Are you Hypersensitive? PC Speech and Hyper-sensitivity

Do you know a hypersensitive person or a passive aggressive person? Does pc speech irritate you? Do you know someone who likes to play the victim? Do you know people who seek to ‘punish’ you if you don’t like to play their game? The world seems full of them, and they are sooooooo irritating. Here are some definitions from a quick search…

Politically Correct:: conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated

Passive-Aggressive: : being, marked by, or displaying behavior characterized by the expression of negative feelings, resentment, and aggression in an unassertive passive way (as through procrastination and stubbornness)

Hypersensitive: excessively or abnormally sensitive

Have you ever been the target of one of these people? I have, and let me tell ya’, it’s sad, irritating and funny all at once. It’s kind of like they are self-appointed thought police. Say something that they deem is ‘wrong’ and they sulk. If that doesn’t ‘fix’ you then they might throw a tantrum and demonstrate that they are quite capable of being everything they say they condemn. Anyway, that was on my mind and was wondering if anyone else found this type of behavior as irritating as I do.

Then, of course, there is the pc speech and people that like to talk out of both sides of their mouths. I see this a lot with politicians. I think layers like this kind of stuff. They are afraid to say what they mean. They like to use vague language so they can wiggle out of anything… “well, that’s not quite what i meant”… “you’re taking me out of context”. and so on…

How about the ‘food police’, or any other of these nazi-types? Don’t they drive you crazy? What is it about these people? Do you sometimes think that these people are complete idiots, I know I do. I sometimes wish I could just walk up and slap them! “HEY, YOU! YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE BUYING YOUR CRAP! YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT THINKS YOUR THE DEEP-THINKING, CARING GENIUS, YOU PRETEND TO BE!!!

Anyway, I’m laughing to myself as I write, but just felt like ranting for a minute… Made me smile, anyway…

But at the same time, some of the worst loudmouths on the radio use the term “Politically Correct” when someone criticizes their bigotry. I don’t find their “pushing the envelope” edutainment program to be thought-provoking enough to make me want to endure their us-vs-them mentality.

I hear ya! I can’t help but think of the boy who cried wolf though. Pretty soon no one listens and ‘real’ bigotry gets lost in the mix. “Time to circle the wagons boys, we’re losing the argument”! I have to admit, it makes me kind of sad. “…move along, move along, nothing to see here folks, oh, look… there is something over there much more interesting to pay attention to… go back to sleep now
