those who go along with it, should talk to an older german, or russian. maybe they'd realize whats coming.

Answer 2

Political correctness is one of the worst things to ever happen to this country. All it does is give power to people who shouldn't have it. Instead of the the needs of the many outweighing the needs of the few, it has now become the needs of one person outweighs the needs of the many. It's ridiculous. Now all these moonbats out there cry, complain, and whine when their special needs are not being met. They proclaim themselves as victims when it is obviously just a matter of mathmatics and percentages. No one's against you. Just suck it up and stop being so selfish people. And that is all it is. It unjustly gives powers to those in the minority that should not have it. For example, if a group at work wants to throw a Christmas party, it gets all abandoned because 1 out of 15 people happen to be a Jehovah's witness. So no party. So by not having the party, aren't we catering to her religion? Political correctness is retarded, and I won't bend to it.

Answer 3

It derives from the liberals, just as does totalitarianism. Under Soviet rule, the darling form of government of the left, how much free speech was there? That will be how much we'll have here if they continue to brainwash so many young skulls full of mush who end up voting.

Answer 4

It was once politically correct to assert that the earth was flat and the center of the Universe.

the real laws of Universe apply to all, whether we wish them to or not.


one of them seems to be evolution as a sorting out mechanism.


and political correctness sure seems like a losing hand; truth seems to win each and every encounter in the long run.

Yahoo Answers is not publicly founded or owned by any public entity - its privately owned by the share holders or Yahoo. There is no reason why they have to accept your or my posts on their private property. I don't get where people feel they have free speech rights on someone elses private property. You are free to set up your own Internet Q&A if you want too and run it how you want too. You can also control what is posted there if you want too.
