Re: What's Your Take On Political Correctness?

Political correctness.

The "Holiness" standards of the first church of liberalism and "progressive" doctrine.

Environmentalism is their evangelistic method.

Re: What's Your Take On Political Correctness?

"PC" or "political correctness" is a sad joke forced upon us by ultra liberals.
Certain people or people groups have been designated as "protected minorities" and we must all tiptoe around them so we do not say anything that would offend them.

Re: What's Your Take On Political Correctness?

Can you pick up on the sensitivity and caring in my voice?

Stupidest thing ever to come out of liberalism, and they have lots to choose from!

Re: What's Your Take On Political Correctness?

Political correctness is a pretty label for the disease of "I don't know how to speak the truth."

As Christians, we do have an obligation to choose our words carefully, but we also should be truthful in our communications and transparent in our views.

From a political standpoint, it's just plain idiotic. For example, I WANT to know if a person has racist opinions, so I can choose not to vote for him. PLEASE, by all means, let the person call names and vent his vitriol!!!! It will help me choose whether to be his friend or not!

I think there are a lot of people with very racist, immoral, intolerant views hiding behind political correctness for the sake of votes and retaining political (and other forms of) influence.

Let the truth be spoken! Let your "Yes" mean yes, and your "No" mean no.

Re: What's Your Take On Political Correctness?

I don't like political correctness as what it has become today. However, I do feel like that even with PC aside, as Christians we should carry ourselves and conduct ourselves in ways that are not offensive or insensitive to others. I personally don't have a problem not saying things that I know would bring uneccessary affront to anyone. The English language is too vast and I know too many other words.

I've always thought that whenever people resort to crass or vulgar language of any type it is symptomatic of such a condition.
