I think mass killing are defined as 3 people or more.  And I think we 
beat it both of the last two years.

I've been with my wife for like 30 years, and many many years ago, when 
we were just young and more-or-less just a'courtin' we went to some 
bohemian media-types party (we fit that bill back then) and it was in 
Toronto or some shithole like that and some officious methodist on the 
door with a tie says "and who are you?" and my sweet lady says "We're 
mass murderers. Where are the most people?" and I love her dearly.

[She claims she doesn't remember saying that, nor knowing its 
provenance, but what the hey, toujours gai and all that and yeah it's 
Boxing Day here in Canukistan and I'm gettin' through the leftover wine

"Common knowledge" is often wrong. It's "common knowledge" in the UK 
that authorities there decided to rename the Christmas holidays 
"Winterval." They didn't. One council decided to use the term for a 
marketing campaign for a range of events, holiday and non-holiday, 
secular and non-secular, that took place during one winter. Thanks to 
the collusion of the media (one tabloid ran 44 stories about it, then 
years later bury a three-sentence correction), this is now cited by many 
as proof of "political correctness" about the holidays.

Snopes.com is full of urban legends everybody "knows" to be true that 
aren't.

And I didn't ask for a list. I asked the OP to back up three specific 
claims he made:

1) "There are schools here in New Zealand that refuse to keep score of 
sports because that would mean one team / player is then the 'loser,'
and that's a 'politically correct' no-no."

2) "They also give out awards certificates to EVERY kid, making the 
certificate pointless."

3) "You also are not allowed to say "disabled person" because that means 
the perosn [sic] is seen as disabled first."

He refuses to provide anything but his say-so, and the unsupported word 
of a Usenet poster isn't worth the pixels used to form it.

That is common around here at the grade-school level, not just in
schools but also in leagues. It doesn't start to change until about
10-11 year-olds.

That is certainly the case at the school where my wife teaches. When
they do awards (twice a year!) every child is supposed to get an award
for something. My wife ignores this.

> 3) "You also are not allowed to say "disabled person" because that means

That is also true here. In fact, saying disabled will get you into
trouble. If you keep it up, you could easily get suspended over it.

So asking for facts instead of right-wing talking points is agitprop?

I'm not sure where you fell off the horse. I'm think my metaphor is 
more apt for killfiling noise, not which noise is the gooder or the 
worser.

I have a hearing impairment, but I'm not deaf.  I guess that one could
say I'm hard of hearing, but that term is vague.  So "{insert
disability} impairment" does make sense.  Also, it indicates the kind
of disability, whereas saying "disabled" doesn't give any indication of
that.  Also an impairment might not be as serious as "disabled" can
mean.

Sure you are. Say it as much as you like. If the purported candidate of 
your speech informs you they aren't disabled or aren't a person, then 
you should moderate your speech to avoid offending them, but you can 
also say "fuck you, I say whateverr I like". See: you've got choices at 
every pass.

No you don't.

Seems you keep yourself from saying WAY too much. Relax!

Someone snipped off the start ... the point was that was just an
example of how the "politically correct" morons insist you are supposed
say things that way.

Yeah, like saying "abortion is murder" or calling birth control
abortion, or "preserving the sanctity of marriage" or "traditional
marriage" means "oppression and bigotry directed against gays", right?

That changes nothing. The only political activity I note, is people 
reciting the myth of an invisible army that constricts their use of 
speech. By-and-large, it is a political invention to recite how the 
(implied liberal) PC Police are persecuting you for using acceptable 
speech like "disabled" "merry Christmas" and a boat load of other 
nonsense.

Of course calling people "cripples", "fatsos", "jigaboos" and 
"wetbacks" will get you some pushback. Soldiers for Fox should expect 
to encounter political pushback for their political ploys.  They can 
call this anti-PC or they can call it what it is, agitprop.
