'Mother,' 'Father' Changing to 'Parent One,' 'Parent Two' on Passport Applications

[Aramike]

Like bigotry?

Mookie, I think you could use a little help in defining bigotry, as it certainly isn't terminology on a document that identifies a child's parents as "mother" and "father", unless you think that nature really screwed up on that one.

To be honest, I don't see this change as an issue. But it IS yet another example of the minority's imposition of political correctness through obfuscation and dilution of meaning for the sole purpose of avoiding unintentional insult to those who find offense in the traditions of the majority.

So, yet again, we decide to bow to such petty demands rather than insisting that those whiney, self-important, easily-offended individuals grow thicker skin.

Why is it that we insist on changing how the MAJORITY percieves the world rather than insisting the the minority try to simply UNDERSTAND that most of us have different values?
