To an extent political correctness forces people to use better manners. However, it is too often taken to such extremes that a person can't say anything without risk of offending someone. And then political correctness demands that the speaker be shut down, as if they had no Constitutional right to speak their mind. I find many people (most of them right here on yahoo answers) to have offensive ideas; however, they have as much a right to speak their mind as anyone else, as long as they are promoting actual opinions and not inciting violence or just trying to be offensive or insulting.

Oh, yeah! I much prefer culturalism, hatred, nationalism, racism, religionism, sexism--all the isms. They make for a much more beautiful, happier world, more united world.

Who needs loving kindness, generosity, compassion, mercy, justice, truthfulness, honesty, etc. The world would be a much better place without them. All that love just makes me sick to my stomach!

I just LOVE the bigots, culturalists, haters, nationalists, racists, religionists, sexists. Yea! Let's hear it for freedom of hate!

Hell on earth is much better than heaven on earth.

Yea! Political Incorrectness!

There! I've spoken my mind for once! I feel so GOOD!

Now, I'm going to put my thumb in my mouth and go to sleep with my banky.

YES!!! Political correctness has made common sense a thing of the past. If you catch a burglar in your house then it's best to help the poor soul by carrying your possessions to the front door lest he should trip up and hurt himself and it's you that end up in court!
The Police have been effectively neutralised by the fast tracking of university graduates whose only experience of life has been obtained in the liberal atmosphere of education. Just in case any real policemen still exist, the Politically Correct Brigade has turned the Police Force in on itself by claims of institutional racism.
If they do actually succeed in getting a villain into court then the Magistrates hand out such lenient sentences (as laid down by the very Politically Correct 'sentencing advisory panel') that there is no deterrent. If you do end up in prison, the prison officers are told to call you by your first name and not say anything that may upset you! Just in case you get bored, you can keep yourself amused by repeatedly taking the prison governor to court over trivial matters that you think violate your human rights - all paid for by legal aid!
Travellers can descend upon your area, dump old cars and **** everywhere with impunity. You try doing it in your front garden and see what happens! They are allowed to bypass the normal planning controls that are so strictly enforced on the rest of us and cost local councils hundreds of thousands of pounds in court cases and clean-ups. Who pays? Why you do of course - just check your council tax bill!
Illegal immigrants (if caught) are rarely deported. Have you got a long way to come to get here? Why not hijack an airliner for the trip? Don't worry, we will still let you stay!
Would you like a black coffee? NO! You can't say that! It's coffee without milk and Local Authorities spend a fortune of our money on making their employees attend courses on Newspeak!
Our British humour has suffered badly. We can't tell jokes anymore in case it's considered racist or it upsets anyone. Don't these Politically Correct people realise that these are just jokes, said for fun and not real abuse?
Try organising an event or trip and you find yourself tied up in the endless red tape created by the Health & Safety Executive. These people are all part of the 'Nanny State' which insists in sticking its nose into every aspect of our lives and telling us how to live it!

Only if they are fake. But not politically correct people who really believe in what they say and actually are the same they act.

Not nearly as much as bigoted jerks do.

____

Why do the same people who complain about political correctness get all pissy and huffy if you say something derogatory about Bush or Christianity? Isn't that the same thing and enforcing political correctness? Or is it not politically correct when you get offended.

_____

And jerk below me - YOU ARE NOT A MINORITY - STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM - IF YOU THINK YOU ARE A VICTIM OF SOMETHING THEN THE 2ND HALF OF YOUR NAME IS THE ONLY PART THAT IS ACCURATE.

I have always been anti-PC because PC means repression of thoughts and ideas. PC is anti-freedom. If I wanted to be bigotted I have the right to be. Hate Crimes is another abomination, crime is crime, it's not worse because someone hates someone else. It cheapens the same crime which was not labeled a hate crime.

notyou311,

I have people insult my race and religion all the time. I am a white, Christian, male. We are the new minority. Insults do not hurt me. I have confidence in who I am. Only the weak are hurt by words.

Yes PC is BS.

Yeah, I wish I could thin the population by scanning answers and push a delete button on the people who are uptight and get offended on this site.

Depends on what you are looking at.

When it comes to ethnic origin. You are either AMERICAN or you're not. You're either English or you're not. You're either French or you're not. You're either Turkish or you're not. That's pretty cut and dried there. Why do we have to have another moniker labeled on to it like Irish American, African American, Native American, or whatever.

As for other issues. People need to get over it.

I don't think they like to be called politically correct any more. I think the term is now "persons who lean towards acting in a widly-understood-to-be socially acceptable manner".
