What is your definition of political correctness?

Answer 1

Getting your point across without having the need to embarass someone. True intlelectuals know how to influence without destroying.

Answer 2

Let's first have a look at the origins of political correctness and fill it out with a bit of history.

Political Correctness [PC] was devised by the French Communist Party back in the 1920s. Their evil plan was that if they could get people to accept the idea of political correctness, it would eventually stifle debate in a democracy and ultimately lead to a true Communist State.

The Communist Party of France PC plan seems to be working. So cleverly in fact that many people in UK simply believe that PC was originally an American idea. Thus, because USA is a democracy, it must be okay.

Bad news. PC did not start out in the USA but it got introduced to the USA back in the 1960s when American students went to France and joined the riots and learnt all about PC from the Communists.

The Communist Party of France is very powerful and must never be under estimated. This is the party which single handedly rid the City of Paris of the Germans and took their surrender three hours before De Gaulle entered the city with the Free French Army. In fact the surrender had been accomplished by a famous Communist called Colonel Rol, a Breton who ran the French Underground [Armee Secret] during the entire four years of Nazi occupation and was never captured by the Gestapo.

Here in UK the Communists have taken over the Labour Party and now are in control of the UK government. Neither Gordon Brown nor before him Tony Blair, were ever true Socialists. They, like their Red Chinese masters, believed in the principles of a Free [Capitalist] Economy - socialists do not believe in this. Socialists believe in what Tony Blair once called "The Third Way" - co-operativism.

We now have PC in every aspect of our political life and it is killing open debate stone dead. People are fearful of saying anything in case someone accuses them of being racist or worse.

Democracy in UK is dead. The Communists have taken over and they are working [worm-like] in every political party, including the Tory or Crapist party.

For a better understanding of what's happening, read George Orwell's book "1984" - written by him in 1948.
As you read the book you will understand the true meaning of political correctness, which in his day he described as "new speak". A way of speaking so as to disguise the true meaning of what is said. It's happening in your neighbourhood.

BRITAIN - IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND TAKE BACK YOUR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY SO HARD WON BY PREVIOUS GENERATIONS.

In a few days we will be remembering our war dead at the hundreds of war memorials around the country. They fought and died for us so that we shall be free. The last 27 survivors, the last Tommies of World War One are now in their early hundreds and will soon be gone forever. Don't let their sacrifice and that of their generation be wasted.

WE WILL REMEBER THEM.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

Answer 3

I don’t insult any ethnic or religious group by using names that they don’t like and I expect the same courtesy in return. That is an important element of political correctness. The rest of political correctness is just trying to be polite.

I've never felt inhibited by any aspects of political correctness and I wonder why so many people feel that it's burdensome.

Answer 4

There are two aspects of the term political correctness:
1. for the speaker ... to use language that respects others even if that respect prevents the speaker from stating the truth

2. For the listener ... to abuse language to deny the truth

Answer 5

Political correctness, to me, means going beyond ordinary and natural human warmth and civility to a safer, colder set of unspoken rules of human interaction that are prima facie artificial, self-defeating by its own formalism, and loosely-defined but stringently-maintained by an exclusionary political group, most usually but not always the left.

[Phew!]

Answer 6

My definition of political correctness is "Language and actions used as a means to not offend a specific cultural group in society."

Answer 7

Having the good manners and graciousness to address people and groups by the names they prefer, and not wringing your hands about when such terminology changes with new generations.

That said, graciousness and good manners work both ways. Gracious people do not take offense when none is intended. They simply inform people of their preferences. Also, gracious people to not object to terminology on behalf of someone else they think may or should be offended.

Answer 8

The three stooges
the Labour party
the Tory party
and the Teat sucking Liberal party

vote UKIP give Britain a fighting chance.

korky.

Answer 9

The attempt to return civility to public discourse.

Of course, it is reviled and denigrated by those seeking to poison the well of public discourse for their own political gain.

Notice it is the conservatives who always go name calling and trashing anyone who dares to speak a truth that opposes their agenda

Answer 10

Political correctness = the human race has lost it's thick hide, common sense, and sense of humor, and can't take the truth.

Answer 11

Politicians say the PC teaches manners - it doesnt, it teaches them how to REBEL.

As we are approaching remembrance weekend, we remember those who have died for our country, our freedom and those that still protect us from f***ing muslim terrorists.
and because we have to welcome them with open arms, because if you dont, you get labelled f***ing racist.

Political Correct takes away the freedom that our ancestors have fought for over the past millenia and what we still fight for today.

If it carries on - 2 Words - "Civil War"

vote BNP or UKIP and lets get our country back.

If not lets take it back by force.
