if one has the cash to spend it's up to the individual to determine if that is what they want, need, is it a priority, to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

I’m just a simple man trying to be myself. I’m not too sure I can live up to your high standards on how to be an *******. I do accept you as an ******* and I appreciate you for it. May I ask you.. what joy does this forum give you? I know it’s free and all but other than that?
I’m referring to the original poster friend.
not you.
I should have made that clear.
sorry
Will a Gillette NEW SC suffice as a comparison?

Animosity is nothing new. Either is heated discussion. Its through those types of debates between passionate parties that manage to get things understood and accepted for the greater good. All of that is moot without mature and reasoned discussion however. Letting emotion take over where reason should reside is rarely the best choice. Online or anywhere else.
"Because I like it" is the only reason I need to accept anyones choice in anything, no matter the monetary value attached to whatever it may be.
Who says that political correctness "went out with the 2010s?" Not me. I find it good and fulfilling to be politically correct, respectful of others, etc. No political correctness often verges on racism, cruelty, and rudeness.
Sadly PC culture is still good and well. It's hard telling people the truth. Words hurt and you are a *insert .....ist word here* for disagreeing.
Political Correctness is so 2010s
If I repeat it enough, it will come true.
Some groups think they can define politically correct for everyone. Even asking where someone is from is considered "micro-aggression."
When I go to the hospital, they have signs in the halls that say something like "Aggressiveness will not be tolerated. The hospital will punish aggressive behavior to the full extent of the law." There is a municipal code under it. Who gets to define aggressiveness?
They do, and the bar too low for us old people who are used to "old country" speech where emotions are the leading edge of communication. We were TAUGHT to put emotion in our voices.
It is good and fulfilling to be courteous and respectful. Politically correct goes way beyond that to a standard that is impossible to achieve.
I'll not be held to an impossible standard is all I'm saying.
So many people dont understand this. There was a recent occurrence of that very thing that shook Canada and instantly put an end to a Canadian icon, Don Cherry. He admitted after the fact that he should have worded things differently. He meant no insult and was speaking as he always had. He made an emotional plea and it went sideways. Emotion ruled the entire spectacle.
Being polite is nice.
Political correctness is a disease that ends with cultural suicide

I have to agree with this. Nowadays you can not talk without offending someone or hurting someone's feelings. Growing up getting your feelings hurt was part of life. Not everyone made sports teams. And 1-3 were the only ones who got trophies and awards. If you were not good enough it made you want to try harder. You didn't complain because you lost. If you kept loosing eventually you would get tired of loosing and get better.
I hate to say it but colleges are helping to train kids to think like this. My niece is in college and she came over for help on a homework assignment. The assignment was to show toxic masculinity in magazines. ***. Really. I was appalled. This is what kids are learning in college. Well at least in California.

Those pushing the micro-agression agenda are looking to stifle free speech.
To turn the conversation to PC is a grievance play over the world at large. The reason this thread is so hot is because the OP wsa trollish and the end point will just spin away with all the heat generated. Some other fora that have experience with trolls adopt the mantra "Don't feed the Trolls"
I'm sick of all this PC GARBAGE.
MAGA!
MAGA!
PC culture is just another way to limit our freedom of speech/expression. PC is censorship.
The thread is now officially derailed everyone is now talking about political correctness or lack of it. I predicted it'd be derailed when I mentioned the free speech shtick. This is a classic of way of deflecting!
You all who are not talking about aggression, safe-spaces, and political correctness are Schmucks
