Political correctness makes me want to open the heads of those rotten people enforcing it, remove their useless brains and puke in their empty skulls.

Sometimes it's a good thing. Most of the time it's not.

For example, take "sexist language." I can totally see why some people would be offended by using "he" in the subjunctive hypothetical (whenever you refer to no one in particular.) How about the "-man" words like postman and policeman?

I've been corrected on this one multiple times by snobs. Look, peeps. The word "woman" ends in the same "-man" suffix. In context, it's gender neutral.



In some instances yes, in others no. It needs to be in place to stop ignorant people from running their mouth but it's seemingly gone a bit overboard in recent years, I never though 'no homo' was homophobic in the first place, I say no hetro myself and see nothing wrong with it.

I would rather it existed than not though, it's been good for stifling hate speech which I think has allowed certain minorities to progress.



 

The Lakers are done you might as well start rooting for the Clippers at least they play in the same building.  Anyway the Heat is going to threepeat.



Chtistian airman claims he was fired by lesbian commander for gay marriage stance

I see homofascism is on the march over therre :D I guess it's safier for you to call a straight person a fag, lowers chances for you to be fired or worse.

You know the world is crazy when the Clippers are better than the Lakers. Anyway, I've been a Laker fan since the days of Shaq and Kobe, so that's not going to change any time soon :p. As for the Heat threepeating, it would be shocking if they don't threepeat.

You're the one who usually complains when we post Western news sources of questionable objectivity.

I never complained about that. What I usually say is every news source is of questionable objectivity one way or another.

What country is this? But yeah, political correctness definitely does hurt our as a society to discuss important subjects, which is a shame.
