"The person I replied to, and yourself, say, "Who cares if someone gets upset at a post or an offensive term?""I never said that. And who actually finds that term offensive and for what reason?
"However, for me, there is a moral distinction between insulting an individual, pompous, disingenuous jerk versus insulting an entire class or group of people, only some of whom may be jerks."
How is the word "ghettoblaster" insulting an entire class of people? And what does any of them being jerks have anything to do with this?
"BTW, no one answered my question about what is meant by "politically corect". For example, when Senator Santorum and fellow morons try to censor the internet, they "are just being politically correct", are they not?"
Yeah, they are, because politically correct is when no one is offended, but we all know that is just about impossible, especially regarding something like the internet. So they are just trying to be politically correct, but are just being dumb about it.
"If not, why not? What does that term mean? Why don't you ask Limbaugh or O'Reilly what you think about this, and get back to me?"
I don't see how that would help anything.
