Re: political correctness
Or, as was suggested, the response you got had more to do with the persona you adopt on this board and the reaction it provokes in people than with Political Correctness. My "persona," whatever that is, is totally irrelevant to the comment about veterans.

Re: minding your own business
The injunction "not to judge others" is largely a Christian one and naturally therefore refers to butting into matters which are properly a concern only between a person and his God and is nobody else's business. There are 2 injunctions not to judge. One is Christian and the other is a part of political correctness. They are different from each other. "Minding your own business" might apply to the Christian view. I'm not sure. A Christian might address that point. I don't think it applies to the view of PC.

Oops, even the most even-tempered of them all, Sir Robin of Rohan, loses his temper sometimes. Alas. Well, welcome to the hell invented by PC. Well, I mean really. Do you read what this person was accusing me of because I felt sorry for some Vets at the VA hospital?

i don't think he is saying what you are claiming, imo from his post he sees the fact that a person who feels empathy for a lost limb is not really very useful or meaningful to the person they have empathy for No, I'm neither useful nor meaningful. What's your point? I never said I was. I was talking about my feelings. I was talking about the fact that life does not always consist of baby birds and flowers.

Admittedly I am not immune to being incivil, but I am willing to reexamine what I've put down. And to consider the appropriateness. The problem is, you don't seem to have any basic knowledge about life. You are claiming that because I did not do anything about the people I felt sorry for, that I am engaging in some despicable act because I felt sorry for them. Goodness gracious--turn on the news. I feel sorry for people every day that have some horrible thing happen to them. Am I supposed to do something about all those people? You also seem to be claiming that feeling sorry for them is a despicable act in itself, an idea which I think is warped.

I should have said the emotion is not very useful or meaningful not the person, the person can do more than pity the disabled, talk to the person for instance, who ever said it was always full of baby birds and flowers? I was responding to Jar's nonsense.
the people who posted about how happy in the world they are focused on the happy things in life, you from your posts, did not, that seems to be the difference That's right. I was trying to balance the idea. I was trying to present a realistic picture of life. You got a problem with that?

Re: On adding a touch of reality.
And exactly which jars nonsense was that? All those pictures of birds and flowers that you stuck up there. We were talking about that other thread in which I mentioned the old veterans I saw at the hospital. Everybody jumped all over me for my feelings which were politically incorrect. I was using that example to illustrate the engrained nature of this politically correct morality which tries to dictate people's feelings. We're supposed to go around having nice, politically correct feelings all the time. What a pretense!
