Safe And Unsafe Lists

In this politically correct world one quickly learns who to praise and who to criticize, who to condemn and who to excuse, who to give to and who to take from and more... There is an order of perception in society today which reverses the older ones but which are equally unfair to all. I think the political correctness that started in Western Europe, spread to the U.S and the rest of the west, has now entrenched itself everywhere to the point that it matters greatly what race you are, what religion you hold, the brand of your economic status, which sex you are a member of and endless more pre defined "realities" of today.

But I wont speak about the world's political correctness sickness. Instead. I have an observation about one aspect of the unfairness that is all about us and which threatens both equal treatment and reasonableness. It is the "safe list" and "unsafe list" of persons and issues who we are told not to criticize on the first hand and on the other hand what who we are encouraged to kick as hard as possible. here is my short safe and unsafe list, about which you can agree or disagree.
