sometimes i don't get political correctness. i mean, everyone knows that "special" actually means retarded anyway, so i cant see how it could be any less offensive. what happens when people start to feel insulted by being called "special"? do we invent another euphemism for that? do we just keep inventing and re inventing euphemisms until we cycle through all the possible ways to say the same thing and eventually end up calling it "retarded" again?
its cool how trends shift from one extreme to another. i remember in grade school we all used to measure how cool our pants were based on how wide the bottoms were. now everyone's wearing skinny jeans. if my grade school self saw the way people dressed now he'd probably think there was a sudden surge in the number of gay people.
