Reply #58: In all honesty, about the only times I hear "anti-PC" comments [View All]

are when they are coupled with some nasty generalization about one group or other of people.

There was a time in the eighties when there actually was a PC issue - when some college campuses tried to codify (rules/regulations) behavior that was inoffensive - to the point of absurdity. Most of that was turned back for more common sense solutions.

Since then, there isn't really an issue - since "censorship" implies some entity editing out content - and generally when the issue is brought up, it isn't about real censorship (eg a newspaper, a govt rule/reg meant to stifle speech, and employer stifling employee speech, etc.,) - generally it is used in regular conversation - as a "get out of jail card" used before saying something really obnoxious - or said just afterwords after the statement has been made.

Just an observation.
