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. |

Since when did severe appearance deficit sound better and less offensive than ugly - it sounds worse. The world really has gone mad.

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 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. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 23-04-2017 at 10:38 PM. |

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 |

Seems like there is just more of a common sense approach to language instead of a PC culture that dictates language to me. And this is evident because non-PC people also reframe from some words to avoid insulting others. Culture will change, and language will adapt, and I dont think this has anything to do with political correctness, its just that all people (PC, non-PC, and everyone inbetween) wants to avoid insulting others where they can.

PC is for control freaks and/or lap dogs who can't think for themselves and need 'encouragement' to think the 'right' way according to those who have nothing better to do but come up with ridiculous 'replacement' names for perfectly reasonable ones. There were some awful words used in the past such as mongols, cretins and spastics and the use of such words was phased out, and rightly so, but handicapped and many others used today are perfectly reasonable words. Of course people shouldn't be able to just blatantly offend people with the use of offensive words but the replacement of perfectly acceptable words such as handicapped for physically defective is sheer stupidity. Defective is a horrible word - I would rather be called physically handicapped, if disabled, than physically defective. Another word increasingly being used is 'challenged' i.e. Physically challenged which I would put on a par with 'incapable' or 'useless' which personally I find much more offensive. Each to their own but the point being the words being 'replaced' are not offensive words - just some trying to exert their opinion over others by the use of dubious methods. People have to challenge such nonsense just as PC attempts to challenge the establishment - we can't have one rule for one and another for another can we.
