"Define 'PC culture' if being polite & considering others , avoiding causing offence just by being a little more thoughtful stifles debate, then things are worse than I thought" That’s not PC culture you’re talking about manners, which are a good thing obviously. | |||

"Should have done a cock thread instead "Yup. Political stuff like this, esoecially when uninformed, simply serves to rule you out of consideration from the 50% of people who disagree. The simple lesson is; don't mix politics and swinging. Unless you're happy to alienate the 50% of people who disagree with the political stance. It's certainly not something single guys should do, considering how hard it is for them to get meets. | |||

"Can't say boo to someone without them getting offended now there even fine men for wolf whistling now lol Boo" which is manners...or lack of. Why should a person feel uncomfortable simply because another can't simply think in their head 'Wow, they look attractive'...or similar. | |||

I disagree with you there, years ago you couldn't walk past a building site without men whistling and calling stuff out. It used to be horrible. Now they behave themselves and most of them keep their bottoms in their trousers too. | |||

"Wolf whistling is just compliment really sure some women might feel embarrassed by it but I'm sure there's plenty that love the fact the guys think there attractive especially if they put effort into the way they looked that day it's harmless fun really" Not everyone finds that compliment non threatening, non creepy, some will love it, many will not. Polite to just keep it to yourself. | |||

"PC culture stifles debate, closes down arguments and it usually comes from the left, usually cause there is complexity to everything and they like to simply things down to just good or bad. True or false" Nah! Pc culture can open up debate and get people looking at, and questioning things in slightly more depth. It can highlight the complexities of an issue and yes, sometimes make an issue more complicated than it needs to be! People don't like being forced to look at things in colour and having their prejudices pointed out to them but, that is what the "PC brigade" do. Some of it is bollocks though! Some take it a tad to far! Most fanatics are twats! The only thing that stifles debate is denying someone the opportunity to bring their opinion to the table. | |||

Is the idea that there actually is a PC Brigade who are powerful enough to stop people saying what they like? It's amazingly paranoid and hilarious isn't it?!?!
It's a term that's been so misused and repeated by so many idiots that it doesn't even mean anything anymore.
It's just something to shout into the internet. | |||

That’s the thing though - if being “PC” really just means vaguely being a decent person and treating others well, I don’t get the negative connotations implied by terms like “PC Brigade”. Similarly, why are liberals treated with contempt by so many, given that being liberal essentially means believing in things like fairness and equality? | |||

"PC culture stifles debate, closes down arguments and it usually comes from the left, usually cause there is complexity to everything and they like to simply things down to just good or bad. True or false" Putting the nonsense phrase ‘PC culture’ to one side, it tends to be the exact opposite of what you are describing. There are some people - who tend to sit on the right of the political spectrum - who cannot deal with the fact that the world is a more complicated place than they were brought up to believe. Take the recent debates on gender and sexuality; it’s those who use terms like ‘PC brigade’ who struggle with the idea that not everyone fits into the pigeon-holes they’ve got in their heads, and that everyone should have equal recognition, and equal rights. I’d be interested to see a single time when tolerance and acceptance closed down a genuine debate. | |||

I am an old lefty and I agree that people who bang on about pc culture and such like are just inane. However, I think it's mistaken to not to recognize there are closed minds on all sides of the political spectrum. A good example is the transgender issue. It's quite difficult to question the left orthodoxy on that issue without being subjected to ad hominun attacks. | |||

"PC culture stifles debate, closes down arguments and it usually comes from the left, usually cause there is complexity to everything and they like to simply things down to just good or bad. True or false Putting the nonsense phrase ‘PC culture’ to one side, it tends to be the exact opposite of what you are describing. There are some people - who tend to sit on the right of the political spectrum - who cannot deal with the fact that the world is a more complicated place than they were brought up to believe. Take the recent debates on gender and sexuality; it’s those who use terms like ‘PC brigade’ who struggle with the idea that not everyone fits into the pigeon-holes they’ve got in their heads, and that everyone should have equal recognition, and equal rights. I’d be interested to see a single time when tolerance and acceptance closed down a genuine debate." | |||

"Only people who complain about “PC going mad” are, who find that they have lost the free pass to be rude and cause offence. Exactly. As they always use "why can't I call a black man a nigger?" as their usual example. " Can we get a show of hands for those wishing to claim this word back under the banner of freedom of speech.? There are no bigger snowflakes than those whining about this imaginary PC culture, which in reality is human decency and respect. | |||

"True, that is what is killing the world slowly, the left have taken over." Where? Trump in America? Tories here? Macron? Austrian far right? Polish far right? New Italian twats? If you think "the left" is some insidious power controlling society from the shadows. It probably says more about you than the real world. | |||

I’d be interested to see a single time when tolerance and acceptance closed down a genuine debate. Tolerance and acceptance is fine as long as it comes from both sides of the political spectrum. But ‘politically correct mob rule based on arrogance, self importance and a sense of superiority over someone who has a different opinion than you stifles debate. These people often enjoy berating and castigating others to feel superior. Some of these liberals are now the conservative oppressors they used to oppose. Seems to me the things you are allowed to say narrows all time and subjective opinion is now supposed to be taken as fact. This

And yet you don’t seem to be able to think of anything you are not allowed to say.

""Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences"...Chelsea Clinton." While I don’t disagree with the intent of your post, you should note that, a) it should read freedom FROM consequences, and b) Chelsea Clinton has spoken about it, but did not come up with the idea, in either its correctly or incorrectly worded forms. | |||

""Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences"...Chelsea Clinton." People seem very loved up on these trite notions at the moments. My issue is when opinions are quashed and outlawed by overly basic consensus and the complexity of things is erased or ignored from the discussion. Genderpaygap is a good example ...a complex issue boiled down to a misleading average for public consumption. | |||
