How to be politically correct
-------------------------------
As long as you don't have any prejudices about a group of people then you will be naturally politically correct. The term is mostly popular with those who are hateful and think that being polite to someone is the same thing as surrendering to someone.

Conversation about being politically correct
--------------------------------------------------
Cashier: Happy holidays!

Christian Customer: Don't you mean "merry Christmas"? You don't have to be politically correct.

Cashier: No, this is a grocery store that welcome to all people so we don't assume every person who buys from us to be Christian.

Some Ranter has it spot on. See their definition.
It started out as a morally correct and rational thing, but has gone way too far, just like many things in our society.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a
delusional, illogical, Marxist (Politically Correctly called liberal) 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.
The Politically Correct term for Politically Correct is sensitive.

Facts are Politically Incorrect, that is why we need Postmodern "thinking", that is lying elevated into a form of art.

Political Correctness has successfully outsourced censorship to private enterprises.

Something that, through social activity, proves that the United States citizens are slowly losing their freedoms. It is also a joke to try to use weasel words so to make sure nobody gets offended when, in the end, everything still is the same. Political correctness is also targeted only selected groups, which shows it's just another political play with racism and hatred.
Political Correctness in action...
Normal person: "That new movie 1408 looks good, plus it has good actors in it, too. I think that Samuel L. Jackson is one of the best black actors in Hollywood."
Politically correct person: "What?! How dare you use the B-word?! He's not the bad B-word, he's African American."
Normal person: "Um...o...k. Anyway, I also like John Cusack. He's one of my favorite white actors in Hollywood."
Poltically correct person: "Yeah, he's a pretty good actor."

politically correctness is often used to force someone else to comply with YOUR thinking. Example: Bill Clinton imposed a SIN TAX because HE/THEY could. Being extreme liberal, this was allowed to slide. Georgia's Governor Sonny Perdue ( a republican tax and spend Liberal ) passed a sin tax of his own and banned smoking in the work place, including large manufactoring plants, and any public gathering. He also manipulated the state worker's insurance to charge them an extra 40 dollars per month as punishment.

Now, I said all this.... Still paying attention***

Now the PC target is OBESITY. They have already change the thinking as to what is obese. What used to be twice normal body weight is now just 20 lbs. over normal body weight. Just 20 pounds overweight and someone will shout at you in McDonalds for eating a big mac. (This is already happening).

Soon, those 20lbs overweight will be paying more for airline tickets, health insurance, and the list goes on.

Then what will be next??? Blondes?? Brunettes?? Redheads?? or maybe those who have body odor.

Political Correctness is what will divide the USA again. There will be another split. Conservatives vs Liberals and the hot button issue is Political Correctness. Mark my words, people are talking about it.

Political Correctness - The ideal that forces people, through peer-pressure, to use certain words or act in a certain way as to not cause offence to anyone.

Taking the idea of equality to the extreme.

Often championed by the BBC, who not only use politically correct terms, but often use the "token black man/token female" in many programmes and features.

A tool frequently used by New Labour.

The eradicator of free-speech.

The root of everything that is wrong with society today.
A shot-arse is not "physically challenged", he/she is a short arse.
A dumbass is not "mentally challenged", he/she is a dumbass.
A binman is not a "refuse collector", he/she is a binman.
A postman is not a "letter carrier", he/she is a postman.
The loser in a boxing match did not "finish second place", he/she lost!

Political Correctness is a plague on modern society.

A bunch left wing, communist bullshit, implemented by the left in a shitfucked attempt to control what others say. A typical advocate of "PC" is identified by the following characteristics.
1. The inability to think for themselves.

2. The inability to speak for themsleves.

3. The gross inabilty to let anyone else express a differing point of view without shouting "You can't say that!" You can't say that"! like some idiotic communist parrot.

4. The use of meaningless 20 syllable words in a vain attempt to sound "educated" when a 3 syllable word word would work perfectly.

5. Numerous bruises and scars, as a result of being told to Fuck Off and getting punched out by the targets of thier Speech Police tactics.
