What most people call "politically correct" nowadays was called "respect" or
"manners" when I grew up..



I understand the concept of respect, but a lot of garbage gets the
"PC" label, rather than face the truth. Right after 9/11 some idiot
newscaster was talking about "Not saying anything to offend the
terrorists". I wanted to puke. On the other hand, respect is a two way
street, and respect is earned, not mandated. I had the owner's son of a
company I worked for get in my face and yell that he "Demanded my
respect!". He had stolen new hand tools out of my toolbox, and in
general he couldn't be trusted. I told him that you don't demand
respect, that you have to earn it every day.
