Or is another feel good thing that just puts a veneer over the problem?

It's turned a lot of people into self-righteous hypocrites who love pointing their fingers at people who hold different beliefs -- which is exactly what they say they are opposed to.

Veneer over the problem, and makes the really extreme cases look ridiculous. It's given us some great jokes.

No..I don't think it has done anything, but mess up schools, public speakings, and fairy tales..personally I think its all stupid..if I want to call someone in a wheelchair Handicap, or cripple..that is my own choice to make..I could really care less what the rest of society is doing..its that whole freedom of speech thing that keeps getting the lid put on it.... Its all just silly...

It has just covered up the problems and made them worse. The cure? Watch Chapelle Show and mind of Mencia. Those are the types of things that real people think about, even if they're only half serious about it.

I'm so disgusted how certain actors in politics, well a lot of them actually, are so concerned with using PC that they won't even diagnose the problem. I think there are times where you don't have to be so PC and be straightforward to the world.

It's a screwed up term looking to supplant common decency. With a view to political leveraging. Opportunism also comes to mind as a mode of deportment under one roof.

Yes it has. It has produced a society of hypocrites. If you don't like a certain religious group, race, sub-culture.....oooooohhhh, can't say anything. We might hurt somebody's feelings. Waahh, waaahhh, waaahhhh. Everybody has to pretend to like and tolerate everybody else. It's unrealistic. People need to get over it and toughen up. Not everybody is going to like you. Deal with it.

It has taught us to not speak our true feelings. Does anyone really want to be political? I love living here in my country but by god let there be one guy I have elected stand up and speak their mind and piss some people off!!!!!

Personally I think that it has made the english language rediculous. I also think it lends to placation of just about everything.
Problems can't be solved if people are afraid to talk about them openly.

I think its a cleaver way to manipulate born from the pits of hell.
