• Political Correctness: Good or Bad?
    9 replies, posted
Hopefully you know what I mean by political correctness. I personally think it's bad. One should have the right to bash someone or some group based on whatever they choose, and should have the right to say whatever they want. I think that, if there is [i]too much[/i] political correctness, free speech becomes sort of limited. Of course, it's not just speech. But I don't want to rant, so... What do you think?
bad

It's good in theory but is goes way too far in real life. I liked it when it wasn't racist to sing "bah bah black sheep".
When you phrase the question using "a lot", almost everyone will say no. There's a level that is necessary, though.
There's no such thing as political correctness, it's a phrase invented by conservatives so they can pretend they're being persecuted by minorities A lot of groups in this country have gone from horribly oppressed to much better-treated in the past 50 years, but there is still a lot of discrimination. Unfortunately people sometimes overreact and make mistakes and sometimes people will get unfairly fingered for something. That's bad. But blaming "political correctness" makes you sound like a Glenn Beckite who's mad because it's not as easy to be a bigot as it used to be
I'm with TH89 on this one.
Nope. Too much and it's just silly.
