    PC has no place in anything. Especially not in national security policy. PC needs to be stamped out like the vermin it is. How about we use common sense, tact and the first amendment as a guide instead.

    Personally, I am getting mighty sick of it. Would be fine if everyone actually did it.. but for instance, blacks do not want to be called the N word, but use it themsleves all the time.. if they can, I can. They do not get to pick and choose from the english language.

    Political correctness has become a hiding place for those who are stupid to just be nice!

    Our national "policy" begins with the US Constitution, wherein the First Amendment forbids restriction of free speech. There are exceptions, such as not yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there is no fire. Polictical incorrectness, while it may offend some, is not usually truly a danger. The real danger lies in overreactions, such as that to Bill Mahr's show, "Politically Incorrect", which was cancelled after some of his comments shortly after the events of 9/11. I've read what he said, and the comments of the White House spokesman that "People should watch what they say" are far more dangerous than anything Mahr ever said about anything!

    If "political correctness" means having respect enough for your fellow man to not want to cause unintentional offence, then why wouldn't you?

    After all hasn't "unintentiional offence" caused trade disputes and war in the past?

    In fact how many off us haven;t fallen foul of "unintentional offence" with a partner - sh*t I know I have! :)

    We in UK are not unfamiliar with terror, going right back to having half of our cities bombed nightly by the Luftwaffe and having to send children from their parents to strangers in the county/

    We have had IRA bombings, the Red Brigade and the Bader Minehof groups and others all the way to 7/11 and the Glasgow Airport bomb.

    The thing about terror attacks is that more often than not, something triggered them.

    Whilst I grieve for the people involved in terror attack I also understand that there are such things as Agents Provocateurs and I still am unhappy that the FBI were unable to serve their subpoena on the banks and accountants in the North Tower (concerning the breaking EXXON/ ENRON scandal) because of the attack that day.

    Convince me there was no coincidence and I will stand right beside you.

    Not at all.

    I am a scientist.

    We have I ever said I am against the Jews?

    Is this attempt to "categorise" me not a form of bigotry?

    Incidently there is an expression "Insults are the last refuge of the ignorant", I clearly would not like to apply this to you.

    But how do you feel others might interpret your statements?

    I don't know - and given that I have been a security analayst, that should speak volumes,

    The allegation was that the oil companies had been fraudulent in the results of geological surveys and effeectively lying about how much oil might be yeilded from places that they had options to drill. Some of the sites had been independently tested and shown to have no oil at all.

    What this meant was the shares in those companies had been artificially inflated through fraud and sold off for huge margins. The allegations were made and the FBI started investigating.

    The people involved were the usual suspects JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley Witter et al along with the heads of the oil industry. All who knew each other and belonged to the same fraternity at college (the skull and bones).

    The ethos of this society is that the law does not apply to them and a "bonesman above any other" applies.

    Bush Snr. (President and CEO of Sapata oil) was also the man who recruited Bin Laden when Bush was head of the CIA...

    Strange that this attack was so sucessful when all the others were a bit of a pigs ear wouldn't you say? Almost as though it was conducted with military precision...

    Bin Laden got the exposure that he wanted.

    Bush Jnr got public support to invade Iraq, which is what he wanted

    Bush Snr got to see his son finish the job in Iraq whilst securing a military foothols in the middle easrt, which is what he wanted...

    I don't believe political correctness has a place anywhere in our society, but especially not in our national security policy. Political correctness is generally a cop out and/or an excuse for laziness of the brain.

    I'm beginning to think it has no place PERIOD. It keeps us from discussing
    the heart of most of our problems and we're left to nibble around the edges
    so to be careful not mess up the whole.
