Every Day is Judgment Day!

Another cool one. Interesting philosophy. Shalom.

I hope that I've not hurt your feelings,

If so - please don't hold a grudge!

The intent was to probe and to question,

And really - Who Are You To Judge??

Such a wonderful read and apt ending. Voted up as always Leslie my dear friend.

Eddy.

You said it, not me! (and I'm jealous.) Thumbs up sister.

Leslie, you ought to email this poem to Obama!

"BRAVO"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

many blessings

Visions of '1984' floated through my head after reading rcrumple's comment. George Orwell got it right. He just messed up the date.

Leslie - I wish I'd have seen this hub earlier. I've been thinking that only I wanted to end this political correctness bs. It's sad when society makes laws to replace common courtesy and politeness teachings. I'm just waiting on the day when we'll all be wearing unisex outfits authorized by the government to keep from offending anyone. It's sad, it's sick and it's total bs. One hell of a poem! I'm on your side!

Greetings ImKarn -

Have just "Liked" this piece on Facebook for my friends to learn something. Am also known as "Yorky" by some, and have been to Wales on holiday, so, sheep - best not go there! lol

"SHEEPLE" ! Love it. Sums things up rather well. Must be a word we can derive from "Lemmings" too......

Oh, of course, condemning is like wiping something off the planet. And really, I will not easily do that. Only in some cases, if I could. So I accept 'rejecting' with gratitude. Thank you, Leslie! You've hit the nail on its head - ".... rejecting something is not necessarily condemning it."

Amen to that! Political Correctness too often is simply just another measure used much like the race card....if you cannot defend the situation or win the arguement....play the race card. God gave us a brain though far too few use it and the ability to reason on the basis of fact with a dash of common sense and good old life experience yet too many folks today fall victim to that old line from the television series, "Dallas" in which J.R. Ewing, caught in bed with one of his women by his wife Sue Ellen, raises up on the pillow and asks, "Now Sue Ellen, honey, who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?" Nuff said! Good Write! ~WB

Baaaaa! Baaa!! "Are we like sheep?" she sang! Right on point as always!!!

'Tis a rare breath of fresh air that blows through these stale, over compliant, sheeple that produce persistently pointless pile of pap. Bravo. Love the verse and the wonderful point you make here so eloquently, I must add.

Thank you for saying what it is and doing it with the poignancy (spelled right?) of verse. Love it and we won't forget it. Great photo too!

Gees, Karn, you have 15 million tons of comments here. That's hot.

This is an awesome poem. You are my kind of person! Sharing!

Hi Leslie

"Policing every turn of phrase,

Am I alone in saying it's nuts?

These days to call a spade a spade,

Takes nothing short of guts!"

Amen! Up with speaking are minds freely with our own words. Down

with political correctness.

Voted up across the board.

Take care :)

Picadilly -- with all respect, embracing "informed choices" for you but "judgment" for God reminds me of the guy who says that in his household HE makes the really important decisions like whether the family will endorse Obama's health care plans or whether the family will approve of US foreign policy in Syria, while his wife deals with the minor matters such as whether they should sell the house or which college the kids should attend.

If some brute raped my child or tortured my spouse or burned my house down or stole all my assets, would I "judge" him? Damn right I would!

Great Hub Leslie!

You? Stirring the pot? Say it ain't so! Ha-ha. Excellent point though, ImKarn, excellent point.

Sorry about your screen. Hope it's alright.

wow youa re so right who are we to judge? I love your poem girlfriend.. and smooches to you

HaHa, I love this! Being politically correct is ' plum ' dangerous these days. I try not to be judgemental, but when i see a five hundred pound woman on a scooter, i tend to think that she surely eats too much. lol

Yes, the world seems to be turning into a world of followers who fancy themselves leaders. I sometimes feel like the lone voice who dares to question company policy and point out inconsistencies. I don't do this to cause trouble; I just want people to think for themselves and not follow blindly. It seldom works. Even if someone does agree with me, they will only acknowledge it in secret.

I used to rage about this but now, with years behind me, I'm more philosophical.

Btw, I grew up in the ghettos and if you called a spade a spade in my neighbourhood, you ran for your life. ;)

This is so true and so cool it was a very awesome read ! And no you did not hurt my feelings because i agree !

Vote up and more !!! SHARING !

Excellent perspective!

Of course we have to evaluate everything and all in order to make significant decisions. Life is all about decisions. Judging means condemning or accepting. How can we live without doing this? But then, in the process, we should still love our fellowman like we love ourselves. Live and let live. With love we can judge and simply avoid what is bad, and we can even move bad to a place where it can exist without harming us. (As we do with the weed we dig out of our garden - it go to the heap where it turns into useful nourishment ~ wish we could do this with criminals.)

Just blame this long comment of mine on your profound and thought-provoking poem. Voted up to the top :)

Thank you! That so needed to be said. I would have but feared the public thumb SCREW!

HERE HERE! PC p***es me off. Even have to use the **s! WELL SAID.

You tell 'em Leslie. You remind me of Annie Get Your Gun. Twirl them pistols and come out blazing. Voted up all the way.

True enough said,

Interesting.

I'm good, but honestly, who doesn't judge?

LOL...Priceless and to the point ...yet another ork of art babe !

Touche! We've been taught not to judge, but it's human nature to judge! You've given every reason why it's ok!

And you, over there, with your drawers droopin' down to you knees. If I wanted to see your damned underwear, I'd invite you to my bed! Until then, cover your ass and your Wal-Mart plaid boxers!

Nice one, Leslie! "Even garbage men have a new name!" Boy, have we gotten that sensitive? It's amazing how we have to walk on egg shells in today's society. Glad to hear you're not afraid to crack a few to make a valid point. :) This one is certainly worth sharing!

You said it, ImKarn23! We all make value judgments, and the PC crowd are quite judgmental of anyone not following their PC rules. I agree it's about appearances. I sometimes think political correctness is a substitute for respect, not a guarantee of it. And it's applied so unevenly - some groups can be insulted freely but others are sacrosanct. Gimme a break - it's fake!

Straight to the point! Becoming informed and verbalizing our thoughts seems to be offensive to many.Oh well, I will probably never stop. Vote up!

Wow Missy L. you wasted no time....Bravo for you!!!!

You are fun with the way you play with words and get your point across. To judge by the dictionary's standard is to make an informed opinion, to make a decision is exercising one's right to choice after considering all the possibilities...so both are pretty much the same!!! To be Curious over Judgmental though....ah here the judgmental word has the tendency to rally harsh thoughts, invoked with criticism, and negative connotations towards people or life events.

Yes, I agree everyone has the right to informed choices…that is one of our freedoms in life, but in the same context I believe it is not my place to be judgmental, I leave that up to God, the Light of the Universe. I am not privy to every detail of life He is, and heaven knows I for one am not a good or even close match for His job…thank you Lord!

Great Hub, I expected nothing less from you….love you Missy P.!

I can always count on you to set the record straight. There is a reason I like you so much and this poem pretty much summarizes that reason. Shoot from the hip and best of luck getting out of the way of Leslie's bullets. Great job my friend!

love it.!

Funny and interesting look at PC gone wild!
