Okay....really? Have you heard the latest in terms of America being overly pc? The city of Pittsburgh has to remove decals on its buses because when read backwards could be seen as offensive? The words "Ziggin and Zaggin".

I wonder if this is the same America that advocates for free speech when it comes to the avid short men bashing that it does, especially over Twitter. You know, tweets such as "Short men are losers!" and "Short men must die"? Yea, those should be allowed but offensive words such as Zaggin need to be removed from our lexicon because of the group it could offend? The funny thing is, the same person who complained about this decal, probably bashes short men on Twitter citing her free speech.
I wonder what would happen to someone if they posted say "All black people are losers" or "All gay people should die!" over Twitter as they do to short men? Hmmm...what would the consequences be? They'd lose their jobs more than likely and be branded as social pariah! Yet, same hateful language directed at short men bears no consequences does it? So...hateful ideas are still allowed and prevalent here in "tolerant" America as long as there are no repercussions?
But a word when spelled backwards has to be removed? Unreal!
