*all those long, winding, endless languid musings on general dissatisfaction and disagreement with liberal platitudes in general. such as, reward everyone equally even if they don't do equal amounts of work.
Look. Women and racial minorities, yes, I absolutely agree, deserve and demand equal rights and fair treatment. I'm in both camps, of course I think women and racial minorities should be treated equally and respectfully, parallel to treatment of whites and men.
However, that is where my political correctness ends. Everyone else is fair game. Everyone.
Okay, white women, or black men, or black women. but what if someone from some trailer park is born and afflicted with some mental disease that does not allow them to work at the same pace and produce the results at the same rate as Asian women? what if someone is a member of a very strict religious sect that disallows them from using protractors-- but this person is an engineer? what if someone is afflicted with some heart condition that causes them to wheeze and spew and lose their breath if they think too hard? what if some die-hard environmentalist is hell-bent on the belief that working hard destroys the environment? well, fat cookies.
People of different race and/or either sex, yes absolutely should be allowed. excluding people of different race or sex is discrimination. it is racism, plain and simple.
But then the excuses started. the so-called disabilities started springing up like superweeds everywhere, personally tailored to whatever convenience was fitting at the moment. to addressing-slash-inventing whatever neurosis would smooth a situation over for a person. (would do a little favor )
•I have attention deficit disorder.
•My peanut allergy prevents me from working too hard. or else my skin implodes. my skin overheats and melts.
•I have dyslexia.
•I have a medical condition that states that I am unable to concentrate too hard, and also I have a very short attention span. therefore you, my educators, employers, and supervisors MUST not hold me to the same standards as everyone else. you know, because it is a medical issue, it's not my fault.
mommy and daddy didn't pay enough attention to me.
•These drugs magically flew into my bedroom while I was sleeping at night and surreptitiously nested themselves into my circulatory system while I was scrupulously diligently studying for my political science exams.
•I grew up in the ghetto and therefore I do not know a lot of these vocabulary words. the SATs discriminate against me.
•I have a medical condition that causes me to fall asleep any time I am bored.
•I have a right to express myself and I have the freedom and the choice to not work hard and/or to try to reach the same goals to which shallow people aspire who want to be validated by superficial thinks like college degrees and work [[quarterly goals]]] and if you deny my that right then you are denying my right to freedom of expression and freedom of speech and you are preventing me from being a strong capable person in charge of my own life.
•My allergies cause me a lot of stress and therefore I am unable to work as hard as other people.
•I am fat and therefore have slow metabolism, therefore it's hard for me to keep up the pace and quality of work that everyone else can handle. it's not my fault.
Look at this parody news story from Bogus News Network, "Not a Single 'F' Student Has Ever Been Accepted at Harvard University." A lot of people will probably read this and say, "ohmigosh that is like so totally untrue."
Please do not play dumb and pretend you have no idea what I'm talking about simply because you have not heard the exact quotes I supplied above. just because you have not seen these exact same examples that I used, does not mean you are clueless to what I'm talking about.
