Okay, that's a good proposition I guess. First, let me ask you if it was the way people treat each other in Iraq that made you realize this, because
from what I have read, not being there myself, is that the just love to cut each other up before shooting them at the rate of a couple of dozen a day.
So, I figure that must be politically correct over there.
But I don't think that's what you mean...I think you must mean that not being able to vent against particular religions, or persons of unusual
sexual preferences.
Political correctness is a bunch of laws enacted to protect minorities, right? If I'm wrong, let me know, because I'm just wondering why you say
what you do. It isn't just some kind of group mentality or something, because that would never stop anybody from doing or saying whatever they
want.
Iori_komei- you said you would say something regardless if it offends someone. If you did and then they said what was on their mind about you saying
that, would that be all of it then? Would you just smile, say good day, sir, and go on your way or could something go from saying to doing?
Just what is the opposite of political correctness anyways?
I have an idea...pretend I'm one of "those people" you don't like... who am I, what do I look like, where did I come from and what politically
incorrect thing would you like to say or do to me?
