This is what I don't get about those that get all up in arms about the so-called 'PC Brigade' stopping them being an a-hole. They want the right to be someone who doesn't think about other people and has no empathy for others. That's a horrible way to go through life.
Since when? you have no idea about anyones life. Just because they choose to not get offended actually means f all in relation to empathy. Dont be so arrogant. If someone calls someone from a minority group a derogatory term, like being racist, walks up to a disabled person and calls them that name to their face, i will be the first to stand and confront them. Dont ever confuse the two!
