We were in the family room the other day. The 13 year old turns on Cartoon Network. The 19 year old decides to bug her and asks why she's watching such a retarded cartoon (it was, btw). The 13 year old tells her to stop using bad words. Bad words? Retarded is a bad word? I told the 13 year old it wasn't a bad word, it was a descriptive word and it was accurate in this case. wth does this 'bad word' crap come from??.......

The point of political correctness is to be polite, and not offend the feelings of others. It really is an etiquette thing. Using words like "retard," keeps them in the common usage vocabulary. I wonder what your reaction to the word "retard" would be if your 13 year old was a Down Syndrome baby? This is a concept I would like to shove up your ass with a hot poker.

My 16 year old is ASD (autistic spectrum disorder) so get off your Down's Syndrome high horse shit. The cartoon was retarded, the word fit, get the fuck over your 'polite, don't offend'. Sarah Palin over-reacted to Raahhhm's 'fucking retard' snip too. I noticed you ignored this from my post "I don't go out of my way to offend but I call a spade a spade." You're an asshole. See how that works?
You want to shove a concept up my ass with a hot poker? Fuck you.
Your 16 year old makes your remarks in even more bad taste. The child should be taken from you, because you should know better. I write a lot of political threads, and this is the first time anything has pissed me off. I'd like to wring your neck.

I say political correctness is a very bad practice and it causes more problems than it "fixes". I believe the best policy is to call a spade a spade. It's truly defines it. It is well-understood by all and it cuts to the chase with no implied meanings. I challenge any of you to honestly say how political correctness has really been a help to the general population.

I should know better??? Did I call my kid retarded? My God you are so jello-brained. The cartoon was not only retarded, it was moronic. Uh oh, are you offended even more??? Great to live in a country where you can be.
People speaking their mind without a pc filter pisses you off?
btw, guessed you missed the hypocrisy of your own words . . . . "The point of political correctness is to be polite, and not offend the feelings of others." says the boy who wants to "This is a concept I would like to shove up your ass with a hot poker."

You're assumnig he meant to be offensive. Perhaps to him that is simply an alternative form of persuasion, one to be encouraged and accepted as no better or worse than any other, just...different.
Try to be more tolerant.

anybody who calls gays "perverts" and "deviants" is a HATEMONGER
anybody who calls liberals "LIBTURDS" is a HATEMONGER

If only we had been more tolerant of Native Americans, and had let women vote, then we may all get along with one another today.

An exec known as a friend to our family made the remark one day about my dad. "You know you have a better education than he did." I couldn't believe it, my dad graduated from the University of Illinois with a better GPA than I did, and is successful by any standard you would like to use. The exec explained to me that the atmosphere on campus six years ago when I went to school was more evolved than when my dad had gone to school. So, perhaps that explains the attitude of Zoom-boing.
I did learn that words can be impolite or hurt others, such as "retard." It demeans an individual who is disabled. And, repeating it just perpetuates a hurtful word in our vocabulary. In many cases people are failing contemporary litmus tests without even knowing it by repeating words like "retard." When it comes down to it, they will probably be labeled racist, and not even understand why. Racists are written off by most educated people as dinosaurs. Electorially, they are less and less significant.
When Zoom-boing acknowledges that developmental disabilities come close to his life, and he still uses the word "retard," he is advertising his ignorance. He needs to understand the old cliche that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. This explains my attitude to tea baggers and many conservative Republicans.
Just keep them out of the way, so we can build America's future. We voted them out, and they will stay out because their political influence decreases every day as our population shifts to a new demographic.

Disabled is so passe. And offensive. You mean phyisically or mentally challenged. Those are the current PC terms.
Which is a good example of why the PC language thing is self-defeating.
Years ago, the word crippled was used. That became a term of offense. So handicapped came into use, only to be found offensive in turn. Next up was disabled, now challenged.
The underlying condition has always been the same. Any descriptor will evenutally take on an uncomfortable connotation and a new term will be coined.

The words don't vanish from the language, they simply become unacceptable. (There's another one. Unacceptable.)
I wonder if lexicographers get pressure to keep certain words out of dictionaries for PC reasons.
