Our Absurd Level Of Politcal Correctness.....

I'm not fully opposed to emigrating people coming in to escape the collapse of their native country. If you want your country to be a dumping ground for refugees of war, famine, and genocide to come to your land that's fine; I'm not here to tell you how to think.

I bring this stuff up because I'm skeptical of the selectivity of which ethnicity are being accepted, and which ones are being denied. And the reasoning behind these selections.

 

The exorcist, this edited version is unbelievable sinister!

Original: Your mother sucks cocks in Hell.

Edited: Your mother knits socks that smell

Weird science, this one sounds a lot more painful when it is edited,

Original: I’m not talking candle wax on their nipples...........

Edited: I'm not talking candle wax on their pimples.............

Casino, In this edited version, apparently a saying that you forgot your mother is a huge insulting are fighting words!

Original: Fuck me? Fuck you, you motherfucker!

Edited: Forget me? Forget you, you mother forgetter!

 

But movies aside I am not politically correct! Just can’t do it, nor do I try to be, curb my language. Instead I will be honest. I won’t use made up words and I won’t be told what I can and can’t say! I will decide what I will say.

in my left wing liberal country some provinces have language police, so I won’t be told how I must speak or what I must say in English.

 

I feel like the argument is about free thought... LIke, it's inconvenient for some folks to demonstrate social chivalry, or whatever we want to call it.

I think that political correctness is important. It's like having morals. It's ethical. When politicians have problems with morals and ethics in no uncertain terms being applied where there once were none, I wonder...

It's a little bit like they don't want to be told what to think/believe, & I get that, believe me.

But for a politician to not see the problem with something like cultural appropriation as one example is a little bit weird.

And of course this isn't restricted to only politicians. Just saying, I think it's professional & I think it's moral, and I think it's ethical.

With all that said, are people who can't demonstrate political correctness lacking in moral fortitude, ethics, or professionalism?

 

Political correctness is for politicians. What you (Soul) are talking about in regards to ordinary people/our fellow citizens all fits under the term civil behavior. Social 'chivalry' reminds me right away of the guy from South Park called PC principal. Of course standing up for your fellow man in social situations is a good thing at first instance, and yes can righteously be called chivalry.

It's not that simple. Sometimes yes its one if those aspects, often not at all.

Perhaps i missed something, but why movies aside? You think PC has a purpose in movies?

 

oh I was just quoting above how words are removed from movies, because they are considered offensive to some people.

I don’t think political correctness has any place. Some people are offended at a door being held open for them. I’m a woman, I can do it myself attitude, or expect my language to change in order to accommodate ones gender, or what they want to be referred to as. A friend of mine works with a trans person, some clients who come in do not know what to call her. Her? gender or identity changes daily. Complaints constantly filed by this person for clients calling him a her or him. One client said “that one” When asked who had helped him, and she/he filed a complaint against the client. There have been countless meetings for the staff on how to refer to this person. We are visual beings. PC can suck my lady balls. If it is perceived as offensive, when it was not given in that way, not my problem. The problem is with the one who takes offence at the most insignificant thing. Can’t expect grammar to change because one decides they want to be called a bear, or a chair, or whatever it may be.

I have called guys she before, and he didn’t mind. She also called himself Wilma but clearly had a penis. I can see people calling him a he well. He most certainly doesn’t take offence to this. It simply is not important.
Mutual understanding is what it comes down to. I understand They/them/theirs terms, but it doesn’t mean this will come naturally to me or others in the spoken word, that naturally flows, nor is it correct. They them and theirs are suppose to be used in a singular way, when the words are not singular and are not used in reference to a third person Who is not present.

They left their backpack. (the person is not present)

who was helping you? Answer MUST be “They were” followed by pointing. You can not say she was or he was. You can not say that one either.

yet this is suppose to be used in reference to a person who is present. That is PC.

So mutual understanding is non existence, Tolerance doesn’t exist either. when people who expect They/them/theirs to be used as pronouns, are completely intolerant or acceptancing of those who have not, or can not naturally make the adjustment to this way of speaking in all situations.

if you have to stop and think every time, searching for the politically correct term, you completely lose your train of thought. If a person is interrupted and corrected in this every time it happens, the conversation doesn’t flow either. The topic completely changes on how you must speak.

just imagine if every time someone referred to you as white, or brown, or whatever, you stopped to correct this within this forum. Told them you are pink, or peach, or yellow, or beige, or no, you can’t say white anymore, this is not politically correct. You can’t say black anymore, this is not politically correct. Was it given as an insult? There is no such thing as a he and a she. No such thing as a man or a woman. There is no identity. No features are to be used to describe a person.

 

This!

If tolerance means accepting people as they are, then it either works both ways or doesn't work at all.

 

i know in the movies i typically watch, i could go without ever hearing the phrase "black cock" again.

 

Is that real? Did some latte sipping Karen really say Karen is worse than the N word?

 

They is on first.
Huh? What is that?
Not that it is they
Them is on third.
There is them?
No, their is on second.
What is there?
No no not there, their
What?

 

i sure hope not, but who knows? when i saw it posted, it was a joke. but i don't know the origin.
