Politically Correct vs. Speaking Your Mind

In a recent interview, Jillian Michaels caught plenty of looks and comments when she stated she wants to adopt so she can keep her physique.  And that’s bad?  OMG!  She spoke about how she felt and decided to take another path to having children.  Why is it so wrong for people to say what’s on their mind?  Is her way of looking at things going to change your way, or start a revolution?  Did she threaten anyone in the process?  Or is what she said making you mad about your choices?

For one, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Jillian Michaels saying what she did.  She makes a living inspiring people to change their bodies through healthy eating and exercise and set them on a path of healthy living.  That’s her livelihood.  And if she doesn’t want to change her body in any way, such as having a child then she has that right, and should be able to say it without backlash from society.

We live in a world that has made rules and laws as to how we should act and what to say to avoid offending someone.  Face it, someone is always going to be offended.

I’ve always been blunt with people and say what I feel.  Many people hate me for it, and many love me for it, either way, I’ve always been true to myself.   I’d rather hear how someone feels about a particular subject then hear nothing at all because it’s politically incorrect. 

This is the speak your mind thread.  In the cyber world, people get away with more than they would if they were in a room full of people.  You can say anything; something you’ve been afraid to say, or know it’s not ‘socially accepted’ and post it here.  As long as it isn’t threatening someone, or vicious in nature let the words come through.

What do you feel strongly about, but never say?

What’s in the news that simply infuriates you?
Come on, tell us!!!!
