Political correctness is just another word for politeness. You do know this right? Last time I checked, politeness was a good thing. I'm all for politeness but people take it too far these days.

If you say so. I for one do "say so" because I feel that some people are over sensitive to the point of infringing, or at least impinging on my own individual self expression. It's none of my business what you think of me. Sticks and stones can break my bones and all that... Sheesh... George Orwell here we come !

It's referring to something in an incorrect way so as to make it SEEM like it's "polite", or even better than it actually is. It's a crock. It's being afraid of the truth.

PC is for the idiots and narrow minded. Not to be confused with being polite.

who decides what is or isn't politically correct anyway? No matter what is said or done isn't there always going to someone that is going to going to be offended?
