Political correctness is bad enough in and of itself (the old "road to hell is paved with good intentions" saying applies here), but the biggest problem I have with it is that there is always a huge double standard in play when it comes to the way political correct behavior is enforced in society.
This is by design of course, as the whole point of political correctness is to benefit and further the causes and agendas of certain social and political groups who have placed themselves in charge of deeming what is politically incorrect to say or do in society.
Can't say "Merry Christmas" in public anymore because it might offend someone or could be viewed as favoring one religion over others. Can't say fag or faggot, or say that something is gay because the LGBT community has put up a moratorium on the use of those words, despite the fact that both of them are in the dictionary and neither of their original definitions are slurs against homosexuals.
And do I really have to talk about the double standard that exist in regards to the use of the "n-word" here?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
