There exist on this planet a class of people who will examine every sentence, phase or word, until they can find an interpretation that they find offensive. These people will then stand on a stump and proclaim to the world that they have been wronged.
The politically correct will spend their life catering to this group while insisting that the rest of the world be held to their high standard of empathy.
The rest of us know that PC is like trying to pick a turd up from the clean end, and just keep walking.

EDIT - Real opinion: Too many people want to pretend that E36 M3 was never bad. Too many people also want to pretend that E36 M3 is still bad. Is it perfect? Nope. But it's pretty solid. And yes - dancing around issues, being PC, etc. just hinders progress IMO.
Bingo. And if you understand that things were bad, and that they have vastly improved to the point where it's slowly becoming a non-issue, you get blasted by both sides. It gets old being the only reasonable person in the room at times.

Puritan philosophy left an entirely different mark. The puritans believed in divine pre-determination and that God had already decided who got into heaven and who didn't, and that there were signs of that based on fortune in life. They believed people who were more fortunate were chosen by God and therefore inherently better people.
Was just re-reading this zombie thread...man, that could explain A LOT.
