Answer 1

First off, what's political correctness? Name one politician who's ever been correct about anything. I guess it's OK to lie, cheat steal and commit adultery if that's being politically correct.

Answer 2

Yeah? I didn't understand a word of that.
A few years ago, a university in Britain objected to a student campaigner using Postman Pat on the basis that he was a sexist stereotype (it should, apparently, be Postperson Pat), while at the same time in a British court a male victim of a brutal gang rape at knifepoint in a public park was essentially laughed at and the case was dropped (because he was a man and should have been able to take care of himself). Same with the Ross Kemp case in which he was assaulted by his wife. The media just laughed, because he was a big strong guy. Woe betide if it had been the other way round though. My point is that there are serious issues out there which are deserving of consideration, and then there are people who will make an issue of the fact that homo sapiens is referred to as mankind, when PC dictates that it should be personkind. Water off a ducks back.

Answer 3

The term "political correct" is now a definition of complete liberal madness of stupifying proportions that contributes even more grossly to the inequalities it professes to erradicate. Further more, injustices are rampant and law and order is breaking down such as huge increases in crime and racism confusions and youth hooliganism all stretching from political correctness being the centre of government politics.
It is reversal of basic common sense with tragic consequences.
In the near future it will be politically incorrect to even be judgemental of political correctness and probably be imprisoned for it for longer than if someone commited a rape.

Answer 4

It wont stop for a while as its totally out of control. You cant say anything anymore without some idiot claiming that you have offended them, Soon or later it will go away like all other stupid fads.
One of my favorites is why is it OK for Blacks(I hate the term African Americans as it only serves to further divide, not to unify) to call other Blacks Niggaz, but it just about the most offensive thing any non Black can say?

Answer 5

Mate the political correctness thing is a way of restricting speech and debate and just generally giving peoples minds the thought of "oh I had better watch what I say". Thus reducing the chance of someone of speaking out against the consensus view point for fear of being labled an "extremist".

Personally I think the only way it will stop is people not being afraid to say what they think and not thinking about political correctness.

Answer 6

All things innocent have been perverted by the censor board. I never found anything wrong with any of them.

They wanted to ban Snow White because she alledgedly lived with 7 men...when i was a child the thought never entered my mind.

They wanted to ban Noddy because he kept hugging Big Ears....so what he was lovable.

They wanted to ban Little Red Riding Hood because it was too violent.....taught me you get what you deserve if you do wrong.

Lets just make things all rosie and our kids will never develop an imagination.

Watching all those programmes never harmed me or any of my generation.

Answer 7

p c are probably the two most infuriating words in the english language! our forebears fought for the right to free speech and to prevent our country being occupied,now look at it,full of economic immigrants being pandered to by the so called government and ruled by brussels.and before all you do gooders call me racist,yes i bloody am and with just cause.

Answer 8

I know - It is mad. My son loves Thomas the tank engine and the fat controller must be called Sir Topham Hat!! The child's only 2.5 he gets so confused! LOL

Answer 9

the franny and rick ex fanny and dick thing isn't political correctness its just that fanny and dick refer to parts of the body and are now considered to be mildly rude.

Answer 10

I doubt it will. Perhaps when the government falls off it's high horse and stops giving in to the foreigners in our country accusing us of racism because we forgot to say excuse me, or 'ohhh the sky is certainly black tonight'

Answer 11

It's all explained on the Personchester United FC website.
