Q:Why is the Hot water faucet on the left and the Cold water faucet on the right?
ANSWER BELOW at end
PC Primer (this is quite long)
Q: WHAT IS P.C.?
PC stands for Politically Correct.
We of the Politically Correct philosophy believe in increasing a tolerance for a
DIVERSITY of cultures, race, gender, ideology and alternate lifestyles.
Political Correctness is the only social and morally acceptable outlook. Anyone
who disagrees with this philosophy is bigoted, biased, sexist, and/or
closed-minded.
Q: WHY SHOULD I BE PC?
Being PC is fun. Pcism is not just an attitude; it is a way of life! PC offers the satisfaction of knowing that you are undoing the social evils of centuries of oppression.
Q: I AM A WHITE MALE. CAN I STILL BE PC?
Sure. You just have to feel very guilty.
Q: WHY?
If you are a white male, your ancestors were responsible for practically every injustice in the world- slavery, war, genocide and plaid sports coats.
That means that YOU are partially
responsible for these atrocities.
Now it is time to balance the scales of justice for the descendants of those
individuals whose ancestors your ancestors pushed down.
Q: HOW?
It's simple. You've got to be careful what
you say, what you think, and what you do.
You just don't want to offend anyone.
Q: YOU MEAN I SHOULD GUARD AGAINST OFFENDING ANYONE?
That's right. Being offensive is destructive, and will not make the world a harmonious utopia, like in John Lennon's IMAGINE.
Q: HOW ELSE CAN I BE PC?
Oh, there are lots of ways. For example,
why buy regular ice cream when you can buy "Rain Forest Crunch?"
Separate all of your garbage into different containers: glass, metal, white
paper, blue paper, plastic, etc.
Make sure that all your make-up has not been tested on animals.
Try to find at least sixty ways to use your water; when you take a shower, brush
your teeth at the same time. Then don't let the water go down the drain, use it
to irrigate your lawn. Or better yet, replace your lawn with a vegetable
garden.
Don't use aerosol.
And by all means, don't burn or deface our flag. Remember, as a citizen of the
USA, you're living in God's country.
If you are fortunate enough to know your ethnic heritage, dress the part!
Don't do drugs. You should listen to at least one of the following PC musicians: U2, REM, Sinead O'Connor, Sting, or KD Lang.
Harass people who wear fur coats. Remind
them that an innocent baby seal was mercilessly clubbed. Or just yell, "FUR."
They hate that.
And don't EVER eat meat.
Q: DON'T EAT MEAT? WHY NOT?!
Cows are animals, just like humans are animals. That means that they have rights. When you eat meat, you're oppressing animals!
Q: SO ALL KILLING IS BAD?
No, not always. Sometimes killing can be justified, like in the Persian Gulf. You have to be able to tell when an animal has rights, and when it doesn't.
Q: HOW DO I KNOW WHEN AN ANIMAL HAS RIGHTS?
The general rule is as follows:
IF AN ANIMAL IS RARE, PRETTY, BIG, CUTE, FURRY, HUGGABLE, OR LOVABLE, THEN IT HAS RIGHTS.
Examine the following chart:
RIGHTS NO RIGHTS
cows cockroaches
cute bunnies flies
dolphins in tuna nets tuna in tuna nets
whales sharks
red squirrels gray squirrels
owls loggers
harbor seals barnacles
Q: WOW. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO BE PC?
Hug a tree.
Rejoice each day in our cultural differences, for they are what gives flavor to
our great country.
Get in touch with your sexual identity.
Check your refrigerator for Freon leaks.
Subscribe to National Geographic. Search it for neat non-Western cultural
traditions and costumes. After you read it, use the paper as an alternate fuel
source.
Q: I'M NOT SURE ABOUT ALL OF THIS.
If you are feeling unsure about your
motivation, just remember: YOU ARE RIGHT. It's that simple. You are right.
Q: HOW DO I KNOW IF AN ACTION IS UN-PC?
Good question.
It's important to know when someone is saying something insensitive so that you
can have that person removed from society.
The guideline is as follows:
Is the confrontation between two white people?
Yes -> The liberal is right.
No -> The white person is oppressing the ethnic person.
Remember, many seemingly obvious issues, such as the railroading of Mayor Marion Barry, the Clarence Thomas issue, and the Saint Mary's University Caribbean Society shut down are really race issues.
