The general decline in standards today

[V.C. Brunswick]

The streets are alive with art-history majors, but try and find a good electrician under the age of 60.

And who's American born. Increasingly most of these jobs are now done by immigrants, both legal and illegal.

God forbid modern white middle-class Americans should ever do anything that requires them wash their pink, tender hands with Boraxo.

Boraxo doesn't get the dirt from under your nails like GoJo though---and it comes with a brush for doing so.

The best way to keep the dirt from under your nails when greasing the car or whatever is to rub a little Vaseline under them before you begin. Girls know this stuff.

I like scrubbing under the nails. It builds character.

You can also rake your nails across a bar of soap before beginning the dirty job -- then when you wash your hands the soap dissolves away and there's no stains on the towels. Plus the act of raking the nails can be very satisfying if you're in a bad mood.

Some may find it a little difficult....

The problem with being "non-PC" is that people use that as an excuse to be offensive and insulting. It's very similar to "keeping it real".

 

[HudsonHawk]

I don't see it as an entitlement so much as the fact that you can't get a job operating a photocopier these days unless you have a college degree.

That's because half the college grads out there have no skills for anything other than operating a photocopier.

There will always be those offended by something. Now they tend to offend others with the long ever growing confusing list of what's next to whine about for their justice.

It seems a lot easier to simply study for finals..

Nah, studying requires some effort; most people who have been run over by cars did so without even trying.

You have a good point.
Unless it was a Volkswagen van, then of course I would assume you'd hear that coming and have PLENTY of time to get out of the way.
Segueing into that, I consider the Prius (and those like it) to be more dangerous BECAUSE they don't make a sound.
The quietness does have a benefit. A customer of ours uses his Prius, to take the family on trips to the country, to view the wildlife.
His kids enjoyed going each weekend to see animals they don't normally see, because the animals weren't spooked by the car.
They never saw Bigfoot though, but then again they didn't go to Arkansas.

Well now lets see....the "PC" groups are those that have organized and chosen City by City to set up camp and to sue Towns and Cities for having Christmas....to sue Towns and Cities for having any Easter events in public They have an agenda. They desire to reduce everyone's freedoms including yours (if you reside in the USA). No one says if you are not politically correct, that you desire to be out of control, rude, nor dishonest. Last time I checked, the USA still has what we call, the US Constitution. We still have Freedom. That same Freedom has been protected since the time period of our Founding Fathers by individuals that have had ZERO to do with being politically correct, and by willing to give their life to protect the very Freedom that those politically correct would have you stripped of. Freedom has never been "free" but from observing the majority of anyone in the USA that wants to scream for politically correct policies, have never served their Country....they don't believe in it. Something that is one of the most sacred treasures the USA has to offer everyone, is Freedom, and that Freedom has been paid by the Men and Women that have been willing to give their very life, to protect.

You can vote for "politically correct" all you want, but remember the Freedom that even allows you to vote, was purchased by those willing to give their life for your Freedom of choice to even be able to have a vote.

Apart from the persecution and muzzling of Loyalists... which were to them ¨politically incorrect¨. (And leaving out the denial of freedom to those of the ¨incorrect¨ skin color.)

Not taking any sides in a 18th Century dispute in North America... just pointing out that notions of what is the politically ¨correct¨ thinking and attitude existed since times immemorial on all sides.

You of course mean with ¨politcally correct¨ not the concept of politcal correctness itself (which exists on both sides of the American political spectrum) but only those of a specific persuasion you disagree with.
