What do you think of Political Correctness?

Question

Do you agree with "Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep"?
Not being allowed to say "Merry Christmas!" Instad its "Happy Holidays!" heres also various Nursery Rhymes that had to be changed.
Even considered the Milky Bar Kid to be black!

Are there any that you think are ridiculous?

Answer 1

Not much.

It is one of the most silly and useless things people came up with in modern times.
It was invented for the wrong reasons, is used (and abused) by the wrong people and mostly for the wrong reasons, and it has not done anything positive to improve our society.

If it was up to me, I would abolish it today and let people live their lives in a normal and natural way, as it should be and has been for thousands of years.

Answer 2

I think it depends on what party you're registered with as to whether you are correct; and then again, who determines what's right for Republicans as opposed to other parties? If I had to bet, I'd say it's all up to your perception, personal beliefs, and what side of bed you got up on . . . or how do we difine "IF" our own elected leaders cannot tell the truth? I feel they're all ridiculous & should be said in front of mirrors, not thru the media, and we are all blessed with Freedom of Speech, just watch your tone & body language, since we're all under surveillance 24/7. I enjoy every color of the rainbow and life would be very boring if it were all black or white, wouldn't it? Sorry, didn't mean to play devils' advocate & pose another question--but definitely worth thinnking abou-- just not worth protesting our democracy over terminology but another excuse to disagree among ourselves so we don't see the real tragedy of war--DEATH!

Answer 3

you're making a great factor. could I counter? Political correctness could by no skill be enforced via a central authority. besides the undeniable fact that, government workers could play via distinctive rules. I actual have became human beings in who labored on the BMV for mistreating Hispanic customers. do they could desire to love Latinos? No. have they have been given the final to maintain their interest for needless to say treating human beings of distinctive backgrounds in any different case? No, lower back. I strongly help loose speech, even for those i come across despicable. yet do no longer assume me to admire you in case you continuously use disrepectful language.

Answer 4

I think it's retarded, how could a little rhyme about a kindly sheep which goes around giving people wool be considered racist? Why should we care if it is? That kind of racism should be considered a throwback to less educated times, like "You know, black people used to be considered inferior! hahaha! How silly and primitive we were back then!"

Answer 5

Political Correctness is the death of free speech.

What it truly does is, stop us from saying what we think. Free speech does not mean we have the right not to be offended. Free speech ensures us that we will be. Political correctness is a cancer, it infests public opinion and blinds us from the truth.

Answer 6

Political Correctness is just another word for a Socialistic Society.

Answer 7

Pure HOG CRAP !!
You get a few SQUEAKY WHEELS with money and the LIBERALS line up to kiss their hemorrhoids.
P.C. is the cheapest form of DICTATORSHIP .
Just because you like or dislike something , you have no right to force others to change to suit your view point .
If you are a Vegetarian,fine, just don't try to take the steak off my plate.
LIBERALS preach diversity, but , it has to be APPROVED diversity.
Which is no diversity at all .

Answer 8

Political Correctness started out with good intentions.
As No1 wants 2 offend & no1 wants 2 B offended, but it beggars belief that age old right/wrong has BEEN DUMBED DOWN.

Since I found out Prison Guards R no longer allowed 2 refer 2 Prisoners AS Prisoners!
They don't like Detainees, either!
Wonder what we're going 2 call the LOW-LIFE, CRIMINALS, DETAINED AT HER MAJESTIES PLEASURE, THEN?
How about STUPID, CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES, USELESS & MIS-UNDERSTOOD?
OR SCUM, 4 short!

Answer 9

Bananas having to be straight

Brussel sprouts being called sprouts cos they don`t all come from Brussels

Piggy Banks have to be changed cos it might offend muslims

Give us a break

Who are the majority who think we cant fly our english flag incase we offend other nationalities. I`d like to tell them what I think of their PC nonsense

Answer 10

I think some of it is ridiculous.. especially when people start living their entire lives by the context of these rules.
