Title: How do you define PC?
Post by: antivortex on June 25, 2009, 10:43:02 AM
Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

He asked for your definition on PC (Political Correctness) in the title.

Then he gives us his...whats not to get!?!

Political Correctness is the natural outgrowth of a society that has spent at least a generation or more in a state of relative financial and physical comfort.

It is what happens when children grow up knowing few real problems of their own, have little exposure to the hardships suffered by their parents and grandparents, have never known the direct effects of war, economic turmoil, social upheaval and political volatility.

They become overly sensitive by virtue of a burgeoning subconscious guilt, and the most primitive response is to start apologizing for the prosperity they have known since their first days out of the womb. They become reluctant to pass judgment, even when such judgment is rational and justified, and are always ready to step in and point fingers at those they perceive as oppressors--even when those oppressors' actions and traits are not just a reasonable response to external stimulus, but are, in fact, are remarkably consistent with the actions and traits of preceding generations which created the comfortable environment in which the PC were born and raised.

Put plainly, it is the softening of the backbone, and the departure from reality. It has nothing to do with correctness or politeness, and everything to do with a gradual atrophy of the heart and mind.

I think this is more in the realm of sociological theory. There are no specific names, groups and relationships mentioned--merely the dynamics present within a population given certain conditions present.

If you are trying to come across as an intellectual, you may want to start by not copy and pasting from somewhere else and passing it off as your own.

I've vote Independent.  You seem to be irked at someone who merely conveyed to the Community that "those were not your words."   But you sure did try to foist it off as your statement.   BTW, I never googled it.

You have the same problem here as I mentioned in one other thread: the picture of Homer Simpson going cross-eyed and raising his hands in the air, agrees with that statment not at all.

Are you speaking to me? or the original poster?

I have posted all of 30 times in the last year, and you are in none of those threads. I usually stick with topics concerning TV and movies, and an occasional one about aircraft.

P.C. = the act of going out of your way to not say or do anything that could conceivably offend anyone through the unfounded belief that everyone has a right or a the right to a reasonable expectation to not be offended.

PC:   true and to the point.. and someone may be offended because of that, so don't say it.


EXAMPLE:  "most white trash have bad teeth"

FAIL!  true, and to the point..  but no good..

said white trash will be upset because you have held them in a negative light.

PC  "white trash,.. may or may not have bad teeth... and if they do, its someone else's fault."

CORRECT!  not accurate, but nobody is mad.

white trash is not mad, because its stated as someone's else's fault, and no one else is mad, because it really is no one else's fault.

Yes I am talking to you. You and Selino both have a problem when talking about how stupid people are or how evil the human race has become. All I mean is that Homer Simpson is an idiot and you have his picture as your avatar. And Bender is a thief, and a conman, and Selino has him as his avatar. I'm not insulting, I'm just saying it is a little bit humorous. Maybe it was Selino I was thinking of, But I am fairly certian it was you.

And Wingnutt, it is sad how far the human race has fallen since. Or is evolved more accurate?

Where in any of my posts did I say the human race was evil? (99% of the time I stay out of these posts) As previously stated I tend to post in topics that are there for fun.

I only pointed out not to plagiarize other peoples work and pass it off as his own composition. Having had previous jobs looking specifically for plagiarism, I usually look out for it and the original post seemed familiar to me.

I admit I did add a bit a sarcasm in my post due to the original poster obviously flame baiting, and I thought playing along would be a little fun. Hence my PC = Personal Computer remark, which was there for levity.

As far as Homer Simpson as an avatar, you are right it is there for humor (it is a cartoon after all, and chosen for the heck of it).

No, no, no. I said Selino posted in a forum saying someone did something wrong or something along those lines and with his avatar being bender I thought it was humerous. I think you were posting something sounding intelectual that was wrong, at least in that forum, and I though it was humerous.
