Political Correctness
June 25, 2015 at 6:44 pm
So political correctness is pretty common in day to day life. It is sometimes a good thing. However, It has become quite strict. For example you can't criticise a religion because it is politically incorrect, stuff like that. Now, do you think that political correctness has become too strict and is somewhat of an annoying thing?
Humanity's downfall is a trust in a God that isn't there.

For the most part, I think PC is bullshit. Offense is taken, not given, IMO.

I think political correctness is pure bullshit. If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen. If you do weird shit that's fine, but when it actually extends into affecting other folks expect to be called out on it.

PC is dumbing down our society. Wait, want to change that to making us a more intellectually special society.

I don't think the majority of Catholics are child fuckers as most in the world don't even go to church regularly and the expression "Orthodox commie" is self-explanatory in its contradiction.
I think PC goes both ways - It can be bad when it is used to sensor people or make opinions seem less valid because they're less popular or not nice, but it is also used by people to justify racism, sexism and all that shit.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

Before Mitt was nominated last election cycle, Gov. Huckabee didn't have much trouble calling LDS a cult. After Mitt picked up the nod, SUDDENLY being an LDSer was OK to the governor.
PCism might be intermittent in it's inception and application . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I know they aren't Dystopia, but if I was to say it I'd probably get done for slander. Now if a Catholic called you a satanist thats cool since "Weligius Fwwwedduuuum" is PC.
I really was not calling the Catholics child fuckers...Hell, you see? I'm even having to cover my ass now just in case.
