It's common knowledge that "a liberal", "liberals", and "all liberals" all mean different things and it depends on context whether or not a person belongs in or is one of them or all of them.kris40k said:Be careful of the word "all", hyperbole doesn't help your case.Cold Shiny said:According to all liberals, yes, yes it does.
Wow, it's so amazing to look at a forum and learn that I held an opinion I wasn't even aware of.Cold Shiny said:According to all liberals, yes, yes it does.
Yeah, protect free speech by destroying a mindset you disagree with. That's how it works.Madmatty said:Political correctness is a cancer that destroys free speech I'm not saying we should not eliminate genuine hatred wherever we find it but political correctness should also be eliminated
If your mindset is that you should be able to limit free speech, you lose the right to claim to use it when people rise up against you. It's kinda like slavery, if you think it is your right to deny others their rights as free people it is to protect, not damage human rights to take your right to own slaves away from you.erttheking said:Yeah, protect free speech by destroying a mindset you disagree with.

That's actually the dictionary definition. I would say if its not an adequate definition, you need to find another word. Maybe try 'acceptance'. I think there was a South Park about the difference between tolerance and acceptance. Tolerant Camps and a Museum of Acceptance. I'll try to find what episode it was...also someone got a hamster shoved up his ass if I remember correctly.evilthecat said:But pointing this out is being intolerant towards those who have "politically correct" opinions. Therefore, making this argument or being opposed to political correctness in any form also makes you a bigot.Silentpony said:Actually its the exact opposite. Being Politically correct makes you a bigot. A bigot defined as "a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions". So I'd argue that political correctness, which tries to control the way you talk, is its intolerant of people who don't subscribe to political correctness. Which is a form of bigotry.
The problem here is you have an inadequate definition..
Anti PC, sure. But those people are decidedly involved in the debate. I'm talking about Non-PC. People who are not PC, don't want to be PC, don't care about PC, but won't stop anyone from being PC or voicing their opinion.Gaymaster Nacelle said:Why? Anti-PC zealots like this absolutely do exist.
PC = you should be able to limit free speech? I'm getting told a lot of things about political correctness and, according to a certain poster higher up, how I apparently think. Kind of feels like people are making things up as they go on what it is and how it works.Dreiko said:If your mindset is that you should be able to limit free speech, you lose the right to claim to use it when people rise up against you.

It's because it's a lot easier to parse supporting a president who frequently spouts racist nonsense if he's just "telling it like it is" and "sticking it to The Man."KissingSunlight said:I was noticing that conservatives and liberals were describing Donald Trump's controversial comments differently. People who were for Trump described them as being "politically incorrect" while liberals against Trump were calling them "racist".
Oh yeah, no. Not at all what I meant to say. There are total shitheels on both sides of the pro/anti PC divide, absolutely. And both sides could be considered bigoted. Its just the non-PC people who wash their hands of the whole business I consider to not be bigots.Gaymaster Nacelle said:Ah ok, I thought you were doing like a "Christians always try to push, but atheists are logical and tolerant" thing - ok then.Silentpony said:Anti PC, sure.

Strange as it sounds, there really are people who don't give a fuck and just want to be left alone. Really.
This. I tend to find it's always the people that embrace this label are always super confrontational and shit. They're also people that claim they're "telling it like it is"Worgen said:No but it might make you a jerk. I've known a few people who used it as an excuse to just be a douche.
