CDZ Banning Political Correctness

[Bonzi]

Would it be possible to ban political correctness?

I mean, who decides what is politically correct and where the line is drawn anyway?
Are we to become robots, programmed to think a certain way? Is forcing yourself into a mold you don't fit into really for the "greater good"?

To answer your question all you need to do is read the constitution. Have you tried that yet?

Political correctness is just a more-accepted way of saying Orwellian Right Think.

While we should endeavor to not say things that cuase others harm, there's a line. Unfortunately where the line is is akin to defining pornography when 'we know it when see it' is the soft-rule.

I'm sure I studied it in school. I think the Bible is a more reliable source, since it is the Word of God. Men wrote the Constitution. I'm not denying it's the standards in this Country, but, that doesn't make them (necessarily) right....

No, the bible is the word of men. They claim to have been inspired by God, but the words are theirs. In this Country, the supreme law is the constitution.

So you would have no problem calling someone who is mentally challenged a retard?

Or using any of the other derogatory terms that are used about minorities?

You don't have any problem with spurious demeaning and derisory language?

Is that what you mean by banning political correctness?

No, it is not possible to ban political correctness without becoming politically correct onself.

One purpose of the First Amendment is to protect speech which one may find offensive or with which one disagrees. If one is a supporter of liberty, then one must respect the rights of PC Tards to spew their nonsense.

The best tactic, imo, is to Ridicule them.

po·lit·i·cal cor·rect·ness
noun

1. the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.

Why would you want an increase in forms of expression that exclude, marginalize or insult groups of people? I mean, I can understand why right wingers object since that pretty much eliminates much of what they have to say.

Would it be possible to ban political correctness?

Easy. Everybody speak their minds and be politically incorrect. Soon, there would be no such concept.

No we can't "ban" it. What's commonly called PC is the more extreme fringe of the social construct we all live under. The same one that tells us not to walk out on the street naked or act like a dick.

And if we were to try to "ban" it we'd have an impossible time trying to "define" it.

That's the ticket right there.

Umm... hope you're sitting down ... Men wrote both of those.

And I mean literally men, not women. Which explains a lot of what's in there.

Nah. Aren't their mental processes retarded in some way? Yes? Well then ...

Or using any of the other derogatory terms that are used about minorities?

There are no bad words. Only words badly used. You have no right not to be offended by free speech.

You don't have any problem with spurious demeaning and derisory language?

Not a bit. Speak your mind.

Is that what you mean by banning political correctness?

It would be a good re-start.

Fight against political correctness....... Listen to rap.

I figured we'd agree on something eventually.

It was meant to be "tongue in cheek" - seriously, it's just been taken too far....

Yikes, I'm glad you cleared that up.

No reason to stoop to the level of the PC Police. I'm not afraid of words or conversation. They're trying to control both.

Men wrote the constitution.
Men physically wrote the Bible, but, was inspired by God.

I do understand how people not enlightened to the truth see no difference, and, since I can't give you any proof here on this message board, we'll just have to agree to disagree there.
