<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pnightingale, post: 1244696, member: 32585&quot;]Good point. Symbolism changes over time, just like language and customs. Words which our fathers used daily would now get you fired. The US Government once had a program called &quot;Operation Wetback&quot; aimed at deporting illegal immigrants. They clearly saw nothing wrong with the term 60 years ago, but I doubt we will be seeing &quot;Wetback II&quot; any time soon. Similarly, what was once a socially accepted norm, having a quiet smoke, now puts you right up there with rapists and paedophiles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Times change. If as a result of that change people are offended then does it really cost that much to humor them? </p><p><br /></p><p>For my part I&#039;m not easily offended by much so I don&#039;t understand the fuss. I just go about life in my non-pc way trying to treat others as I would like to be treated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
