tell me about it. i remember this whole jenner fiasco. i said i didn't agree with it and i was called "close minded"

i kindly reminded these people that you're being just as "close minded" because you don't see that others may have a different opinion than yours.
Don't even get me started on this jenner thing. I'm royally pissed off that he/she/it hasn't been charged with vehicular manslaughter for killing that person by crossing centerline. Talk about privalaged class.

Political correctness could quite literally destroy a country socially one step at a time. I can't even deal with half of college kids these days, I shouldn't have to try and be excessively politically correct. If we all were just straight forward and honest things would be much easier. Ironic that censorship like you said is taking place at universities where new ideas are supposed to flourish, especially in free countries like the US and countries all over Europe that are slowly on their knees because of PC.

It's funny too because "PC" is becoming a derogatory term itself. That's why we need more of it
 
I want to ask what is "Political correctness"? I am serious it is the first time I ever heard of this word. Guess it is true there is no end to learning.

Basically you have to bow down to everyone and can't criticize anyone for anything. The moment you do, you're a bad person.

Right now on CNN:

Trump uses vulger term in Clinton attack. Who cares?? Why is this even news. Jesus
 
Guys, it's really important not to mix up Zoopydoop's Disorder with Transient Type II Zoopydoop's Syndrome.

I mean, the disorders have been carefully defined by their mechanical neurological causes which... what? They haven't? Neuroscience isn't currently advanced enough to identify the causes of these types of psychological disorders? Psychologists define the disorders subjectively based on how they impact social function?

I'm not trying to make light of real psychological disorders, just to be clear. Many people have disabling issues that can be helped by therapy and/or medication. I'm just saying that when you start arguing about what is/is not Disorder 23B you're into a grey area of subjective assessment; Real neuroscience is still a very young field and psychologists have had to work entirely off of behavioral analysis up until now.

We use terms loosely and most people comprehend that. We are not making clinical diagnosis here. Just trying to get ideas across.
