Well said. I agree completely with your distaste for extreme political correctness. Like I always say, "it's not a stereotype if it's true."

I'm so sick of it being dictated to me everywhere from media to schools to work to now even a programming language list. People need thicker skins. If you are so easily offended, then block that person's email from your mailbox. It's called the 1st Amendment. I may not agree with, or even like the things you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it -- whatever it is! I don't agree with radical Muslims wanting to kill me either, but I'll defend their right to protest and say whatever they want (as long as it's true!).
