You basically implied that you want to call handicapped people 'defective' for the sake of not being PC.

You're always accusing people of implying this and implying that when nine times out of ten you have either got the wrong end of the stick or you twist to suit.

I didn't imply anything.I just gave you the topic to discuss.

But incase you hadn't caught on.The guy in the video is a comedian.He uses humour in with genuine points to get his message accross.

You have use a little common sense to seperate the humour from the serious message he's putting forward.

I'm glad you cleared that up. Your caption you wrote before the video in the OP suggested that you agreed with everything the comedian said.

Do you have any input on the topic?
My only input really is that I think this guy is taking these hyper-PC people a lot more seriously than the average person, and thats his issue. Hes just another angry voice. I cant imagine the average self-proclaimed PC person would use these terminologies, him believing that they do just seems naive on his part.

I think he has a point.There are people who want to police language in this way and other people who are so scared they're going to offend people that they adhere to this rubbish.
People should be free to use language how they like and let experience,conscience and common sense dictate how they use language in future.
Not have people try to tell you what you're allowed to say.
You might inadvertently say something that offends somebody and then think 'oh ****,I won't say that to them again' but you've learned from your mistake.
On the other hand the next guy might not be offended and possibly be more offended by you pussy footing round them thinking of stupid long winded phrases to say.Thus treating them differently.
Policing language is really only one step away from policing thought.It shouldn't be a thing in a free democratic society.
It's not too dis-similar to blasphemy laws in middle eastern countries.
There's something going on in Canada at the moment with a new bill to amend the human rights act for transgenders.Basically if you disagree that terms like 'non binary' or 'gender fluid' are real then you can get in trouble for hate crime or if you don't use 'gender pronouns' like 'ze' or 'zir' instead of he or she then you could land in trouble.
A law forcing people to use certain words is dictatorial.This is what happens when political correctness goes too far.

And thanks

I didn't catch on because he isn't funny.
He's yet another entitled arsehole who wants to be able to refer to anyone as whatever he wants to and is butt-hurt that he "isn't allowed to" spout his ignorance freely any more, so now he's whiiiinnneeeiiiinnnggg about it. Whining like a li'l bitch. And trying to mask that under a facade of bitter, jaded, joyless "humor" like so many of his ilk. Sad.
