What’s wrong with 'PC'?

First topic message reminder :

Republican presidential contender Donald Trump is making the anti-PC stand his presidential campaign platform.  If he’s going to turn the 2016 electoral campaign into a devotional against PC, we ought to have some introspection into what we mean by the term.  PC stands for “politically correctness”.  Wiki defines it as:

Wiki wrote:…pejorative term used to criticize language, actions, or policies seen as being excessively calculated to not offend or disadvantage any particular group of people in society.

Certainly to be “correct”, or to “not offend” is ordinarily not objectionable.  Conservatives, most of all, argue that there should be order and people should follow proper procedures.  And we have manners, after all.  And even raucous white supremacists might agree to refrain from urinating in the corner of the dining room.  In sum, it’s okay to be correct in certain circumstances.

And we don’t find talking politics objectionable.  We do that all the time on this website.  ISIS?  UKIP?  Tea Party?  LW, or lefties?  RW, or righties?  Privatization?  Gaza? Benefits?  Austerity?  Voter suppression?  We talk about politics all the time.  We may hurl epithets back and forth at one another, but we don’t need a separate concept to do that.  Why waste the time objecting to PC?

The only word I see in the definition above that stands out, is “excessively”.  So, if its only ‘excessive’ that we object to, are we speaking only about degrees?  You mean this whole concept of PC that has Donald Trump at the head of the Republican polls in American, distills down to only degrees?  It’s like someone is saying: “You can shout, but don’t be ‘excessively’ loud”.  

That explanation is much too lightweight...flighty.  I think there is more in the gut when we laugh at objets PC.  Here's what I think: When we were boys, we used to love to go around upsetting the ordinary…the proper.  Farting in church was only small time.  We used to toilet paper (called 'tp'-ing) whole houses.  Once, in high school, the rowdy boys disassembled a car and rebuilt it on the roof of the gym.  As a freshman at Dartmouth University, my brother’s friends used to wire urinals to deliver shocks to boys peeing (did you know that Sulphur conducts electricity?).  Yes, there is an adolescent spirit in all of us that likes the bad-boy pranks.

And that is the instinct that I believe motivates the anti-PC crowd.  Shock-value, plain and simple.  Trump supporters love to diss Hispanics—it’s so hilarious to be able to say…get back to Mexico, you wetback!  And a sanctified war hero like John McCain…let’s light a firecracker under his shoes and watch him limp with that bum leg he got.  And women…those self-righteous twats have been preaching correctness all our lives...serves ‘em right, Megyn Kelly.

That’s the fire under Donald Trump.  Anybody got a better theory about what PC is?  Or what Donald Trump is saying?

No, harpies is very apt Fake Eddie

didge...last post on page 3 of this....some advice.....

Very good advice Vic.
Don't come unarmed if you're going to start a battle.

Some of us Harpies are bloody smart.

harpies tend to attack in swarms and are ranged magic users
to combat them you will need ranged combat specialists in your party, like demonic wralocks, fire or frost mages, ranger/hunter or vengeance druids types are also very good at combating these menaces to the honest traveler.

It is inadvisable for tanks to engage these characters unless accompanied by a healer such as a priest, or preferably a restoration druid (due to the ability of resto druids to make large heals instantly and also keep up a constant low level heal on the go  over time)  It should be noted that holy paladins are NOT a good choice of healer for harpie encounters due to their inability to sustain constant heals over time.

It should also be remembered that armor level is largely irrelevant unless you have high level armor that is magic resistant.

all potions and buffs should be used when and as available

for WOW players death knights are an excellent choice for use against harpies, their anti magic buffs and abilities coupled with their ability to self heal makes them a formidable defence against harpie incursions.

Well the last time I was having a discussion with you on this subject you were claiming the grooming all went on unhindered because of PC bullshit. You were actually on the same page as Tommy and the others.

Have you changed your mind again?

Absolutely - again

perhaps the dictionary definition of PC should be "enforced" (dont ask me how) and its boundaries set.....then a bit of faith could perhaps be reinstated in to it......
as it is its both a danger and a laughing stock....

Yes, I don't know how you would enforce it either. By definition, it is somewhere in between hard laws and simple etiquette. How would you enforce it...harsh stares?

It is what it is. Frankly, all of the talk comes from the Right, who don't like the implied criticism. They are the ones who always come back with iconoclastic criticism.

That is because you are so easy to wind the shit out of.
I tend not to give a flying when debating with you as you that insignificant.
I stopped taking such an idiot seriously a very long time ago, espcially one that is a defender of extremists


Its more about taking the piss out of you.


And every time like the pathetic idiot that you are you bite everytime

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Funny how the defender of PC is the most un-PC amongst us all.

You need to get that sand out of your vagina Didge and stop being so cranky.

Why are you obsessed with the female anatomy?
Is it due to a lack of interaction?

Also let me know when you want to debate the post I responded to yours or is this your usual asubmission.

Luckily for you, people like Eddie got it completely. So don't really care what you think.
