| The Political Correctness Thread
Last week we had the "Don't call them gangs" thread.
Already today there are 2 PC-related threads in the Pub.
1. Substitute teacher in trouble in Florida for doing a crappy magic trick in school. He is accused of "wizardry".
2. Swiss ethics committee defends "plants rights".
These show that PC crap comes from both the right (wizardry) and left (plant rights).
So how about a thread for all the dumb@ss PC stories we find?
Post them here.

| Global Warming Got You Down? Try Eco-therapy.
For those of you concerned about your carbon footprint: FOXNews.com - Is Going Green Making You Crazy? It's Time for Eco-Therapy - Health News | Current Health News | Medical News Quote: |
Edwards suffers from eco-anxiety, the growing angst experienced by those who can't handle the thought that they — or anyone — are in some way contributing to global warming, species extinction and dwindling natural resources.
| Quote:
Sarah Edwards worries about the gasoline she burns, the paper towels she throws out, the litter on the beach, water pollution. She worries so much, it literally makes her sick.
"Fear, grief, anger, confusion and depression," Edwards says, pointing to the negativity that has manifested itself in real-life symptoms such as neck and shoulder pain, fibromyalgia and fatigue.

| The police that work with us for traffic detail are now told to wave cars on with their palms either parallel or perpindicular to the ground, as such rude and indignifying gestures can be taken as aggressive or mean-sprited.
Now they have to wave on traffic with a nice, gentle, palm, angled at a pleasant 45 degrees to the ground.

| I'm offended by political correctness, who's going to do something about that?
