Politically correct? Sick of it or love it?

[LadyGunivere]

I have noticed over the few years on this Earth that I have been that the US and other nations are slowly gravitating to a "Politcally correct" society.. My opinion I don't like it. You can't say certain things almost nothing without offending some group or some individual. You can't walk around like a normal human being and still be worried that the begger down the street isn't some guy playing an act. Oh yes we've studied about that. It's just certain things like this that make me wonder...

What is the rest of the world thinking about this and why have we become so "tip-toe" around everybody to not offend them?

Anymore I don't understand how public schools can actually encourage people to get pregenant so early...The high school I use to go to has a 13 yr old preganant by a 24 yr old or 26? It shocks me to say the least. Anymore I don't watch tv cause there is usually nothing good on. I couldn't tell you really much as to what is going on in the world. But I could tell you that the way the world is turning to here I am saddened. I pray everynight for the world. I am a student nurse and learning by far more than I ever could know about the wonders of the human body and mind. The only part of us that makes our personality is only 3 cm thick and is called the cerebral cortex and to be honest we are stilling learning about the human body and mind.

Now that I've ranted I'm sorry but enjoy the rest of the topic. God Bless all that read.

Whatever happened to "constuctive criticism"? You're right, it is getting bad out there, and I am tired of being careful not to step on people's toes.

A long time ago I heard the phrase "accept yourself for who you are" and thought "Well now that doesn't give much room for self improvement does it?"

I agree with you Lady G. People need to be true to God, their family and themselves.

I am a politically uncorrect person myself.

I try to always respect people and use my manners that were instilled in me as a child. But as for things that I believe in and things that I believe are wrong I tend to say what I think and don't give a rip who approves of me....or not.

People I have known a long time respect that about me. My kids laughingly say nobody ever has to worry about where I stand , just ask me and I'll sure tell you.

I'm not a mean person I have a genuine love for people. I just say what I believe and you can agree .....or not

If we could disband the ACLU we would probably get most of our rights as Christians back. I guess I've never been hung up on being "politcally correct" just straight-forwrd and as honest as possible. (My wife makes me be as tactful as she can though). God Bless

In my opinion, it has been part of Satan's plan for several years/decades now to create a coerced but self-imposed thought police force.

It all ties to the need to stop truth from being spoken. It has been done so subtly that most of us didn't see it coming until it was too late already. As with most of Satan's lies it began with something that could stand some improving and then it quickly deteriorated. There were words that should not be used and those set the stage for "You shall not surely die" which was to follow.

I agree. Pc or politically correct speech is part of a movement with very specific objectives.

In general it is disdainful of anything overtly religious, "spirituality" is wonderful, but of course if you actually believe anything it is a problem and Christianity is of course held with disdain. The "program" is focused on a value neutral society, there is no good or bad, no evil or good, only situational ethics, you cannot say really anything is bad, you can say it is not a healthy choice, but you cannot say that it is immoral. Morality itself is seen as wrong.

Just one example, to say that having sex outside of marriage is immoral is wrong; to say someone who has sex blatantly outside of marriage is sinning and is immoral is of course a horrible thing to say and judgmental. But who that does is hurt young people who will find out soon enough the danger and damage that having sex outside of marriage can cause.

This kind of attitude is the reason that one out of every three babies born in the US is born a bastard child. Of course simply stating that fact is considered horribly judgmental.

Well I can't say whether I love it or hate it...but I am happy that people don't run around using the "N" word on a regular basis...or that women dont *frequently* get called names simply for being a woman....there are many more examples but its late and i dont feel like writing them all out.

You've proven my point. That N word was a horrible thing to use... and it was removed (except for use by blacks among themselves) very quickly from public life.

How do you extrapolate from that evil to my being evil if I say I have a pet dog (not that I do but you get my drift here) and say so. Why must my DOG be an animal companion? It is a dog; it is a pet. Where is the problem? and this is cited as a problem by PETA

As with everything Satan does, it leads to foolish excess.

Sorry darski but the N word didn't leave quickly - It is still being used in the south, just kept low key. And PETA is absolutely ridiculous of an organization what a bunch of weirdos. (oops) I mean normal behavior challenged homo sapiens.

To be politically correct is most often a way to ban truth in the guise of good manners. It is a means to a political end.
