Is Political Correctness a symptom of low self esteem?

Reporting, deleting & blocking behavior on this forum tells me that there are a lot of people out there who are quite fragile...sorry about your self esteem issues. Please take this opportunity to offer answers that insult, belittle or criticize ol' "uncle meat". Perhaps this will help bolster that anemic ego. I promise that I will only laugh...no self esteem issues here.

    Political correctness is an absolute moral code forced upon everyone by liberals who otherwise dont believe there is such a thing as moral absolutes and certainly would not agree that they should be apply to everyone. Typical liberal double standard. Go figure

    yes it seems so

    sports for kids every one wins,no child left behind ,no one allowed to fail no matter what grade you get

    RULE 1

    Life is not fair - get used to it.

    RULE 2

    The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world

    will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel

    good about yourself.

    RULE 3

    You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out

    of high school. You won't be a vice president with

    car phone, until you earn both.

    RULE 4

    If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a

    boss. He doesn't have tenure.

    RULE 5

    Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your

    grandparents had a different word for burger flipping

    they

    called it Opportunity.

    RULE 6

    If you mess up,it's not your parents' fault, so don't

    whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

    RULE 7

    Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as

    they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,

    cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about

    how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest

    from the parasites of your parent's generation, try

    delousing the closet in your own room.

    RULE 8

    Your school may have done away with winners and losers,

    but life has not. In some schools they have abolished

    failing grades and they'll give you as many times as

    you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the

    slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

    RULE 9

    Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get

    summers off and very few employers are interested in

    helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

    RULE 10

    Television is NOT real life. In real life people

    actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

    RULE 11

    Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for

    one.

    I think you're right. People are becoming more fragile. They've lost the ability to laugh at themselves and take any sort of perceived criticisms. That's why Political Correctness was developed so no one insults anyone else. Its really gotten out of hand. But I notice there is no PC word or phrase for 'rich' or 'christian'. I guess its all right to offend them. Good luck to you

    it somewhat is not low vanity....i think of it somewhat is definitely super that your asserting that. it potential your continually protecting your chin up for the amazing time. maximum women i recognize in basic terms supply up and say there is no one which will love me....yet i think of your a particular one which won't supply up. and that i admire you an excellent deal for that. plus i recognize ppl continually say which you will discover somebody and that i guess your bored with listening to that by using now. so i will in basic terms say save your eyes open.....do no longer shun out those your despise. you may finally end up loveing them

    so-called political correctness is just a way to wimp out of calling a spade a spade.
