So I'm guessing the pic was removed but what was it?

It was this. If it doesn't work this time, I give up. It's an akbar pic.

Lack of political correctness leads to some people in the US acting retarded and thinking ALL MOOSLEMS ARE EVULS!1!!1

I feel political correctness can impinge on Free Speech, but I respect the fact that certain terms can be seen as offensive.
However, I do think that P.C is being taken way too far.

Latest PC madness from England - The Early Learning Centre (shop chain which sells toys for very young children) has removed the pigs from its barnyard playsets so it doesn't offend jews of muslims. Instead, they have managed to insult everyone else and made hundreds of children cry.

Am I politically correct? No?

Then I'd be a hypocrite for supporting it.

Which is why I'm a big fan of comedians who... overstep their boundaries. (Tard Happy)

While I agree that people should try and be more courtious to eachother, I usually find the concept of "Political correctness" to be idiotic to say the least. Especially when people like this Maggio woman propose we overhaul the ENTIRE language with nonsense like removing thew word "black" or words containing M-A-N from our everyday language.

Rediculous indeed.

I have found that using politicly correct terms makes things a lot more awkward than simply saying "black", for example. It throws it out there that you don't want to offend them and that you think you will offend them, it's just awkward for everybody.

And FYI, not every black person is an "African American". Like, what do we call black people living in England? African English? I know people that would call them African Americans simply so they don't call them black, even though they aren't American.

I know. I was reading a post on a website about a guy's conversation with an old man in a diner, who started telling him that his son was out in Africa as a missionary, and showed him a picture of 'nineteen african-americans and one caucasian'. African-American? Bullshit, they were just fucking *african*. Besides, what if you're neither african nor american? I'm not offended when somebody says I'm white, and I don't know anybody offended by the term 'black', as long as it's not a slur against them. Just keep it simple, ya morons -.-

I support not being an ***hole.

 

[Ashcrexl]

it's too much work. anything that creates unnecessary work, discomfort, and inefficiency is a piece of crap. even in language.

And 'Big-boned'? That's a lie. It's not politically correct, it's a fucking LIE. Your bones are the same size as everybody else's (obviously, not everybody's exactly the same), you're just fucking FAT. You may have a glandular condition, you may have a polycystic ovary or some other bullshit you kid yourself into believing so you don't have to take responsibility for your unhealthy lifestyle, but the chances are you eat like shit, don't exercise and can't even SPELL 'vegetable', let alone stomach them. Yes, I am aware it's unfair to tar everybody with this brush, but goddamn it, you're an exception, not the rule. Besides, bones aren't jelly-like rolls that spill over your already-bursting trousers.
And if you're fat and this offends you, a) if you're going to whine at me you can go fuck yourself because I am NOT interested, or b) go do something about it and get LESS fat.

This is all coming from somebody who USED to be a big fat guy, got fed up with being a ridiculous waste of protoplasm and being afraid to look in the mirror, got off his ass and did something about it. And it's worked out fucking great for me; I'm well liked, I have a girlfriend who's crazy about me, I can look at myself in a mirror, and I don't have to lie to myself anymore.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I am personally a very politically correct person. Shut up I am! But I would never take away the right for other people to express themselves in the way they see fit.

So yeah, I think removing men and man from some words for political correctness is completely ridiculous. And so is calling stupid people exceptional. And what is with this "blackmail/peyola" thing? Completely and utterly exceptional... I mean stupid.

Like some famous guy said: "I may not agree with everything you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

That has nothing to do with political correctness and everything to do with the existence of the stereotypical "redneck".
