cannot take care of all the needy in the world, even if they gave the "grape research" money to them. Keep off your soapbox because you are yelling. I know several who use the welfare system. I give to no one on the streets. I don't care what kind of sign they are holding up, will work for ..... I rescue animals and help our 4 legged friends. That is about as charitable as I get.
Global warming - faction, fiction, political, mountain or mole hill
Trying to get a handle on whether people have bought into the global warming thing.
Do you believe it whole-heartedly 100% Gore-ly, or do you believe the scientist who have been studying global warming/cooling.
Also, do you believe a lot of it is politically-oriented.
Religious posts and political posts go to appropriate boards. NM
