The Politically Correct Thread

[Gandalf]

This is where I side more with the right despite being a leftist type. I think people should be free to say what they like in the freemarket of ideas. As long as it doesn't become violent or actually hurt someone I don't think it is an issue. You can be sensitive though and I think many have the ability to be so, but at the same time when it leads to an old man like Steve Martin being harrassed for something completely harmless. Well, the PC crowd are the ones being insensitive and needlessly cruel.

On the whole in my day to day life, I self moderate and I am probably quite politically correct because I don't actually want to upset anyone, but put me in with a friend or someone I feel comfortable with and I will say anything for a laugh or prod. I can be the sophist jester king supreme. I find it harder to be provocative now I don't drink. Anything went with old Reggie.
