Gimme a break. What's the bigger issue, people being murdered or someone calling someone else a name?

In closing, dear Comrade of the Ministry of Political Correctness:
I'm pretty sure "filthy" is an acceptable term for a pirate and I'm sure it wouldn't hurt their feelings. They have bigger issues to deal with.
How is calling a guy a bigot because he called an entire country of people filthy the same thing as being in support of the pirates?

Calling some ONE a name is very different from calling a whole group a name and blaming the whole group by saying "Filthy SomaliS". Do you want people saying filthy Americans because of the actions some white Americans who raped a woman during a gang rape? You give me a break.

That got a laugh out of me. I'm the least politically correct person I know. I've had several posts removed by the moderators on this site because people complained I was be being too insensitive.
