RE: Political Correctness, From a Strictly Extraterrestrial Point of View

in #life8 years ago

Great post. "Vulgar" language is a great use of art but like any art should be used selectively to quantify the emotion. If you cuss every other word, it's not unacceptable, but it's makes someone sound unintelligent. PC culture problems get even worse when it involves certain cultures or values. I think in today's society it is much easier to curse then to try and state generalized facts. If people generalize one thing that a group/culture does, then they are literally publicically humiliated. This quiets other opinions that may have valuable facts to present. The opposite of a free society. We live in a world of lemmings that bow to mass media or are at least hushed by them. It's not politics; it's socialization.

Sort:  

I think this quote says it all : "I respect your right to make a fool of yourself" Even if someone wants to curse a lot at risk of sounding unintelligent as you said, they should do so, there is absolutely no reason to reduce other people's speech :)
