Political Correctness

[BrandNewRock05]

I saw this book on Fox News and I thought I would check it out

When you cannot say "craftsmanship" because it is sexist and you cannot have a story about mice because it frightens kids...the world is near its end

i think i agree with you, possibly for the first time ever... and possibly the last time ever

i understand blurring out tits and stuff, but when you take an entire story of a blind man climbing mt mckinley from a text book because it might offend other blind people is crazy

anyone ever read Sports Illustrated and see the column titled "This Week's Sign the Apocolypse is Upon Us"? this is the sign for this week.

i think the whole idea of "pc" is absolute bull shit, people need to settle down and not get so pissed about shit, although that idea made one hell of a movie..PCU

what is stupid? that we all hate pc or that it is taken so far to the extreme?

im thinking that he agrees. why do you always have to pick fights? and you know, the forum will live if every other post ISNT by you. no wonder your count is so high.

[BrandNewRock05]

wow! for someone who hates fighting those seem like fighting words. i was simply questioning what his statement was about, he didnt explain himself thouroughly and i was just making sure what he was talking about

Being non-racist, non-sexist, non-homophobic, etc. is one thing, but when politcal correctness becomes censorship, its gone too far-------

[WithStamin]

It seems that no one like political correctness... I don't understand how these left wingers can keep their posts while it's one of their main points.

I wouldn't say I hate political correctness per sey, just when it goes to far. People will always be ofended no matter what we say. We just need to acept it and move on.

correct. i have the right to call whoever i want a ***. i have the right to hate anyone i want AND verbalize it. however, you then have the right to think poorly of me because of this. like what the dixie chicks did, you have the right to say whatever you want, but you may see a bad recoil because of it, common sense

Here's a comic I found representing the usefulness of political correctness:

Exactly! You do have the right to hate who or whatever you want and verbalize it how you see fit. But if your going to do that, you can't expect not to get some feed back on it. It would be nice if some people in the general forum would realize this...
