Does anyone have a web link to P.J. O'Rourke's 'Foreigners Around The World' to e-mail to this sand Nazi?

Oh, PM it to me, too. I can't find the damn thing anywhere these days.

I advocate ethically sensitive language.

I advocate civilized behavior. Mooselimbs first.

it is not surprising if 69% of Britons see all Muslims as terrorists

I'm calling bs on this without even looking it up. Does the author just pull numbers out of thin air? He want us to believe that seven in ten Brits see "all Muslims as terrorists"? Yeah, right.

“Derogatory words make way for degrading treatment.”

Oh, you smug, simplistic POS (sorry for the acronym for derogatory words), political correctness was and is about far, far more than a few derogatory words. It was and is a mountain of illogical nonsense erected to prevent anyone from looking objectively at certain customs and habits and peoples, and to force everyone to pretend that all cultures are equally valuable, and all people are equally acceptable and valuable to society.

And that’s just for starters.

If seven in ten Brits really did think that all Muslims are terrorists, we'd see Muzzie heads on the Tower of London.

It's because not enough Brits appreciate the Muslim threat to their nation's future that their government continually does stupid things like let a top-ranking al-Qaeda terrorist go free -- to his $1.5 million tax-funded home.

Guffaws directed at al-Guardian.

Actually, “spastic” and “retard” are descriptive terms that accurately capture the disability in question.

Include me on the list of people who think everyone needs to just grow a thicker skin.

I remember some wits who innovated the idea of spontaneous, one-use epithets of imaginary words. They quickly discovered that those who complained about known slang words and curses just as quickly complained that nonsense words were deeply offensive.

They were suffering from, what Berke Breathed, the cartoonist of Bloom County, called “offensensitivity”. They were offended because they wanted to be, and enjoyed pretending to be outraged.
