While I am all for being kind to one another, the political correctness phenomenon drives me nuts. Political correctness can really get out of hand, and I actually have found that political correctness often needs political correctness itself, if you know what I mean.
Why just this morning while I was telling someone about there being too many loose nuts near Western State Hospital, I was unmercifully attacked orally for not being politically correct. Why are we losing free speech?
Scroll down to my photo below to get a clear picture of what I was trying to say when I said, “This is a case of too many loose nuts near Western State Hospital.”
For those readers caught up in political correctness & blind with rage please understand the lug nuts fell off the drivers side front tire. The wheel fell off landing on the sidewalk causing the car to block the intersection near Western State Hospital. No one was hurt or killed. Thats all I am talking about.

“Nuts!”…………….General McAuliffe at the Siege of Bastogne, Battle of the Bulge, WW2. A perfectly good word with several meanings, all legitimate, for a host of situations. There is no mistaking the meaning when used. Indeed loose nuts near Western State Hospital……and on the streets of Lakewood. The “word police” have a habit of redefining things down so they lose their sharp edges and stark meaning. Control the language and you control the debate.
What does every little nut want? A little bolt.
Hilarious Joe, thanks for the morning humor!
Its pretty obvious to us all that a witty person such as yourself wasn’t going for a cheap laugh with this pun. In fact I myself find the constant stream of vehicles losing tires in this area infuriating!
In case you were not following that was sarcasm. However (and pay close attention) I am owning what I said. If you don’t lije political correctness thats fine, but when you get called on it just say what it is dint try to make it better by acting like you were innocent of its intent.
Brenden, I think I can be of assistance in this matter. What Joe was trying to convey is that an earth unfriendly mode of transport was traversing when one of its hexagonal rotatable surface compression units extricated itself, such that the unfriendly mode of transport could no longer traverse. A member of the mutant albino genetic-recessive global minority, in this case Joe, witnessed what happened and made use of a device which collects images of happenings such as this, documented the event. As it were, the global geographical location of the event was near a structure which serves to assist mentally marginalized inhabitants and he correlated the hexagonal rotatable surface compression units to them. It turned out to be a cerebrally challenged correlation.
Clear as pea soup in a mud puddle on a foggy day! Thanks
Like I said in plain NON politically correct language was pretty simple. You’re trying to make it ridiculous with language that even the most sensitive of souks woukd ask you to use. Anyway I will make it real simple, you made a bad joke. Someone called you on it. Accept it move on. Or you could write an article try to show hiw you were making a pun and weren’t going for a cheap laugh. Euther path you choose is right. Oh, and Marty I never said he should or shouldnt have used the language he did I just said own it, when you say mentally marginalized inhabitants you prive the point it was a pun and not even a good one. Jokes arwnt normally funny when you have to explain
