Here is some food for thought for you, taken from NewsByUs:
The biggest problem with political correctness is its net effect on society. People don’t talk to each other anymore because someone told them that they have a right to not be offended, ever, over anything, even if offending them is the right thing to do.
We’re not supposed to use terms like “winner” anymore, because “losers” find the term offensive. We’re not supposed to talk about such antiquated terms as “right” or “wrong” because in a politically correct open society, there is no such thing, and to suggest that there is might offend someone, namely the wrong.
Well.... as you may or may not know, this whole "Fear of Offending" plague is exactly why I started this blog to begin with! So, I thought I would take a moment to dedicate the following song to anyone who might subscribe to that politically correct bullshit up there.
Enjoy:
"Get Over It" by The Eagles
A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
They point their crooked little
fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it
You say you haven't been the same since
you had your little crash
But you might feel better if I gave you some cash
The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
You don't want to work, you want to live like a king
But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
Get over it, Get over it
It's like going to confession
every time I hear you speak
You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but I call it weak
You drag it around like a ball and chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Complain about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your inner child
and kick its little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it
:)Get over it
It's gotta stop sometime, so why don't you quit
Get over it, get over it

I LOVE that song!! I haven't heard in in ages, but it's the perfect commentary! I need to go download that to my ipod immediately! :)
Love it! That needs to be my theme song, I swear I sat get over it like 10 times a day.
wow- that's gotta be The Offended Blogger National Anthem- perfect!
Amen!
You are just the coolest thing on two legs, did ya know that?
This is one of my favorite blogs. I love this site. You aren't afraid to throw the punches. Well done and well said.
I'm offended! I kissed your ass, the best you could have done is post the picture with my kiss on your ass. My lipstick was pink!!! I'm a very jealous ass-kisser.
If you really wanted to offend people, you should post scantily clad pics of yourself.
Just a thought.
I find the term 'Eagles' offensive, when you could have you used the more inclusive phrase 'Birds of Prey'.
This terrible avian discrimination must stop!
So... tell us how you really feel, Chelle? :)
Heh, no, you're right, though. (Am I allowed to say that?) Only now I will have this song in my head all day.
Thanks oodles. :) I guess I should just be glad your themesong isn't "Take it easy."
Many, MANY moons ago when I was young, my buddies dad came home from a lost soccer game.
We played that song as he walked in the door.
He whooped us good.
I guess he was OFFENDED?
All I can say is amen
I'm sorry, as a card carrying member of the "Donkeys for a Better World Society" we'd prefer swapping out the word "ass" from that song and replacing it with "deriere". From all the Donkeys made to suffer around the world, we thank you in advance...
Your post brought a tear to my eye. I thought I was among a minority of people who felt this way, but I can see from your and your fans that I am not. Super blog. Keep up the good work.
HELL YAH Chelle, joke em if they can't take a fuck.
Bitchin'! I have never heard that song until now. Thank you.
This might have to be my new personal theme song. To sing in my office. Out Loud.
"I'd like to find your inner child
and kick its little ass"... definitely my favorite line... it's been a long time since I heard that one... great tune!
Aw it is so pleasant here, your tortured words wash over me and leave me with a warm glowing feeling like after eating several peaces of pizza.
I brought you the midol,now have a great weekend! :D
Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!

Remember, anything you say might highly offend someone... but hey, to hell with those sissy bastards, say it anyway!!
