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. http://www.merriam-webster.com
Then there’s the PC switcheroo – offend one party to make the other party feel good. Boy: oppressor-to-be. http://www.funny2.com/dictionary.htm Used to call that making jokes at other’s expense or put-down humor. That’s the nature of all humor. Can’t take a joke? Offend yourself.
Where does it end? Eventually, something will offend everyone. So all communication will be prohibited. Who decides what is offensive? Those with the power to suppress it. Is profanity offensive to God?

The law requires censorship of profanity and indecency (sufficiently offensive).
- https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/obscene-indecent-and-profane-broadcasts
- Albuquerque Code of Ordinances, Chap 11, morals and conduct (obscenity, indecency)
- APS rules against profanity/obscenity:
26. Language, Profane and/or Abusive – Using language that is crude, offensive, insulting or irreverent;use of coarse words to show contempt or disrespect; swearing.27. Materials, Obscene – Displaying material that is indecent and has the potential of being disruptive.
Here’s a new censorship: fag. Could mean a cigarette or homo. Cigarette commercials are censored. Why not censor everything offensive to homos? Why not censor everything offensive to heteros? Why not censor everything offensive to both? Why not censor anything offensive to anyone? See where this is going?
Fag was written in icing on a cake. A picture appeared on Fox News with the word fag reduced to “F” on the cake and reduced to “F..” in the text of the article. It appears fag has been added to the list of offensive profanity/indecency.
At one point in my military career, I was surrounded by people who chose to use the word “f..k” incessantly. Since the word was so freely used, I posted its definition in a general email to the organization. You think they cared about profanity? No. They sent me to a psychologist to be evaluated for mental illness. However, the psychologist agreed with me. You can’t both care and not care. There was a process established for grievances. http://girightshotline.org/en/military-knowledge-base/topic/grievances-and-filing-complaints
APS has a grievance procedure. http://www.aps.edu/service-center/documents/studentHandbook.pdf
In fact, almost every known organization has a grievance procedure. Unknown (secret) organizations do not. Kings and dictators typically do not have grievance procedures.
When confronted with the lack of an appeal process at EHB, I was told all decisions are delegated to the staff. When I objected, I was ignored. Power seeks its own. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Recently, the tide has turned – a little. A process was added to the constitution for LEGAL complaints. So nothing can be appealed unless the issue is considered a violation of the law. Of course, the offender will claim he/she has done nothing illegal. They will do anything they can get away with. That happens every time a powerful figure is accused of a crime (e.g., Hillary’s email fiasco). It takes the legal process to sort things out. So here’s how to get the process moving. Just like one repeatedly states “I felt my life was threatened” after killing in self defense, keep repeating “what you are doing is illegal” when surfacing a grievance. That is the ONLY way to get anyone’s attention. Even then, the rich and powerful are protected by a web of coercion and violence.
Security crimes committed by the Exec Branch (including Benghazi):
Grievances are carried out in subtle and not so subtle ways in politics. We are seeing cities and states boycotting each other over homosexual laws and policies. The latest is the NBA boycott of NC. Conservatives have been doing this for years. Just do a quick search on “christian boycott list.” Liberals are fighting back with their own version of hatred. Conservatives are offended by homosexuality. Conservatives do not want to support homosexual behavior in any way, form, or fashion. Conservatives do not want their children educated in the ways of homosexuality. So liberals hate Conservatives for being offended. Liberals are punishing Conservatives for being offended. This is war.
