I'm getting ready to move to Spain. A number of things are causing this... chiefly, Hillary Clinton running for president and the sudden "please don't offend me" nature of our country.

Come up and join me in the great white north. You'll have to cut your own igloo, but I can help.

I wouldn't mind it, and my dog wouldn't mind it... However, my wife and kid might have a few choice words to say about the cold... (and none of them nice, lol).

Someone on (hackaday?) the internet turned a teddy ruxpin bear into an evil swearing sadistic and verbally abusive masterpiece. If I can find it again I'll link it - it was NSFW and NSFchildren lol

That hasn't been overly prevalent though, at least not that I saw, until the last few years or so.

I don't do political correctness at all. If you are a black person, you're a black person. If you're a white person, you a white person. If you fall somewhere in between then we'll figure it out as we go.

If you like to eat crackers out of a barrel... move over, and pass the salt.

I heard someone say the other day that "political correctness is just evidence that stupidity is contagious".
