Politically incorrect
August 5, 2015 at 1:56 am
What would you consider to be the most politically incorrect statement to make in our society today?
I am honestly drawing a blank, which should give you a clue as to how evolved I am.

What are you trying to do, get people banned? Just imagine posting the most offensive thing one could possibly state. What do you think would be the results of doing such a thing?

Suggesting anything bad might have some connection to Islam.

I think there's a difference between outright "offensive" and politically incorrect.
I feel like for something to be politically incorrect it has to have some truth to it people don't want to hear - saying Islam is misogynistic and homophobic is politically incorrect, but it's damn true and people won't hear it. "Political correctness" is a lie or small untruth that has been told so as to not offend.
Then there's just offensive, like KKK white supremacist views that have zero basis in fact. They're not politically incorrect because they're not truth. It's not politically correct either by any means, but "politically incorrect" doesn't describe it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

That's my best attempt. Feel free to copy and paste this on your profile if you want to get banned from a website ever.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

You are quite mistaken about its meaning:

There is no requirement that the politically incorrect thing have any truth to it at all.

I recently speculated Satan sat directly on Jesus face and Jesus (hungrily) gulped Satan's feces from Satan's hole.
I know, I'm a tough act to follow.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Can't we all just get along?
