Come ON!! How much funnier was life BEFORE you had to be politicaly correct about EVERYTHING!! Becuase of PC NOBODY knows how to laugh at themselves anymore...Its a killer blow to good humor as we know it...
If everyone had the capacity to use their common sense, then we might not need political correctness. You're assuming everyone does.Man was given Common Sense for a reason. We don't need political correctness.

I'd agree with some of the comments here about certain things concerning political correctness, such as not using really offensive terms when referring to others but there are indeed some over the top things out there which are usually down to middle class white people being uptight about stuff no one cares about. I grew up in a mostly Muslim town and not once did we as a family get berated for celebrating Christmas as Christmas - in fact, we'd share our festivals with our neighbours and vice versa.
I'll tell you what bugs me - we're not supposed to say blackboard anymore. It's chalkboard. Now I don't know of a single person in any of the schools I have been in or my daughter has been in that have been up in arms about calling a black board exactly that. But there you have it. I mean, I'm not getting all antsy because there's a whiteboard, am I? I still call it a blackboard and I will continue to do so until I'm old, eccentric and obscene.
this is a simple one... Since the advent of Political correctness, there has been a drop in manners.can even be small things like people not holding doors open or even saying thank you and please.
combine that with a sharp rise in the underclass chavs etc and you have a disjointed society that is at each others throats pretty sharpish.
If a parent took the time to bother to teach their kids manners then calling people retards and all the rest of it would quieten down, but it appears that people only really display manners when,
!,they want something or
2, their paycheque depends on it.
The heavy stuff like racism has been more or less removed from britain when compared to say the 70's but the PC stuff has taken over the whole thing. to the extent where you are barely allowed banter in the work place, without fear of some tool screaming discrimination of, colour,sex or whatever else. There was a time when people just didn't have time to get offended,they were too busy getting on with life.
this may be rose tinted glasses here, but i swear people had thicker skins as well.
this is all general of course and not sweeping everyone with the one brush.
So i guess i'll be politically correct when the politicians lead by example............think i'll be waiting a while.
lol cheers kennedy Killer.......oh i do beg your pardon.......SIR kennedy killer!
I was going to simply post
'' Offended by everything ashamed of nothing ''
But thought i'd go more into detail.