Here's a fun practice drill for you:
See how many newspaper articles you can make into race bias stories. It's fun!
Some Pcers are so good they can make the weather report look like a KKK
pamphlet!
Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I SEE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING NON-PC?
It all depends on the situation. If you are
not in a position of authority, by all means report this activity immediately to
whoever is in charge.
If your school leader, employer, or superior is hip to the trend of PC, she or
he will take the necessary steps to have the insensitive offender disciplined.
Q: BUT ISN'T THAT CENSORSHIP?
The Constitution never meant for racism,
sexism and insensitivity to be espoused by anyone. That's not what free speech
is about.
Some call it censorship.
Pcers call it "selective" speech. Saying something negative about a particular
race or gender is just as damaging as, say, punching them in the face. We just
can't allow that kind of verbal assault.
Q: I'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT PC WORDS TO REPLACE "BLACK," "INDIAN." ETC.
Yes. That's part of the PC movement.
You see, part of the way we think about people comes directly from the words we use to describe them. Take "black" for instance. Why should a person be judged by the color of their skin?
Q: YOU MEAN THEY SHOULD RATHER BE JUDGED BY THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER?
No, I mean they should be judged by where their ancestors are from. If your great grandparents are from Africa, or Asia, or wherever, then you should be identified by that fact. You can even apply for special scholarships!
Q: I'M A MIXTURE OF FRENCH, GERMAN, ENGLISH, AND RUSSIAN. CAN I GET ONE?
No, there are none offered to white males.
However, if you are a women ...oops... womyn, there should be plenty.
Q HEY, WOULDN'T A WHITE PERSON FROM LIBYA OR EGYPT TECHNICALLY BE AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN?
Technically, yes. But that's not the kind of African-American we mean.
That is, we're REALLY talking about skin color, but we're pretending that we aren't. Another example: A white South-African immigrant is not an African-American either.
Q: HOW CAN I LEARN TO MAKE MY LANGUAGE MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT?
For more help, see the PC LEXICON at the end of the handbook.
Q: I'D LIKE MY CHILD TO BE PC. WHAT CAN I DO?
Well, for one thing, we should forcibly
encourage students to volunteer their time with philanthropies.
Also, we should re-emphasize non-Western perspectives on history. Finally, we
should restructure tests and quizzes to reflect cultural biases.
Q: I DON'T GET IT.
Well, the way the system works now; "select"
under-represented minorities who tend to do worse on entrance tests have lower
standards of admissions at school and work and receive preferential treatment.
This is unfair and wrong.
Q: IT IS?
Yes. The truly PC way to do it is to have a
different grading scale for different groups which gives or subtracts points
from the final score, depending on who is taking the test.
If you are white, then you have been benefited by society during your life.
That means that you lose ten to fifteen points to make the test fair to everyone
else.
Q: I GUESS THAT SOUNDS RIGHT.
It IS right. That's the beauty of PC.
Q: WHAT ELSE DO I HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF?
Humor. PC people take every comment VERY
seriously.
We will not accept any comment, joke, remark, or anything that sounds like it
could be a racial slur.
Q: GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE.
"What's black and white and red all over?"
Has been staple humor for decades.
Not PC---it can be taken the wrong way.
In every day speech, try to use phrases
like, "Isn't that the pot calling the kettle African-American."
Any racial jokes or jokes even mentioning culture or gender should be omitted.
True, this mostly limits comedy to the level of sitcoms, but that's the price
you pay for social equality.
Q: IS THAT ALL THERE IS TO IT?
Yes. The Politically Correct belief is
essentially recognition that people are diversely equal.
We rejoice in this equality by treating people differently based on their equal
individuality.
Hop aboard the bandwagon... Be PC.
Or you're an intolerant, racist, sexist insensitive pig.

Training exercises
During training exercises, the lieutenant who was driving down a muddy back road encountered another car stuck in the mud with a red-faced colonel at the wheel.
"Your jeep stuck, sir?" Asked the lieutenant as he pulled alongside.
"Nope," replied the colonel, coming over and handing him the keys,” Yours is."

Q:Why is the Hot water faucet on the left and the Cold water faucet on the right?
A: Back in the days when there was no hot water faucet they had only cold water faucets. Which was on the right side since most folks were/are right handed?
So when plumbing was introduced it made sense to put the hot water faucet on the
left, keeping the traditional cold water faucet on the right. Now you know.
