I hate to say it, sharke (and you knoes I lurvs ya) but you spend entirely too much time letting the intertubes get you in a twist. The meatworld, although still entirely ridiculous, is significantly less ridiculous/shrill/hypersensitive than internet people (and the various bots that play internet people on TV).
 
Just sayin'.

Hmm well, I see exactly the same kinds of mindset in the big old outdoors as well. Mind you I live in the East Village

Politeness is authoritarian.  Why is everyone so concerned how OTHERS behave?  MYOB!

Strummy - in the interests of both Diversity and Inclusion, I fear you're discriminating against many other available dates.  March in particular finds itself relegated to the opposite side of the calendar and hence marginalised, as do the integers 3,4,5,6 and 0.  

After studying this in great detail and relying on the extensive research done on this subject matter, I can confidently state that April 1st (of any year) is the most used day for Political Correctness.   

Seems to be a tool for people who take themselves and their little opinions way too seriously.  
 
The transmitter doesn't know the hearts and minds of the 7 billion potential receivers in order to avoid offensive intelligence, while receivers are quite intimately experts and what uniquely offends themselves, so it only seems obvious the receivers should do the filtering. 
 
Being offended doesn't actually do anything anyway. Nothing happens. No one dies, gravity still works and Nickleback still makes sh*tty music. 

Voda La Void... and Nickleback still makes sh*tty music. 

Somebody, somewhere, is offended by that.  But not me, I think it was brilliant.

I don't even think Nickelback would be offended by that any more.
