I mean seriously, isn\'t that what our First Amendment protects? Why do we have to always watch what we say because we might \"offend\" someone?
I am a firm believer in those that are easily offended, aren\'t offended enough.
What are your thoughts?
I share your insight as well. Political correctness was devised by the left to put a facade on the truth. It is politically incorrect to say the truth as the truth. It has to be dressed up or not mentioned at all. Its ridiculous.
just another part of the sissification of America.The sensitive new age liberal needs something to shield themselves from raw ,brutal truth that they are inherently incapable of handling.
So if you walk up to a kid with Down's Syndrome and call him a retard, or a kid in a wheelchair and call him a crip because that's how you really feel, that's OK?
Got it. It's only unacceptable if you're doing it to be mean. If you're doing it because that's how you feel, then it's OK.
Welcome to the world of the loony Right.
That's an intelligent (and copied) response. Yes...that's what I'm saying. I think we should just pick on retarded and disabled kids. Maybe I'll start with all the Down's people I know (to include a cousin) and a couple of my friends who happen to be paraplegics. If you and others who give "retarded" examples like this think this is what others are saying, then there is NO way to explain it to you. It's pointless to even engage in conversation about it.
I do understand where the need to be Politically Correct may come in. BUT at the same time, it is also important to LIMIT it.
I think it is there because some people want to take it too far and call all Muslim terrorists or call all Latino people illegal immigrants.
But at the same time, if a Muslim terrorists does a terrorist attack, I do not see the harm in letting people know it was a Muslim who did it. I am not ashamed of letting people know it was a Muslim who blew this up or did that or this. Just like I am not afraid of saying African American communities are most crime ridden. Those are FACTS. Cannot be disputed. But when people go out of line to just give a Muslim a hard time who is simply here and living their life, that is wrong.
You get my drift?
slurs and slanders are a whole different animal than being politically incorrect.

If you cant guess whats wrong with PC, start using the N word in public, as often as you want. Then start calling jewish people the K word. See how people respond to you.
Doesnt take a genious to figure out what will happen. Sad that some people want to 'bring back the old days' where that was expectable.
YOUR TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT THING! No one is saying this. Why the hell don't people understand this? And it's G-E-N-I-U-S.
PC has has gone way overboard. You can't say blind, it is now sight challenged, not deaf, hearing challenged, not short vertically challenged. Get a life. And why is it always if you don't use one of the new PC phrases you are accused of hatred?
