Or maybe it's just under-25s.  I think that's actually been proven.  But it could be a combination. -_-

What does it matter what goes on in peoples minds, all that matters is how people conduct themselves in the public space.

I'm getting a chuckle out of the PC posters struggling with the question.  :P
It's very difficult I'm generally PC. It's just having good manners.

I'd also say in the UK there's definitely two brands of political correctness. One is what we're all talking about roughly. Then there's another which is basically whatever someone speaking happens to disagree with - normally speed cameras or health and safety - which they boldly preface with a declaration that it's not very politically correct, but...

I wonder if Yi counts me as PC or not. :hmm:

I vote no.

I think you might have to spend some time north of the Mason Dixon to really drink from the fountain of PC.

It might be good manners, but it also surrenders the dialogue in western civilization to unserious waterheads, who definitely don't have the best interests of civilization at heart.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Buddah's going to be pissed.

I think that most forms of variants sexuality should still be considered paraphilic disorders.  While I'm not suggesting that homosexuals should be persecuted or treated differently, I still think it fits the criteria of a paraphilic disorder at it is a variant behavior that causes difficulties for person both mentally and physically.  I also think that since homosexuality is something you are born with, parents will have a choice if their children will be homosexual or not in the future and it will become extremely uncommon.

The rational utility-maximixing option would seem at first blush to be bisexuality.

Being by would just double the number of people you can be rejected by.  No thanks.

I would rather give money to an animal shelter than a homeless shelter.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

That's not un-PC at all.  That's simply the right thing to do.

I get that.  Homeless shelters don't gas the homeless.  In, uh, modern America at least.
