"What a wee little part of a person't life are his acts and his words!  His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself."

Mark Twain, you are my man!!!

Have you ever noticed ...
...that when you offend somebody they're suddenly "more important than everyone else"?

Overheard:
"...I can't stand weirdos.  Or freaks.  Or perverts.  I think all sick-os should be locked away from society permanently---so the rest of us don't have to put up with them.
I also can't tolerate people who are prejudice.  They discriminate against the blacks, the hispanics, women, gays, transsexuals, immigrants, the homeless.  Bigots should also be put away, too.  We don't need their kind either ..."

...Go figure!

Being an outcast is a lot like being Jewish in early 1940s Germany and expecting justice in a courtroom

Why do they refer to these modern-day belief systems as "politically correct"?
Weren't they all conceived and initiated by special-interest factions of private citizens?

                  I've yet to hear a political candidate give a speech like
"...although the First Amendment of the Constitution guarantees us our freedom of speech we still must not allow any further continuation of the unbridled usage of any kind of speech which has been deliberately worded in such a way as to undermine the integrity and psychological well-being of any one single individual or any one specific group of individuals or of any one or more organizations, businesses, or institutions
...that it now be considered necessary to enact and legislate written laws and decrees whose purpose is to collectively temper the content and tone of public discourse, be it speech or written matter---whether online or on paper---in a way which will keep our freedom of speech and freedom of self-expression from trampling on the dignity and sensibilities of all fellow American citizens, thus ensuring an environment of greater social and interactive diplomacy in our day-to-day face-to-face dealings with one another ..."

 Now At Participating It-Must-Be-A-Burger Restaurants
             Introducing the all-new Greta ThunBurger
A unique sandwich made with psychoactive ingredients guaranteed to transform you into an overzealously officious crusader/reformer on a mission to "save the planet" and to "save other people from themselves"

She doesn't fly because "the emissions from aviation are too high".  So the Swedish teen environmentalist/crusader sails across the Atlantic in a racing boat on a two-week trip from England to the United States (and during hurricane season no less).

Exactly how was this racing boat powered?  Did she, perhaps, take all her dumps into a special onboard device that transforms biological waste into "methane power"?

I think the reason she's garnered so much attention is because of how blunt and stark she is in her demeanor.
For whatever reasons people always overreact strongly to anyone who eschews their inhibitions or are just habitually blunt and candid about their honest thoughts and feelings, especially if in an irreverent manner.

          When an eagle is guarding its nest anything outside that nest will look like an "intruder" to it

Why is it any time you need to make contact with somebody they're never available?
...then, when they do decide to finally come around, they knock on your door when you're either still in bed, or on the toilet, or fixing to leave to go out somewhere?

I tell you, these "normal" people
...it really IS "their" world", and everything really is "on THEIR terms"!!

I swear, any Constitutional rights I may have end instantly the minute I make any kind of contact with another person.

                                                Authority Figures
Those allowed to control you who probably can't even take care of themselves properly or get their own lives together

Those bent of "reforming" and "rehabilitating" you even as they have plenty of character flaws and personal issues of their own

Fatalism
....believing that whatever happens is by divine autocracy

Why do they call a lot of these modern-day beliefs "politically correct"?
  Weren't they all initiated by "special interest" factions of PRIVATE CITIZENS?

                      I've yet to hear a political candidate give a speech like

"It is my understanding and my firm unequivocal belief that the American people can no longer be satisfied with or accepting of the notion that 'There can be but just two genders of humanity'.

That new policies for this new age proclaiming the existence of multiple genders must now be enacted to serve and satisfy the new breed of mankind and their future offspring and generations to come.

It is a new age for not only the United States, but for the rest of the world as well! ..." 

Yet another reason to loathe and despise the current crop of lawmakers:
The way they've been gradually deregulating business, industry, and government the past 40+ years while increasingly overregulating the private citizen and human behaviors
