What Is Your Opinion Of Political Correctness?

Here is my opinion......

Political Correctness - is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    My opinion of political correctness is that it has created a hypersensitive cry baby culture.

    Everyone is a victim, just ask them.

    Political correctness has certainly been ingesting away at our way of existence now for it slow and that i think that the situation is in simple terms set to worsen. as quickly as back we Brits are suffering because of the fact we proceed to be over well mannered and overly embarrassed approximately taking a stand to shield our middle values. A blackboard is a blackboard seeing this is a blackboard why call it the rest? How can that attainable be offencive to all of us i don't get annoyed whilst bread or flour or fish is spoke of as white. Britain would desire to proceed to be british and whilst I welcome new citizens from everywhere interior the international we would desire to shield our identity and out historic past so if that is traditionally English or Welsh or Scottish then even with what this is termed or what it celebrates it is going to proceed to be. Britain become as quickly as called "great" can it nevertheless be seen so? this is an entire new question yet what made us great aside from our empire? i think of it become our very Britishness and banning British traditions no count if that is chasing a cheese down a hill or the nativity play interior the close by college in basic terms serves to erode our identity extra. we are regrettably in lots of strategies a declining united states, is this as a results of extensive decision of decrease than the table political correctness?confident i think of this is or a least political correctness has performed a significant area is defining us as a rustic on the instant.

    It's not neccesarily promoted by the Unscrupulous media, as the media can be biased in a certain way... for example some newspapers are left wing, whilst others are right wing...

    Political correctness is only bad when my political opponents use it.

    When people who support my own political opinions use it, it's great!

    Example: It's wrong to attack Sarah Palin's kids, but it's ok to call Michelle Obama a "wookie" and a "gorilla." That's because Michelle Obama is a liberal, and so it's ok to attack her.

    Only liberals are capable of misusing the concept of political correctness. When conservatives insist on political correctness, they're doing the right thing.

    If I say Sarah Palin is dumb, that seems to be ok, but if I say Obama is dumb, which he is, then I am somehow degrading him for being black. When you are not able to express you opinions due to PC, then they just fester within you.

    You mean like Sarah Palin and the Family Guy episode? My opinion is that when political correctness soothes the ego of a Reichtwinger, then it's acceptable. When it slaps the hand of a Reichtwinger, then it's the worst thing under the sun.

    PC is the opposite of "intelligence".

    The fundamental act of INTELLIGENCE is the ability to DISCRIMINATE between 2 or more choices, and then choose the BEST SOLUTION.

    Being "PC" FORCES people to ACT STUPID by pretending that ALL choices are equal, when they are not.

    Our companies are LESS productive because of being PC.

    Our workforce is LESS productive becauese of being PC.

    Our Law Enforcement is less effective (ergo, our streets are more dangerous) because of being PC.

    PC is by any and all account.... the OPPOSITE of intelligent behavior.
