"PC" or politically correct has always been around

Posted: Oct 14, 2013

People with class and manners and sensitivity have always known that slurs and insults and labels are unacceptable.

PC = Polite commentary

Because there is not a person in the world that we couldn't insult if we wanted to.

Can you imagine a team called the WHITESKINS? the BLACKSKINS? How about the Whitetrailertrash-skins? Etcetera ad nauseam.

Come on - we can evolve (grow up) and admit some things some terms, etc., are best left in the third grade where they belong.

You are confusing PC with character. It extends way beyond words. SM - anon

Some school systems where I live cannot have Christmas plays because it might offend Muslims. Intelligent design is another thing under assault.

Sorry but i think you are actually confusing the law - with PC/words

PUBLIC schools are restricted from Religious displays AS THEY SHOULD BE.

or would you be ok with EVERY RELIGION represented in school being able to have EQUAL time with regard to any and all religious actions? Fair question.

If I respond to this my post will be deleted because someone - anon

the beginning of time. If you want to teach a child why it's bad to mock someone, then you need to tell them why. That builds character. Doing it because you chose to is not the same as being forced.

If you want to teach a child not to mock some - have them come to this board

They'll find out real quick how insulting and devastating it is to be called a terrorist, anarchist, hostage-holder, racist, etc all because they believe in fairness for everyone. They'll see real quick how one side responsible for terrible things in government like to blame the other side and take no responsibility. They learn real fast about negativity and the effects is has on people.

They will also learn how unbelievably SM - agree

tough it is to negotiate with the other side because most of the time they seem to want to make sure that they aren’t losing, so they never agree to anything while blaming the opponent.

with the help of the media NM - agree

If you read though the various posts on any given day you will see FAR MORE concessions and agreement on the side of progressives (aka scary liberals) than you will from the side that tends to whine about that group.

In other words almost without fail, a progressive will admit when the other side is right/has a point, etc., mainly because they tend not to be threatened by others with different ideas.

I disagree - by reading this board

[ In Reply To ..]
progressives never admit when the other side is right. It's always the blame game with them. Like for instance what is going on now. Harry Reid out there telling people "you're going to mess it up for us". They are not sitting down. Tables empty of democrats while the republicans sitting hoping the democrats will negotiate. Compromises have tried to be made by republicans, but the democrats are saying, no I want it ALL. I want it MY WAY, and I am not going to give you anything you want. I'll shut down the government until you cave in and give us our demands and then I'll blame it all on you.

Here on this board I see many conservative posters that say "I see your point". I see no progressives ever admitting they are wrong.

Time for new eyeglasses? :) - Cuz I RARELY ever see the neocons

concede a point to the scary liberals.

When and if you are ever right, I'll say so.

And by the way, your 'for instance' (Like for instance what is going on now. Harry Reid out there telling people "you're going to mess it up for us". They are not sitting down. Tables empty of democrats ...)

What does THAT have to do with invididuals on a chat board demonstrating opening mindedness TO ONE ANOTHER'S POSTS by admitting when the other side has a point? It is completely off the point/subject and if you can't see THAT there is really not much point in a discussion.

Not all conservatives are neocons, just like not all liberals are - communists - sm

You are the one who needs glasses.

Right now nobody is saying the other side is right. It's all a bickering with stupid comments trying to prove the other side is wrong. NOBODY is saying the other side is right. Progressive don't, but in the past I have seen conservatives say you may be right.

You'll say the other side is right, yeah sure. I don't believe you.

You must not be wearing any glasses. Otherwise if you've read the board you would not have written what you did.

Equating liberals to communists just proves that - you don't understand the meaning of either te

Just sayin.

I understand it well more than you do if you think that - older than dirt

[ In Reply To ..]
You like to think that liberals and communists are so far from each other, when in fact they are of similar beliefs. Here is some information. Again, I will restate what I wrote. Not all conservatives are neocons (true), just like not all liberals are communists (true). Both statements are true. There are some neocons in the republican party and there are some communists in the democrat party (more than you want to admit).

"When the policies and principles of the Communist Party and liberal progressives are compared, it’s disturbingly apparent that both groups are scholars of the same school of big government and social justice."

So who are these modern-day comrades and what exactly do they want? According to the Communist Party USA’s “constitution,” they are a party “of and for the U.S working class” that believes abolishing capitalism and instituting a “socialist reorganization of society” will solve just about everything—“exploitation of human beings by others, the evils of oppression, war, racism, environmental degradation, and poverty.” The constitution goes on to state that the party “fights for jobs and economic security, a decent and rising standard of living, peace, justice, equality, a sustainable environment, gay rights, health care, education, affordable housing, the needs of seniors, democracy, and a fulfilling life for everyone, with socialism as our goal.” In short, they want it all. And the Party believes that by giving government control of major industries, redistributing wealth, and by keeping all citizens at the same level of mediocrity for the sake of fairness, this idealistic utopia can be attained.

Just those two paragraphs above are the progressive liberals.

In another article:

Liberals promise to act in an angelic manner "for the public good" if they are given enough power. Once attaining that power, as we are seeing now in the American system, liberals work to create within America the very philosophy we fought to defeat during the Cold War. Part of that philosophy is the General Will, which is a concept that was once promoted by a man named Jean Jacque Rousseau at about the same time as the founding of this nation.

homophobe, bigot. My husband has worked with lots of liberals and they all despite the Tea Party. It's group think. I think anyone who stands up to them is lumped into this category. Oh, forgot global warming denier...

I would leave those negotiations to the Indian tribes - some things you and I will never understand

[ In Reply To ..]
Well being married to a Native American does give me a little more insight into how they feel, I believe talks about changing names should be discussed between the people whom it may be offensive to. It would be silly for a Caucasian person to discuss how African Americans really feel about certain slurs, I think it's best to be left up to those people who are affected by it.

I do know this topic of changing the Redskins name comes up quite often.

If you are going to tell one team to get rid of the name because you as a white or black or Asian person of heritage feel the Indian nation is insulted by it (after all we do know better than everyone else, don't we?), then are going to go to the Native American schools and ask them to get rid of the name of their sports team in their tribes. After all, we must teach them tolerance about their own heritage, right? Maybe we should also go to all the Native American outings and tell them to stop wearing the clothing to their heritage and to stop their dances because that is not PC.

I say if the Native Americans are okay with the name, then let it be okay. They are the best ones to decide what is offensive and not offensive to them.

Then of course we need to start taking a look at all the names of the streets, roads, schools, everything. I think there will be something offensive about everything, so lets just change all the names of everything.
