In your own words, how would you define the term politically correct?

Answer 1

the manner in which one speaks to or about someone who NEEDS A THICKER SKIN!

Answer 2

COWARDICE, IGNORANCE, BRAINWASHED, ARROGANT are a few I would use!!! As an Example I shall use "Mr. Green Suit" himself, the Beloved "father" of the Internet, Al Gore!!! Here is a Coward who is Ignorant, Arrogant & Brainwashed into thinking his P.C. Activism will "Save" the "World" while he "Sells Out" buying "Carbon Credits" from his Own Company!!! Being P.C. has actually ADDED TO POLLUTION!!! I site the fact that in the late 60's we were "ACCOSTED" by the "First Wave of Green Activism" when we had "FORCED UPON US EMISSION CONTROLS" for our "Evil" Automobiles!!! How U ask??? One of the "Devices" used is called a "Catalytic Converter". Just think about what the 2 words actually mean! Yes, I know it hurts to "Think Independently", just do it!!! Catalyst is something that is added to create a "Change/Reaction" in something else. In this case, it is a group of VERY TOXIC RARE EARTH ELEMENTS like Cadmium, Platinum etc!!! These "Elements" "Convert" Hydro Carbons & CO into H2SO4, good stuff for our "Environment" right??? Must be, all the "Greenies" signed off on it because They Are P.C. and can tell Us how to run Our Lives right??? Oops!!! Wait a minute, isn't H2SO4 "SULFURIC ACID"??? U mean that "stuff" we see running out the exhaust pipes of cars on cold mornings is POLLUTING OUR WATER TABLES, RUINING OUR ROADS, KILLING VEGETATION & US!!! So is that WHY the "Feds" have Outlawed "Cat. Converters" for 2010 cars??? Sad, but TRUE!!! Man always thinks he is "Smarter" than God always trying to supplant God with mans "Science" and ending up causing "MORE HARM THAN GOOD"!!! Fact is that the "Old Emissions" from cars are actually Used by Vegetation to "Feed" themselves & "Create Oxygen" for us!!! Now back to our O'l Buddy Al Gore!!! Look up the word "Loser" in Ur "Funk & Wagnels" and U will see 2 words...Al Gore!!! Watch him closely, if his Lips move, it's a LIE!!! Man WILL NOT DESTROY THIS WORLD!!! Why??? Because Scripture has NEVER BEEN PROVEN WRONG!!! Scripture says God Shall Destroy the Earth & Create a "New Earth" in Rev. 21!!! Rather long I know, but I always try to "Back Up" what I say, unlike "Mr. Gore"!!! John

Answer 3

Marked by or adhering to a typically progressive orthodoxy on issues involving (especially) race, gender, sexual affinity, or ecology, or of language or behavior that does not offend particular groups of people.

That's about the best way to describe it. I.e. it's "politically correct" to believe or espouse certain things that are in line with what can be termed the "progressive orthodoxy."
