Political Correctness is the concept that speech should not offend its listeners. However, challenges to any concept, ideology, moral, or view often cause offense. Offense is usually a matter of position and opionion. Even diplomacy varies from mind to mind. Offense is often necessary for progress.

To enforce Political Correctness is to forbid opposing opinions. To forbid oppossing opions is to dictate speech. To dictate speech is to dictate society. To dictate society is to strive against Democracy.

Is not Political Correctness, really, Political Control?

In dying, he couldn't really be hurt as God/son of God. And if there's a heaven, he was just going home. So why do people give him credit for doing something that he would have wanted to do anyway?

I just asked this question, but I think the title I used threw people off. So, here it is again. Thanks for your help:

Is islam peaceful?
Someone showed me this book called Prophet of Doom which apparently reveals a lot of sick stuff in the the islamic scriptures.
However, someone else told me that the guy made the stuff up. Now, the book is around a 1000 pages long. I find it difficult to believe he made it up.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone (specifically muslims) had any take on this.
Also, can anyone verify/discount what he quotes?

e.g. http://prophetofdoom.net/quotes.aspx?g=405&i=4528

This question was not asked to offend, but to learn. Please no hateful replies and try to keep replies to 35 lines (and readily available sources are a plus).

Thanks so much

Sometimes I feel like I would have been better off living a long time ago before technology. I was just wondering if anyone else shares the same feelings as me. To me life is too fast paced nowadays and people dont take time to LIVE! Alot of you probably think I'm strange, weird or just a freak but thats OK, I'm just curious.

I have to say that I'm just a aggravated as the next guy when I see someone driving badly because they are paying more attention to their Cell phone conversation than they are to their driving. HOWEVER, I do not like laws that try to regulate this. I have seen that they have even come up with studies that talking on a hands free is dangerous. What about talking to the person next to you. Will they make that illegal? If they are going to do this then they need to make it illegal to eat while driving, they need to make it illegal to change your CD or radio station while driving. Even if they make a law that all a driver can do while driving is drive, then how do you enforce a law to stop them from daydreaming? If someone is driving bad it's called careless driving. There is already a law for that. A bad driver is a bad driver and a good driver is a good driver. There is no reason to step on others' driving freedoms, if it's not going to help anyway. What do you think?

Can't they live their life on their own and not need this crutch to get through life?

I believ ein a higher power than me and that he exists. I live life by the rules.

I dont lie, I dont steal, I wish good on everyone and help anyone that needs the help. I basically live a good life and treat myself and others great.

The other day a christian guy at work said im going to hell then he said that every human being that ever lived on earth will go to hell unless they believed in jesus...lol....funny heh

Christianity is an extremist religion that has no respect and tolerance for anyone. How do they know they are following the right relgion? Remember there are more muslims in the world than christians. But according to christian extremist WE ARE ALL GOING TO BURN IN HELL

If i was to give my opinion I would say christians are going to hell for believeing that a GOD was put on a cross and that a living God has a son. I think thats rediculoous but I dont throw it in their faces. I just wish christians would be more tolerant and not so hateful

I know I'm going to get slated for asking...... Yes, women wear trousers and dark colours, but I'd like a polite "debate" on what makes a man wear pink, primrose etc. coloured shirts. Do their women buy them or do they actually buy them themselves?

Death. It happens to everyone, and someday it will happen to me. I fear this greatly. I do belive in god, but I wouldn't call myself a complete christian, although I do go to church sometimes and learn about the lord christ. I am an honest person, I stay out of trouble and try to treat everyone nice. But alot lately, Death has been on my mind. I do not want to die ever, but I know the time will come. And sometimes for me it's like watching a clock count backwards. It almost seems like torture to me. I am afraid of how I will die, and what will happen to me after I die. Will it hurt? Will, (after I die,) It will turn into the way it was when I wasnt born. Nothingness, and stay that way forever? And if that's the case what is the perpose of being here? To me, it's horrible that we have to die. And even more horrible to know that anyone can take life away from you and not care. Is it ok to fear death? Is it natural to think about it daily? To me, the fear of death is a horrible torture
