What is P.C.

[Jemisa]

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of sh!t by the clean end."

Polical Correctness (according to my friend) is a form of cultural Marxism. He might have a point there..

[FredPuli43]

Cultural Marxism? Is that different from cultural fascism ? Which part of Marx's doctrine brings political correctness to mind ?

(Sorry, can't answer the OP because I don't understand it. May we have it in plain English ?)

Lovely imagery

If a spade can call a spade a spade, then why can't a shovel call a spade a spade?

[MarkRae]

The problem starts when you call a spade a statistic...

[jake-the-peg]

So you dont believe in being politically correct?

you're fine with calling people n!gger$ are you?

what's the difference between that and PC?

PC is just a tag for terminology used to avoid offending people when you don't think they should be offended by the word.

In other words it's the 'everbody should think like me' syndrome

[Svejk]

Are you,in fact saying every-one should think like JTP, JTP?
You seem to be talking about good manners. Personally, I'm all for good manners, but I wouldn't expect to set the standard for other people. (And prosecute people who didn't reach my arbitrary standards)

[China Doll]

Is this because your racist jokes got removed?

[ummmm]

She will still carry on posting them!

[Canary42]

PC, like H&S, is a label frequently mis-applied to the defences which have to be used against the ravages of the ever-invasive "Blame and Claim" Brigade.

[sandyRoe]

'PC' is simply a phrase to describe good manners.

//Yep, bring back the day of latent racism when you could be rude about people as much as you like.//

Legislation doesn’t educate people, it doesn’t change the way they think and it doesn’t cure the problem – it simply stifles it and allows it to fester.

[ummmm]

I think the point is that Jem posts racist jokes without a seconds thought for who her audience is.

I'm not saying she is racist, I giggled at some of them, but I wouldn't tell them to a room full of people while I was blind folded.

Jem, Political Correctness works one way in the UK, If it was said the other way around you would get put inside like a friend of mine did a few years ago.

[jake-the-peg]

That's because racial abuse tends to work one way in the UK

When did you last see black football supporters taunting white players?

[Mick-Talbot]

I have no problem being un-PC and the company I keep has no problem being un-PC.

But there is a vast difference between to me sat round a table with friends making un-PC jokes and comments and me broadcasting these comments on a forum. (These friends are both black & white)

Love your jokes,Jem. Don't let 'them' grind you down.
