People really need to get thicker skinned, PC run amok is doing more harm than good. If some one says something you don't like, well let him/her/it know about it and people usually listen. There are meany effective methods to making people use better language and shame is one of the best and if that doesn't work a bloody nose usually does the trick.

For me it has nothing to do with PCness. I just don't use it. No need to.

I agree but most don't use it because of PC, case in point the title of this thread.
 
I can't stand it when people attack PC, a muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch overused term, in an attempt to excuse their boorish behavior. Politically correct is a term used only by the ultra-right.
 
well, there really isn't a rational reason to use it. for me...
it's just one of those words that pop out emotionally when walking or
driving around the neighborhood. i see some bastard decked out in red
being loud and obnoxious as hell. completely disrespectful to everyone
he's personally engaging. pants hanging around his ass,
waving his hands around ridiculously attempting to prove whatever primitive
point he's trying to make to his dumpy fat white chick...........................
sorry..but the 1st thing that pops into my head isn't, "awwwww, look at the
poor impoverished african american in his $300 outfit trying to elevate himself in his
impoverished surroundings." no. my 1st thought is..............."stupid f**king nigger."
You get a like because your honest.

dude, even my wife thinks the same thing. she's from the pacific northwest oregon valley. she thought blacks only acted that way on tv.
she was shocked when she moved here and seen it for real. she uses the word herself to describe them, and she's black herself.
 
I hardly ever use it. If I do it's in a joking manner and only among people who I know will not be offended. I never use it in a racist manner, and even when joking it's something that I say extremely infrequently.
 
I picked never only because it is the closest one to the truth. The absolutely only time I use it is when I am telling someone about it being used by someone else or somewhere else. Usually I actually do refer to it as the n word. I have no need for that word or the c word. They are not a part of my normal vocabulary. They are used less often than antidisestablishmentarianism, but generally in the same way, which would be a repeat of someone else using it and not used in its own context.

On the other hand PC is a attempt to control peoples boorish behavior. The bottom line in my point of view, PC just makes people fake. If some one has something to say, then say it. The ultra right/ultrleft/Donald Duck/it has nothing to do with it, it has a lot to do with some one telling me what I can and can't say.

Left, right, up, down. People from all walks of life uses the term.
 
A nigger is a nigger--white, black, read, yellow, or otherwise--and I think we need to stop dancing around the word like it's an actual, "taboo". The day we do that, is the day we get miles ahead in race relations in this country.

Actually, they don't. It's rarely used anymore except on BB when people want to forward a racist attitude. You never here "PC" used in conversation anymore. The concept of politically correct is stupid to begin with.
 
Because he's a Conservative.
But first and foremost I am a freedom loving American and a strict conservative when it comes to the constitution. Everything we need in life and the pursuit of it is already written into the constitution for all men and women. The constitution serves all regardless of what party one a affiliated with, the one thing that bothers me today is that we are trying fix something that really isn't broken, and because of it we find ourselves dying within.

I tend to think of "PC" as the same as the "race card". The two terms are most often used by people who are unwilling to take responsibility for their own behavior.

Beautiful. What a pleasant person you must be.

You can't just say what a word is and tell people to move on. People feel the way they do about words because of their experiences with the words. My experience with the word is as a racial epithet and telling me it isn't a racial epithet means absolutely nothing.

No, it's a derogatory racist term towards people of African decent. It's "taboo" because of the racist history behind it and the racist implications of the words use when used offensively.

That's rather a bold statement, perhaps you are referring to the media in which I would agree because it is the media that kills and over using some some specific term, name or action. Now out in the real world and if this type of topic is brought up, the term PC does come up as well as politically correct, I think nothing of it.

yeah, but these definitions keep changing and changing. take the "black" experience, for example.
at 1st, they were called "niggers" here. the pc crowd decided "nigger" was offensive. we then went to "colored". the coloreds were
happy with that. then some PC moron comes along and says....no..."colored" is offensive. we want the black man to be called "negro".
so then the black man was happy with that. and then another PC twerp comes along and says........no, "negro" is offensive.
then we went to "black". and the blacks were happy with that. but noooooooooooooo....then some driveling moron comes around and says
no...."black" is offensive. we then went to "african american"...whatever the hell that means.
sooooooooooooooooooo.......what's next? how long will it be before "african american" becomes offensive and we have to switch out again?

When I was a kid, a boy at school called me a nigger. It hurt my feelings more than anything. I told my dad about it. He told me that I was only a nigger if I acted like a nigger, otherwise, don't worry about it when some dumbass calls me a nigger.

I was in my 20's before I realized what he meant. I learned that there are alotta niggers in the world and they ain't all black.

It's the niggers in the world that make life tough for the rest of us black folks. Every time we get something good going, a nigger comes along and ****s it up for us. Or, some white Liberal do-gooder.
