What Is It You Think You Can't Do Because of Political Correctness?

[martybegan]

The bible was used to justify slavery, segregation and anti miscegenation laws, but they weren't bigots either...just religious right?

Just like the constituion, the bible can be mis-interpreted by those who seek to use it for political gain. On homosexuality, however, all three Monotheistic religions are VERY clear on it. Its wrong. There is no clear cut direction to follow ANY of those three you mentioned in the bible. There is ACCEPTANCE of slavery, but it is not mandated in any way.

Ah...those bigots misinterpreted the bible, but anti gay bigots have it right.

Again, the bible is very specific on homosexual acts being sinful. Are you denying that homosexual acts are sinful based on the holy texts of the three major monotheistic religions?

 

[NYcarbineer]

You're kidding right?

You can't even criticize the policies of our current president because you're labeled a racist. Even though your policy disagreements have nothing to do with race.

Have you stopped criticizing the president?

What do you want to say that you are prevented from saying because of Political Correctness.

I just don't care if some idiot calls me a racist, but those PC tactics stop or slow down many people that care what others think or fear how they will be labeled. You're a fool if you think this isn't happening.

You mean like Cracker Barrel backing off?

When you're living your life according to a book that was written hundreds or thousands of years ago,

and that book's instructions reflect the mores of the times in which it was written,

to justify adhering to that book assumes that the book got nothing wrong.

That adherence assumes that all social progress ended at the moment that book was finished.

And that assumes that everything is relative.

One, who the fuck are you to tell anyone how to live thier lives? Two, it does not assume the book got nothing wrong, they were written by mortals, even if divinely inspired. Three, your last point is just stupid.

Because it limits what people can say, and has led to an era of punishment, hounding, and ridicule for those who are not so PC.. while any sort of ridicule of the PC crowd is considered non-PC

Suck it up and drive on, Nancy.. we are becoming a society of wimps and pussies thanks to PC bullshit

For generations, weren't gays restricted by political correctness from identifying who they are? They couldn't say things in public, couldn't show affection in public.

If they did, they were fired, denied housing, beaten or killed

PC at its worst

So you favor vengence as a viable political motive?

For years I was oppressed as a nerd in grade school, so naturally I should now be able to give wedgies to those who gave them to me, now that nerd culture is acceptable and we have all grown up.

You really are a moron.

Your love life is not political.. sorry.. even though the homosexuals want it that way

And so.. you are calling a 'tit for tat' approach.. instead of one that is an air of free speech for all, no matter if someone is subjectively 'offended' or not.. got it

Do I think you should be attacked for saying whitey or someone else attacked for saying fag?? Nope.. suck it up and drive on Nancy.. you do not have a right NOT to be offended

But they CAN tell people how to live their lives when it goes against their subjective PC standard.. but you cannot do the same

So gays getting jobs and renting homes is some sort of inappropriate 'revenge'?

I hope everyone else here enjoys how idiotic your post was as I did.

 

[Katzndogz]

What? What are you being prevented from saying that you want to say and is it PC that's preventing it or just common decency?

You have no right to decency.. as shown if you try and stop gays from parading around mostly nude in a public parade

Or if we try to make you put your shirt back on at the beach.

We all know that the beach is the same place as Main Street. The beach being exactly the same as say, a business district needs the same kind of logic that makes the claim that men are women and need to have access to female only areas like restrooms, locker rooms and dressing rooms.

We have equality of place! That means the office is the same as a gay bathhouse.

 

[Seawytch]

Only certain ones.. that are not offensive to you pc types.. call someone a redneck, nothing will happen.. call someone ghetto trash, and watch your ass get walked out the door...

It is not OK to insult or call names against those IN your PC crowd... but it is OK to do so against the while guy living in rural areas, the straight guy, the guy who earns more money, etc etc etc

The PC movement has been one of the DUMBEST things during my lifetime.. as I said.. bringing us a generation of wimps and pussies... and actually giving them the power when they are 'offended'...

Fuck PC

Are there people offended by the term "redneck"? If they are, they need to say so.

What do you want to say to someone that you are prevented from saying because of PC?

No.. they do not need to 'say so'... (and it is SUBJECTIVE just like only certain ones can say N*GG*R).. we need to stop this PC bullshit in thinking everyone must be protected from WORDS and TERMS..

