Political Correctness.

I was going to wax lyrical about this dreadful 21st century curse following a couple hours on YouGov this morning. A young women had written that she felt oppressed by PC and unable to truly express herself and that it actually had effected her life in a subtle way leaving her often frustrated at not being able to discuss real life problems.  Briefly, PC had left her at disadvantaged and unhardened to the real world and laid down oppressive rules on her right to free speech. It made me realise that many kids these days are so closeted in mind and spirit through the nanny state and PC that the real world, or the 3/4 of it that is very un PC and really does not care about their felling, can be a terrible shock and that too many of the worlds problems are now shrouded in the Taboo label of UN-PC and so never discussed.

In so many areas of life, in the "first world" we see how PC has brought about a generation really unable to cope with life, or even discuss it.. For example I saw a girl go into melt down recently because the shower had run out of hot water.. Meanwhile downstairs we were watching the plight of the refugees in Somalia. To have given the lady in question a pointed comment in front of her PC mother would have been nearly as bad as shouting shit at the Pope and so the opportunity to correct of at least inform the young lady and give her a more balanced view of life was lost.

In so many areas now PC has stopped us from addressing real problems and made brave people shy away from telling the truth in case they offend or indeed break the law. It is of course fascist and beggars belief that people of intelligence can be so scared of anothers views or comments as to effectively ban free speech. I often wonder how this came about. Probably the sixties when it was "cool" to oppose everything and support nothing but the right to oppose. I for one wish it would dry up and blow away.. PC is really very Stupid, stunts conversation, effect argument and has no place in a modern democracy. Time it went!
