Is this world becoming too politicaly correct?

Gok, if you know of any links to original fairy tales before they were "Disney-ised" I would love to read them, I hear that Sleeping Beauty is a bit nastier than one is lead to believe...

The Brothers Grimm are responsible for a lot of what regard as "Disneyfication" of fairy tales.

While they originally collected folk tales from around Germany, as their books became more popular later editions were edited to soften some of the more negative themes.

Find an early edition of their collected folk tales and you should get a fairly reliable version of what the 'originals' were like. Before the Brothers Grimm of course, few people recorded the stories as they were part of an oral tradition.

Anyone ever seen the animé "Ah! My Goddess"? A cute take on Norse mythology (re: Three Fates).

I have no time for this PC garbage. Grandfathers being questioned by police for playing with their grandchildren in a park; all males automatically being suspected of child abuse just because they live there (brothers, fathers, etc); people's individual choice to be offended has somehow turned into an obligation on others to protect people from their own feelings; new words for illnesses/disorders every couple of years; the Tiger Woods character assassination; etc

As soon as people start taking responsibility for themselves, rather than externalising EVERYTHING, the better this world will be.

I been saying that for years. Far too many people are thin skinned.
