Not sure what you mean but Wayne put it well:
Sorry for your percieved grievance. I agree with what Wayne said. Not a dodge. I am concerned with the destruction of language and the defence of individuals when they are accused of being not PC for simple matters that pre 1980's were problem free. Look at any child today and see how corrupted they are. Some PC has made progress but it has been hijacked.Nice dodge! Do you think one day you will express what you really think or (from what I see) continue to hide in the shadows of someone elses thoughts/opinions/writings/stories?

Political correctness, imo, started out with noble motives, i.e. to prevent human beings being insensitive and divisive.
But, like many well intentioned ideas, it has gone too far in some areas.
What it has led to, I think, is a greater level of hypocrisy as we watch what we say and how we say it, so as not to be jumped on for being incorrect, while our underlying opinions do not change. Not the greatest basis for a well functioning society imo.
Just a basic philosophy of treating others as we would like to be treated should be enough. Doesn't that cover most of it?
Nonsensical = "1. Lacking intelligible meaning: a nonsensical jumble of words.
2. Foolish; absurd: nonsensical ideas."
See above.
Water off a ducks back = " if criticism is water off a duck's back to someone, it has no effect on them at all."
See above again.
Is that any child?
See above again.
Political correctness has been hijacked?Do you think about what you are going to type much?
An attempt at control.

LOL.

You need to stop flogging that dead horse, seriously.It seems to be about controlling much like the marxist does.
Part of our ability to survive in the past and even now was/is to be able to make conclusions from available information and form stereotypes for future reference and quick reaction to possible danger/reward/opportunity.
We form stereotypes about everything and this includes other people, and other people who have low score card instead of trying to improve cry foul.

So a Marxist is all about the redistribution of wealth and there is no control as a result?You need to stop flogging that dead horse, seriously.

Given the furor over the Red Faces skit on Hey Hey last night I thought it was time to bump this old thread on political correctness.
Is Australia becoming (or is it already) a humourless nation obsessed with political correct thoughts and actions?
Your thoughts please.
I'm getting highly irritated about the leap to take offence these days. There is a whole apology culture that leaps on ANY mention of race, religion or whatever.
I strongly suspect that that is true. However, much of the unthinking masses are dragged into the mindset.Do people really take offense at this stuff or are they just using it as leverage to further their own agenda. ie Kyle sandilands.
