Because someone will always find something someone else says offensive.
Being politically correct came about, in my opinion, because people got tired of covering their a s s e s .

I'm afraid I don't remember who said it right now, but a very smart lady once said "Women who behave very rarely make history", or something very similar to that statement. The same thing could be said of men. To "heck" with political correctness, do and say what you think is correct. Remember when the pope locked up Galileo for having the guts to say that the sun revolves around the Earth? You know Galileo's name - do you remember that pope's name?

there is not any longer something stunning approximately political "correctness". this is liberals attempting to tension their sort of CENSORSHIP down somewhat everyone's throats. (that's why i'm a •reasonable•) i'm my own person & delight myself on no longer being pc. as quickly as you pass pc, you have given up having your very own comments & now basically say what a reliable lil' zombie is advised to. The previous procedures are ineffective & you elect human beings around you who concur. which means remarkable out extra with the imaginitive human beings, the freaks & genuine visionaries, than you're already doing. think of extra approximately what their needs are & respond subsequently. avert the dullards; avert people who play it secure. they might't provide help to anymore. Their stability kind no longer delivers stability. they are extinct, they are extinction.

Because apparently someone somewhere decided that Americans are soft, easily offended people who cry themselves to tears when someone points out the obvious. And amid those tears, anger comes and decides that someone should get money from those mean mouthed b@stards! What difference does it make if what they say is obvious and the truth! Feelings were hurt!

Because too many people no longer value a balance between kindness and honesty.
PC tries to restore it, perhaps, but focuses in the wrong place, in my opinion.

It doesn't. Listen to Howard Stern, or watch some South Park. Not everyone conforms to these rediculious standards.

Because parents and schools are shoving it down our throats and wrongfully do. It is so damaging and constraining to our childrens own natural mental development.

You can rebel any time you want.
All you have to do is be honest. Don't compromise your values just because someone thinks you're being rude or insensitive.
