Thread: Common courtesy doesn't equal political correctness or does it ?

"I think you are missing the point. There were plenty of things that could have been done to prevent Hasan from acting as he did. It's not as if there were no warnings.

BTW, it was Hasan who proposed removing all the Muslims from the military, not me."

Perhaps it didn't come thru, but what I meant to say isn't that there may have been warnings that were ignored, possibly for all the wrong reasons as you suggest. What I am saying is that too many folks are drawing inferences and conclusions before all the facts are known. If it turns out warnings were ignored because of PC-then that needs to be addressed/fixed. But from what I've heard so far, investigations were undertaken in relation to the concerns that were raised at the time, but were dismissed. Let's take a look at why, and if mistakes were made, correct them.
btw--where does the info come from when you wrote "it was Hasan who proposed removing all the Muslims from the military"? hadn't seen this before

No worries. Thanks for the consideration.

I wonder, if this thread was started 50, or 100 years ago, would people say 'these days kids have no respect . . . '

Funny, maybe common courtesy has evolved like everything else. I would hope I could give the old timers a run for their money in terms of courtesy, but who knows.

It's all about perception.