I am prevented from all sorts of speech at work, whether it be humorous, whether it be in frustration or anger, or whatever else.. BECAUSE of your subjective PC standards that are being pushed now... I can be hounded for using an offensive term in a writing or book I write, thanks to your PC types.. PC has led to a culture of preventing free speech, simply because it offends within a SUBJECTIVE set of criteria

No.. I would rather have free speech.. rather than having someone keep adding more crap to the PC blob

How is redneck subjective like the n word...because you can say it about yourself and someone else can't say it?

If someone says something you find offensive you aren't supposed to just ignore it...that's certainly not the essence of free speech.

What rightwinger was implying is that those who think homosexuality is wrong now have to keep thier traps shut or face consequences, just like gays used to faced when homosexuality wasnt publically acceptable. He thinks this is a good thing.

Try some reading comprehension for once you dime store hack.

 

[Seawytch]

You're kidding right?

You can't even criticize the policies of our current president because you're labeled a racist. Even though your policy disagreements have nothing to do with race.

Have you stopped criticizing the president?

What do you want to say that you are prevented from saying because of Political Correctness.

Did you ever stop criticizing President Bush? Of course not, because he is white and your ilk can say all the bad things about whites with impunity.

But any criticism of President Obama's disastrous policies would automatically condemn one as a RACIST.

So PC hasn't stopped you from criticizing the President as I suspected. Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[paperview]

It seems to me what upsets cons the most here is it bugs them they can't call people *******, fags and bull dykes as easily as they used to.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

There has been a lot of discussion about "Political Correctness" recently so I'd like to know what it is that you all feel political correctness is preventing you from doing. It has even been suggested that Political Correctness had done more harm than bigotry itself.

Somebody please explain how PC is "ruining our society" and what you think you can't do because of it.

It used to be called being polite and decent to people. Now that we have a bit bigger number of haters in our society, its called PC.

Actually, my guess is that we've always had people who believed they have the right to force their beliefs on others. People who would happily take the rights of others away.

Love your avatar. Goes nicely with mine. That the haters must really hate it makes it that much better. ooops, not very PC of me to say that.

No.. being able to witch hunt based on terms or names you consider 'offensive' and punish people for it is... kinda like slavery being wrong, you suddenly don't make the correction one where the former slaves can now own the former masters

 

[martybegan]

No, what upsets me is that if I voice my opposition to affirmative action, gay marriage by judical fiat, or anti-constituional gun contol i get LUMPED IN with the people that use the words ******, fag, and bull dyke.

 

[editec]

Yep

But I cannot use sexually offensive terms... anti-PC, if you will.. or I can be fired ON THE SPOT... you can call someone a jerk, you can even call them white... you call someone a fag or use the a term for like 'black' when describing a co-worker, and LOOK OUT FOR THE FALLOUT

So you believe political correctness is preventing you from calling your co-workers names? Really?

Only certain ones.. that are not offensive to you pc types.. call someone a redneck, nothing will happen.. call someone ghetto trash, and watch your ass get walked out the door...

It is not OK to insult or call names against those IN your PC crowd... but it is OK to do so against the while guy living in rural areas, the straight guy, the guy who earns more money, etc etc etc

Fuck PC

There is no SINGLE OFFICIAL POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Each group has its own version of what can or cannot be said.


But for those of you who are complaining that nearly anything can be said to insult WHITE MALES and NOBODY ever gets called on it?

Well yes, sadly that appears to be a VALID COMPLAINT.


Here's how I deal with my self proclaimed enligtened (yet obviously racist AND sexist) liberal chums when they pull that shit.

I call em on it.

I call them what they are...sexist and racists. (and then they are always shocked because by their perverted world view they Cannot POSSIBLE BE SEXIST OR RACIST)

Yeah that's right, its not ONLY the right that has decided its okay to be sexist and racist.

So called liberals and radicals *(usually women but also some idiot men) play that game alt the time.


They truly expect WHTITE MALES to apologise for being so, AND they expect us to sit down and TAKE IT when they insult us based on gender or race.

The hypocricy of the left is extremely OBVIOUS to those of us who ARE white males and leaning left.

Yep... precisely.. a term that is only offensive when someone else uses it.. absolute rubbish

You are not required to ignore it.. you can say something right back within your own right to free speech.. you do not get to squash shit on only your mamby pamby PC standard
