Thread: Here is What Political Correctness Has Brought Us

What's so bad about letting people be themselves and say what they want. That's where you'll find who they are. PC is BS.

Here is the difference to me. When someone says "you shouldn't say that" That's being polite. When someone says "you can't say that" That's PC. Make sense?

I have this bad habit of speaking my mind when I'm with my conservative friend's conservative bible thumping family. And I pay the price every time.

I take it from stuff like. Mel Gibson. He spoke his mind about Jews. Do i agree with him no. Should he have to go to a rehab for it? no. Was he pressured to. Yes. I just think PC is about not hurting peoples feelings. It's BS in my POV.

I agree. I just hate when people try to tell me that i can't say something because i might hurt someone's feelings. Or the hypocrisy about it. Like you can't make a joke concerning Muslims but Christianity is ok to say something about. I mean make the jokes but don't condemn me for saying something when you are doing the same thing. I mean there are places you can't say stuff. like forums, or school, stuff like that. But you know it when you go there.
