You're using that as a cover to be morally incorrect, not politically incorrect. You're just hoping no one will notice that as you scream "facism".

Ah, so people who criticize fascists are the real fascists because[ent]hellip[/ent] you fascists say so?
I'm sorry, but aren't you a little too old to be using [ent]ldquo[/ent]I know you are, but what am I?[ent]rdquo[/ent] arguments?

George Carlin said a lot of good things. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. What "political correctness" is, 9 times out of 10, is just not being an arsehole to fellow human beings.

Even though Carlin didn't say it. I still agree with it. That is, enforced political correctness

It's political correctness when someone is afraid to state a fact because some snowflake may take offence!

I can. Disallowing people to kneel during the national anthem because it might hurt snowflakes' feelings.

Geesus, it's all around us! Ever hear of "Black Lives Matter?" Obama, Turnbull, May insisting jihadi terrorist attacks " have nothing to do with Islam! " Screeching feminists, anything and everything Greens leader DiNatale says, expressing an opinion about anyone is regarded as hate speech, thereby silencing criticism ect, ect.

Your best post ever.

Yup, that's an excellent one. Or deplatforming Milo Yanopolis from speaking at universities. Trying to attack Thunderf00t and getting him fired just for having a personal gender theory on youtube. And so on.
I don't care which side does it. Anybody who attacks the person instead of argument is an absolute arse.
In a free democratic society everybody should feel free to speak their mind and not worry if they'll lose their livelihoods. That's as true for Nation of Islam supporters as White Pride groups to man-hating feminazis
I don't think the world is made a better place by scaring people into silence. I'm against it.
Having your feelings hurt is the price we pay for freedom. It must be ok to offend
9 times out of 10 political correctness is the declaration that the label makes the item.
When you remove a politically incorrect term for a situation you just cause another term to arise to take it's place, you don't solve the original issue.
Now, in a few cases there was no real reason for the initial word but most of the time there is.
