If not you are one of the most (how to be PC about this?) intellectually challenged individuals I've ever seen.

"PC = not assumeing"

one of the silliest statements I've read on this board.

Mane, if you will add a little cornmeal or less ground shad it will give that stuff a little less of a baity aroma.

As is for all of us..

This thread was about a simple definition of PC. Which is what I attempted to give my view of.

Its pretty funny all the comments I get back (not really talking about you lazs as I figured your first line in this quote of yours was a joke). From jackle's comment on how I must have had more than my share of bellybutton kickings (why this would even come into this thread i have no idea unless there is some sort of other emotion working here) to infringments of civil rights .. lol

Jackal, why the need to type all that? do you feel i am interfering with your freedom of choice?? lmao I never offered opinon on how one should use PC. I use it when its needed but the bell does ring on occasions.. I'm certainly glad you got your own 'good things' though even if interpretations isn't one of them.. lmao

An example of being PC would be if you had a 100 people over at Easter and one person decides to change the name of the bunny to the Holiday Bunny because he/she doesn't like the term.

Showing respect or civility would be the other 99 people not telling the one to go **** him/her self.

Here! Here! The Celtic festival of the Spring Godess Oester symbolized as the bunny with eggs to represent new life should NEVER be altered just to please some group of picky jacka... oh...uh... nevermind.

It came from the combination of .......

As with anything PC can be taken to extremes and abused. But for the most part cutNdryed PC is nothing more than a show of respect whether it be from fear or true feelings.. It is not something that will fade away.

It appears here you think someone else needs to, or even can, shape what is right for all and it will stay.

With this......

Quote

A not so PC example would be black folk before the equal rights movement.. People, white people, had no trouble referring to the colored man as a ****** because they had no fear of him. They knew they could use such description without any reprisal.. Not so anymore. The use of such verbage will warrent, and rightly so, an bellybutton kicking..

Here you inferred that no one can now express their feelings with out an *** kicking.
In other words you are saying one thing very meekly on the start, then expessing fear and covering your butt in the last.
In other words straddling the fence.
Most people I know of that trys this in RL gets the crap kicked out of them pretty regualarly .
Hope that cleared it up for you.

Jackal, why the need to type all that? do you feel i am interfering with your freedom of choice??

Oh I don`t know. Why did you find it neccessary to type all the stuff you did?
I didn`t see the sign that said I couldn`t post anywhere, so it just came natural .

You would be the least of my worrys when it came to freedom of choice, but it appears yours might be up for grabs.

Specifically how so?? I don't see it.. Who is this 'someone'??

Quote

It was an example of a form of modern day use of PCness or in other words not referring to other people/races in a way that might offend if that was not your intentions.. In other words showing proper respect if that is your intention.

Let me change the last sentence.. lol

"The use of such verbage could warrent, and rightly so, an bellybutton kicking.."

Rightly so because if you insult someone, you could rightly so deserve an bellybutton kicking..

Covering my butt for what?? What have I to fear? Exactly what are you talking about??

lol And what is this straddling crap?? What two issues are you referring to here that I am sitting between? I cant wait to hear it!

Geeez... we got another flat liner here?

dude.. the quote was not a joke. At times, some racial slurs are very descriptive of the people being described. They also help to set the tone when needed. Words are tools.

I don't ban tools. You have to go to the liberal antigun nut crowd for that kind of sillyness.

I don't really even think that liberals are interested in anything but control anyway.

dude... I like your quote but I don't think you undersand it. It says that if you dare not reason you are a slave. PC makes slaves of us all... it says that reason is no only no longer needed but there will be no discussion on the subject.

Perhaps in your mind if you choose to read it that way.. But obviously something is wrong because you are contradicting your own words with your last post.. Either you, yourself, are a slave to PC, or you are not.. Which is it?

When you answer this, let me know which contradiction is right, kk??
