Do you believe in being "Politically Correct"?  To what degree?

I think political correctness is what is bringing our country down today. Everyone is so afraid of hurting everyone's feelings, no one can really say what they feel anymore.\n\nWhen I was growing up, there was much more cooperation in the nation. You could actually *gasp!* disagree with someone, and it was okay. You felt one way, and your neighbor felt another way. When the debate was over, you rolled up your sleeves and went to work side-by-side to get the work done.\n\nToday, if you disagree with someone, you are a traitor or ignorant or a moron. Just look at some of the things people are saying about me on this website solely because I am a conservative Republican.\n\nThere is no Constitutional guarantee against being offended. If you don't like what someone is saying, so what? Appreciate the difference of opinion - discourse is what made this country great.\n\nPeople need to grow up and stop wearing their emotions on their sleeve.

Whether or not you believe in evolution, etc, you have to admit that in many cases, 'political correctness' does it's very best to hide the truth. It also does alot to silence those who merely seek it.

Don't you just get tired of so-called political correctness?  I know I do.  There is always somebody eager to be offended by everything.

Absolutely.  It's what this country is founded on.  If not everything you said would become subjective.  If the right person didn't like what you said you'd be screwed.  This way we know where the line is.  There isn't one.

I agree with you in principal, and I feel political correctness is a form of "New Age McCarthyism". Unfortunately, the pendulum has swung the other way for now, but it was so badly biased in the past, that this is a natural effect. Hopefully it will find a stasis, and color, race or religion won't matter in the next few generations.

Yes!  It's political correctness gone mad!  Everyone is so obsessed with p.u.s.s.y footing around all the minorities of the world and changing this and that so as not to offend their supposedly fragile sense of self worth.  It makes me mad as Hell to see all of the current beliefs, ideals and interpretations on our own perception of the the world messed with and changed in order to incorporate the views of the few.  We should all stick to what we know and believe in regardless of what others think.

Not really, what's sad (and wrong) in this country is that a public figure can not say what the rest of us are (supposedly) free to say, political correctness is like a pendulum that has swung too far. We have freedom of speech, yet if someone says anything that will offend anyone else, there's a big stink. Political campaign commercials are free to bash and exaggerate negatively about the opponents yet Kerry can't say what a large percentage of us really think? Hell no, he shouldn't apologize.

Just because you are a "pastor" (and mind you, the Episcopal church will accept anyone these days--despite lack of adherance to the fundamental teaching of the Bible) doesn't make you saved in the end. The tree is known by its fruit, and God shall judge accordingly. Yes, he has the freedom to speak, and by his words we can see his agenda--it is very clear.\n\nSo which is better? To be politically correct or biblically correct? It seems that Pastor H. Reed has chosen the way of the world--and we know its destiny.

CHANGE ORGANIZATIONS!  Why wouldn't you be smart enough to NOT put in writing what you felt?  To be politically correct, you  have to play the game....sorry

Well I'm personally very against political correctness at the level it has spiralled to. We must distinguish between statements made in humour, and statements made in order to offend. But I also cringe when I think that some people actually find some of the comedian's material that exploits others disability, sexuality etc funny. Whats going on? A little class is needed. And where do we find it? Bill Bailey. Ironic, when you look at him.

What we call "politically correct" is only one manifestation of the problem.  The real issue is that we've lost touch with what it means to have rights.  We've come to call everything a right (right to healthcare, right to not encounter anything I find offensive, right to a good job, etc.), and in doing so, have diluted the respect Americans once had toward basic human rights.  So, some of us are more politically correct, some of us hate them for it, and all of us act like there is no right or wrong in any of this.
