Are we becoming to worried about Political Correctness?

Question

What I am saying, is that to me, we are becoming so worried that we are going to piss off a certain group of people that nothing is getting done. Leaders are afraid to take a stand on anything because the are goign to have one of the PC groups all over their a** no matter what they do. We are leaving behind so many or the values that this country was founded on because we don't want to piss someone off. We contridict ourselfs so much in the US its not even funny. One easy example is that a person can be charged with murder in some states if he attacks a women and causes the unborn child to die....but that same women could choose to kill the baby herself if she wanted to. I beleive that there are times when we just have to stand up and say enoughs enough. We are allowing to much grey area into our society. We need more black and white...yes or no....not this grey or sometimes its ok stuff. Do you agree? Why or WHy not?

Answer 1

Yes. One example is the recent refusal of some Minnesota cab drivers to take fare if there is a dog or alcohol. So, seeing eye dogs are not allowed and the fare will be denied. If you've come back from a trip and have a nice bottle of unopened wine in your possession, you will be denied. The cab company said they could mark certain cabs with the "No Dogs, No Alcohol" signs, but that is just wrong, that is just pandering. When does the line get crossed where a cab driver is allowed to search baggage before allowing a fare to ride?

Answer 2

PC is the worst thing to hit this country! The reason is all about values and the increasing lack of many in today's world.

Answer 3

Political correctness has/can definitely stiffle progress. Unfortunately, there are certain areas where we should be careful, but most of the time we just need to get to judging someone based on their individual accountability.
