Debate Now Why Is Being "Politically Correct" A Bad Thing To Some People?

[Asclepias]

We've been thru this before-----you know full well what I mean when I use a politically incorrect word. There is no barrier to communication other than you being a self righteous asshole.

You're pretending you can read minds again. It may be your opinion that that someone understands what you are saying when you use a politically incorrect term but the reality is you dont know at all.

Of course there is a barrier to communication. In the example provided there would cease to be any communication.

you know what a midget is right ?

Can you tell me what I understand when you say the word midget?

I just asked you------do you know what one is or don't you ? This is very simple

Well if you just asked me then that means you have no idea what I understand when you use the term midget. Does that make sense to you now?

 

[dilloduck]

no because you didnt answer me. Do you know what a midget is ? If the were a group of people and I asked you to pick out the midget could you ?

 

[Asclepias]

no because you didnt answer me. Do you know what a midget is ? If the were a group of people and I asked you to pick out the midget could you ?

So because I didnt answer you then you have no idea what I understand when you use a politically incorrect term as you claimed earlier. Does that help you a little now?

Classic.......You know full well what a midget is and won't admit it. That my friend is an impediment to communication.

Youre pretending you can read my mind again because you cant accept reality. Our definitions of what a midget is and the emotional impact of that word are probably very different. In fact the odds against it being the same are astronomically high.

Semantic hell. Of course everyone has there own unique perception of things but I bet if there were 3 people standing in a row and I said I'll give you $100 bucks if you can pick out the midget you would do it in a heart beat.

So if everyone has their own unique perception of things then how would you know what they are thinking when you say midget?

BTW you would need to offer way more than $100.

I would? How do you know that? Your assuming $100 is a lot to me which it isnt. See your perception of things is nothing like mine. Youre really bad about pretending you know things.

Oh lord. I assume you might be willing to try to achieve a goal by communicating but if you refuse to play naturally the goal cannot be reached

What do you mean naturally? Do you mean as you view the world? You do realize your usage of "naturally" implies a subjective view dont you?

 

[dilloduck]

We're walking down the street and I say " I'll give you $100 bucks if you can point out the midget to me " .

How will you respond ?
