Members SFK Posted August 29, 2010 Members Share Posted August 29, 2010 Thanks friend. I was only gone for about two weeks, went on vacation, and found it strangely difficult to jump back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 29, 2010 Members Share Posted August 29, 2010 You noticed that too huh? Once you take a real break, the momentum disappears. For the record, I missed you too.

Members Titus Andronicus Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 I was reading an interview from last year with Patsy Pease and she had this to say: http://www.welovesoaps.net/2009/07/we-love-soaps-how-did-you-know-that-kim.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks for posting that. Patsy had a lot of interesting comments. I wish she'd talked more about her days on Search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Does anyone know what "Politically Correct" really means anymore? When you're for something, I hear people against saying you're being Politically Correct. When you're against something, I hear people for saying you're being Politically Correct. I ask, because California, from where I'm sitting here in Connecticut where gay marriage is legal, doesn't seem to be all that politically correct as this Patsy Pease is claiming it to be. I never used the term in an argument for or against anything because I never really understood what it meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah, I think she got her terminology jumbled. Her example of shutting down an interracial relationship is what I (and most people) would call politically incorrect. Y&R making the switch to faux furs in the '90s, politically correct.

Members MontyB Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 A soap opera or any TV show adding blacks or other minorities just to appease those that are complaining is another form of being "politically correct" some would say.

Members marceline Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Politically correct is one of those terms that's lost all meaning. Basically it means that somebody doesn't like the result and feels it favors some undeserving "other." When somebody who is used to being catered to discovers their needs and wants are no longer at the top of the agenda they tend to be the ones who use the term "politically correct."

Members MontyB Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 I wouldn't say it's lost it's meaning because what you've stated still applies 100%, but it's just evolved as with many adjectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 So P.C. has pretty much lost its inoffensive/thoughtful/considerate/right and just connotations and become a pejorative for whiners who didn't get their way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just look at the people who use it and the circumstances under which they use it. It's almost always someone complaining about being forced to think about someone or something they consider unimportant. It's an out of date term that basically should've fallen by the wayside with "Show me the money." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Gotcha. The early '90s don't seem that long ago, but yeah, they really were in ways beyond calendar years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted August 30, 2010 Members Share Posted August 30, 2010 Ha Ha. Yeah, that basically how it's used today. I've noticed that a lot of Conservatives use it against Liberals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
