And Mossy looks like a blindingly white beautiful angel.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostNo one said PC doesn't exist, CP. What is being said is that the term has morphed into being used for anything anyone just doesn't want to listen to. When I am accused of being "PC" because I say "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas," someone has a stick firmly planted somewhere.
Personally as a Christian, I don't mind if someone wished me a Happy Hanukah, or Happy Kwanzaa, or whatever their religion is. It would not offend me. Happy Holidays does not offend me. And if someone is offended by me wishing them a Merry Christmas, oh well, too bad.

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/tavi...bs-1202639424/The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King
