Political Correctness Gone Too Far! or Not Far Enough?

Political Correctness defines a war between Free Speech and Hate Speech Political Correctness: The avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against. Where there is freedom and power there should also be empathy, respect, responsibility, understanding and discipline because freedom and power without empathy, respect, responsibility, understanding and discipline is nothing but hate filled dog eat dog, lord of the files anarchy. Subjugation of the many by the few. Society must create rules that allows it to coexist peacefully towards a common goal or else society will turn on itself, cannibalize itself and implode. My granny use to say, if you do not have anything good to say then better not say anything, sometimes that is the best course of action. However in this case, I take the word "good" to mean Produc...

Humanity and InHumanity, is one and the same

Migrant bodies floating on an ocean One of the main difference between some people I know and myself, is that they still have hope in humanity, still believe in humanity and still have faith in humanity. They still believe that Humanity can change and they can help change Humanity. Even after all their years on this planet and after going through centuries of human history. I am shocked that some people still believe that human beings are going to change, be more loving, more caring, more peaceful and coexist in harmony. I am still wondering why, which planet have you been living on? Yes we can find good decent individuals but as a people we are destined for more of the same, more mass violence and a vicious cycle of self-destruction. How can people still believe and my question to you is, what are you seeing that I am not seeing? I am very happy for you to tell me that I am blind and not looking deeper and for you to show me the error of my ways. Make me see a light at the e...

I will never pretend to completely understand human nature or what makes us behave so differently. I will never understand why man commit murders, rape, climb Mount Everest, travel to the moon, run into a burning building to rescue a child or cut out a man’s heart and eat it live on camera. What would make the Hutus slaughter the Tutsis in Rwanda where 500,000 people were killed in the first 100 days of conflict and an estimated 1,000,000 in total murdered or the Germans to slaughter six million Jews and start a war that resulted in over 56,125,262 people killed? But what I do know is that most children live what they learn. I know that how children are raised and socialized contributes to the type of person they will become and I know it will define their value system. Who we are today is as a result of what we learnt as children, the schools we go to, the people we know and the environment we grew up in. Who we are today also depends on the expectations from the people aroun...
