[Artemisia] political correctness

[Kevin Tucker]

Let me add that political correctness now means bending over backwards to not offend anyone - anywhere - ever. An impossibility I might add.
   
  I agree that there are some words which should not be uttered. Ive taught my kids that stupid when used in referrence to a person is a bad word. The N-word mentioned earlier is also one that could go away. 
   
  Case in point:
  What about Christmas. Its been Christmas for generations. Im christain and Im not offended by Ramadan (propably spelled incorrectly) Which is a Muslim holiday. Live and let live and quit worrying about being offensive except in the most extreme circumstances. If no offense is meant then take none.
   
  Just my 2 cents.

I know that is the general belief but it is not what
political correctness really is. Political
correctness is nothing more than demonizing anybody
that disagrees with an idea that a group wants to make
mainstream. It is nothing more than attacking the
person rather than the idea being expressed.
