What do you think of overall political correctness? I feel that people have been going overboard with the stuff lately and that people need to get over some stuff. I've never even thought of the term Oriental was in any way offensive or ... whatever. I could care less about dumb stuff like that.. ._. There's so much worse out there, and it sure as heck doesn't stop racist people and other generally hateful people say even worse things, and little can be done about that it seems. Why push it overboard and be completely a**l about it even more?

I mean, sure. I'll still comply with the more politically correct terms to not only avoid offending anyone over something as insignificant as words, but also to respect people with the politically correct term. Example, my previous topic titled, "Happy Holidays". But... yeah. I just feel that people are being ridiculously oversensitive lately.

What do you guys think of political correctness and oversensitivity?

I think it's retarded. Yes I said retarded. Not Mentally Oppressive or whatever the proper term is. Mentally Handicapped, actually, I think. But of course, I'm referring to the government's focus on issues and not people with problems.

I hate political correctness. I don't like how you can't say Merry Christmas anymore even though it wasn't a big deal a while ago.

Not sure if it counts but I remember being yelled at students (I think teachers too) when I said "Oh my God". I mean seriously.

I say Merry Christmas to everyone.

Not Christian and offended? F*** you. I wish you Merry Christmas. Don't celebrate it? Merry Christmas to you.

Lynch me.

good to know someone doesn't care or give a hoot blaugh

as for my opinion in being political correctness:
i think it's ok in moderation, but to much of it and i won't really understand what a person is trying to say. it's just confusing sometimes sweatdrop
merry christmas and happy holidays to you all. biggrin

I think people just need to chill and not take stuff so seriously. Especially over things that the government seems to blow out of proportion.
