<p>Point concurred with.</p>
<p>Yes. Yes they do.</p>
<p>it's all the soccer moms who have nothing better to do with their time between making pb&j sandwiches and rounding up the mini-football team they've managed to create because they can't keep their legs closed and think that contraception is the devil. face it... all they do all day it b*tch about things that may not be completely pc.</p>
<p>bitter, party of one.</p>
<p>yes, they definitely do!</p>
<p>Not to turn this into another endless political debate, but...</p>
<p>Ever notice how it's always liberals?</p>
<p>Do not kiss me, kate.</p>
<p>And Fides: what's worse, taking respect for others too far, or having none to begin with?</p>
<p>I do not agree with political correctness, but honestly. Take your arch-conservative Catholicism elsewhere.</p>

I don't think that's true...conservatives make a big deal out of un-PC things too...remember the John Kerry "if you don't get educated, you wind up in Iraq" thing? The conservatives went crazy.</p>

<p>That joke was botched so horribly that if a conservative had said it the liberals would have gone equally crazy.</p>
<p>True, but that doesn't change the fact that Fides is wrong and it's obviously not "always liberals" who complain about things being un-PC...</p>
<p>yes they do.</p>
<p>"And Fides: what's worse, taking respect for others too far, or having none to begin with?"</p>
<p>When the doctrine of having respect for others limits the freedoms of people to think and say what they wish, I would say that it is worse than having no respect for others. What's worse: fake respect or authentic, from-the-heart disrespect? I think the former. </p>
<p>Political correctness is all about thought and speech-control. It's the way that secular liberals evangelize their views and positions -- make them the only socially-acceptable norm. People are then scared of dissenting from them publicly, out of fear of being branded "intolerant" or "backward."</p>
<p>I can see the rationale in using PC in political or highly publicized occasions, simply because when you generalize about a whole demographic, like say Black people, and say that they are all gangsters and smoke pot, that's going to **** off those blacks that worked hard throughout their life, went to great colleges, have contributed to society, and have a highly respectable job. Generalizations like that are wrong in public/publicized situations. But when you're talking in the context of a smaller environment, for instance a troubled inner-city neighborhood or a situation where one minority DOES influence events radically, then PC is just useless because it's inefficient and it slows down decision-making and doing anything useful in general. and as to the Kerry thing, i know im goign to get flamed like a ***** for this, but the trend he alluded to in his speech, intentional or otherwise, is one that i have noticed in my high school. Of course i don't doubt their patriotism, which I admire greatly, but still, i don't think what he said was completely unfounded.</p>
<p>Real example of stupid, in my opinion, PC is with Twain's books. Why should Mark Twain be banned from school just because he used word nigger?</p>
<p>"Ever notice how it's always liberals?"</p>
<p>You are a complete joke. Both sides play that card all the time. To say just one is the culprit...well that just shows how much of a blind partisan you are.</p>
<p>Why do you even bother to debate politics? You're about as partisan as the Hammer. Possibly worse.</p>
<p>Funny, I only ever see you complain about someone being partisan when they're coming from the right.</p>

<p>And you from the left. That makes you equal in my eyes.</p>
<p>Funny. I guess you haven't seen my posts against AA. Nor do you know my views concerning gun rights (pro), smoking rights(pro), capitol punishment (pro), and fair trade (pro).</p>
