In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I
wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because
I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up
because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I
didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that
time no one was left to speak up.
My family went to the gas chambers. Nothin PC (what ever that is) about my
feelings. Telling racial jokes is wrong!
I will always speak up! as that is my nature.
I don't see how being considerate of others is PC
This a list for information about my lifelong passion, I have had my car for 30
years. I subscribe to learn and to share what I know. Most of us can tell jokes
that are clean of racial crap.
Yes I know I can delete, but I do want to read the jokes, for they usually make
me laugh.
Its a big world, and this list travels to most of it. All should be welcome
without fear of being insulted by "well Meaning" folks who are unwilling to see
that the world has changed and one must be mindful of what we say.
I appreciate those who took the time to send words of support. I was feeling
pretty alone.
Speak up when something is unjust, you'll feel better.

Obviously leaving is a choice... shame thou... simply results in less
<br>overall banter...<br><br>This is simply a case of turning the other cheek
and being the bigger man...<br><br>Learn how to use a delete button and move
on... it's about that easy... I <br>doubt anyone really wants to loose your
input.
