UQ for the win.

I love that my university and the people attending it are so politically incorrect. Tom's just declared a jihad on essays. I'm right there with you, man.

Being PC is stupid.

[flossums]

Of course it's stupid. That's why it's funny. Until some dude takes offense at a Danish cartoonist and starts threatening to kill people.

[animadverted]

You know at one point they were considering changing disabled to differently-abled. Now that's stupid.

[flossums]

And 'left-handed' to 'non-right-handed'. That one was really stupid. But I guess making comments about religion falls into a different category of PC.

[animadverted]

Haha, yes, that is really stupid. On the other hand, at least it's not a blatant lie!

[flossums]

Well, disabled is kinda differently-abled too. It's not a blatant lie either. Maybe. Like, they can still do stuff, just differently. And it has less negative connotations than disabled.

[animadverted]

How politically correct

[flossums]

I'm going into PR, duh. But seriously, 'disabled'. Not able. When they are able, just to a different degree. It deosn't take the inherent shittiness out of being in a wheelchair or whatever, but on an abstract level it's better to be 'differently abled', because then at least society grants you the right of being competent.

[animadverted]

Fair enough, I agree.

[flossums]

Whoa. Who are you and what have you done with Matthew?

[sly_cult_race]

Bahahahahahahaha.

Thats so....*uuugg*! It gets to the point of stupidity.
