Can I have some examples?
Is it related to being a political prisoner?
What is a political prisoner?
2006-12-02 16:02:45 · 20 answers · asked by The Riddler 3 in Politics & Government ➔ Politics
PC means to avoid saying certain things only because it may offend someone. Such as "Merry Christmas" so instead you would say "Happy Holidays". Or a person from Mexico shouldn't be called a "Mexican" but a Hispanic. Personally, I think it's silly. People have become so sensitive, it's like a country full of cry babies. "Stop calling me an Okie, it hurts my little feelings". It's just dumb. As long as the words aren't said in a derogatory manner, it shouldn't matter.
Political prisoner is someone who is jailed solely for his/her political beliefs or because the government feels he is a threat to their power structure.

Politically correct means giving respect, using diplomacy and courtesy when dealing with others-- especially of another race, religion or political party.
For people who are Neoconservative, it feels like a violation of their rights to abuse and namecall. They don't want to giive up the right to feel superior or to make others feel inferior and tell everyone what to do and how to think. They don't respect other races very much.
Neoconservatives complain about political correctness all the time.
A political prisoner is one who is being imprisoned because of their politics. Usually, they are on the left-- so they are opposite of the Neoconservatives who jail them.
Neoconservatives are also called Neocons for short. Sometimes they are called fascists because they believe only a few should own and control everything. They have taken the term Conservative away from true Conservatives (who are usually in favor of using business to strengthen the nation, while Democrats feel its people who strengthen the nation). Some Conservatives are upset because their title was stolen by the Neocons.

Well in my opinion, being politically correct means that you are going to censor yourself in order appease with FCC regulations, people's feelings, or not to lose political campaign donors. An example would Howard Stern doing a talk show about teletubbies and beanie babies rather then, watch this, about ******* a pretty women's pussy.

Being politically correct means speaking without giving offence to anyone.
It is not reated to being a political prisoner.
To put it simply we can't refer to blacks as negroes.
To women as inferior
To short people as dwarves.
To itellectually challenged people as retarded.
I think that will give you an idea.

It is to totally ignore any facet of reality that may cast doubts on the latest political inventions of the powers that be (and want to be), even if they are totally erroneous, illogical, and absurd.
Don’t question or examine irrationality.

Politically correct means that a person will agree with the powers that be even though they know it is wrong. Even though they know they are agreeing with something that is entirely wrong.

"Politically correct" means in reality "incorrect".
Like at work "Office Politics" means doing things a** backwords.

well... it could mean anything from in it's most basic form of not using racial slurs... which I think most would agree is a bad thing...
to changing minor details in traditions... like changing the words in a christmas play to "holiday"...which I think is going a little far...
