Dear friends!
Please, help me! I?m writing the course work ?The political correctness in English speech countries and Russia?. Your meanings are important for me greatly. I hope, you won?t ignore my questioning and take your opinion. Please!!!!
Questioning:
1.What do you think about Political correctness?
2.Are you politically correct?
3.What are the advantages/disadvantages of political correctness?
Thank you very much.
I know better than to feed what I think are trolls, but in this case I'll spread some Marmite very thinly.
1. Political correctness is a virtue only to be employed by those who don't have the guts to be politically incorrect.
2. I am politically correct in the same sense that the Atlantic Ocean is a big, dry desert.
3. Political correctness is a way of beating around the bush and not actually saying what you mean. It's overrated.
Again, I very much doubt that this isn't a troll, but I shall still dignify it with a response.
And I'll throw in my sound bite as well.
1. Political correctness is a refuge for those with minds too small to face reality.
2. Only when circumstances dictate self-censorship
3. The advantage is that I can hide who and what I am from those that might be mentally incapable of rendering intelligent judgement of my words. The disadvantage is that I am forced to be a hypocrite.

Until then ...
My nation tis in thee
Sweet land where niggardly
Cannot be said.
Land where all prose is trite,
Forced by the not too bright
Who're looking for every slight
Lit'racy is dead.

I'm saving that for my scrapbook! Well done, indeed!
When do you plan to set sail? Or is the trip off?
No definite date but before age 60 which gives me 5 more years to be plundered by the economy.
I'll keep that in mind. ;-)
To even think about being politically correct shows a lack of leadership, personal confidence and fortitude, and that you are now among the ranks of the world greatest liars, cheats and frauds.
Political correctness is for people with know mind of the own so that they may be shown the path to walk by the corrupt.
A very suitable replacement would be speak what you. There is nothing like honesty.
