Political correctness
 

Seems each week we have a new post about one of these taboo words. Why?
Yeah you or someone you know may be a (insert random new bad word). Honestly though does it really matter?

We see these all the time.
Model - whore, skank, slut, or often stupid skanky slut etc.
Homosexual - fag, faggot, cocksucker, ass packer.
Over weight - fat, obese, lard ass, average webmaster (sorry couldnt resist)
Hispanic - spick, mexican, wetback.
Black - ******s, negro, neggar

Im sure you all have plenty more.

I am personally in a wheelchair, now I am personally fond of the word gimp. Primarly because it so easily offends people. Yet if I wanted to go PC I could not even keep up with what I am. I know it was handicapped but that was axed, then dissabled, then some nut job started calling us handicapable or upwardly mobile. What the fuck are those? Why not vertically challenged, opps uses challenged cant have that, it is after all why the stoped using physically challenged.

And if you can not say physically challenged because it uses challenged, then why should we call someone mentally challenged, isnt that hypocritical political correctness? By the way do they issue us memos when what we are has been renamed?

A word can only be as damaging as you allow it to be. Its a fucking word people. Get over your personal sensitivity.

...you left out escorpio's favorite - BEANER! Honestly, you gotta laugh at that silly shit, not give it power. The first time I ever heard "dune coon" was an Iranian friend responding to "sand ******", as in "Is that the best you can do? That shit is played out! I'm a DUNE COON, asshole, get off your sister, get out of the trailer and get some new material!" Should seen the look on Bubba's face! uh,oh!... no offense to any inbreds out there who may be named "Bubba." It's just an expression.

Shut up you fucking cripple. Nobody cares what you have to say!

While I'm with you on silly substitutions like "challenged" for "handicapped" or "crippled," or "African American" for "black," a word like "whore" or "skank" has no nonoffensive use as a descripter of a living person.

Unlike "handicapped" or "black," the word "skank" or "slut" can't adequately be defined without noting the fact that they are tems of sheer contempt or disgust.

As a guy who's pretty libertarian himself, I don't think anyone who's baring his ignorance and inner ugliness by using such terminology should be banned, but I see no particular harm in giving such airhead and punks a swift kick in the intellectual nuts.

What is PC for a Pimp or a Dog that is repeatedly kicked to the curb and continues to return to only be kicked to the curb again?

PC, is reform for the illiterate!

The use of "skank" or "slut" have there place, as you are correct they are terms of sheer contempt/disgust, so feel free to give me a swift kick.

I was commenting on the implication that they are somehow just other words for "model." They are not. By contrast, many people who are well-meaning will use out-of-favor terms like "handicapped" or "crippled" instead of "challenged." There is no well-intentioned way to call a female a "skank" or "slut." Kick yourself for not "getting" what I was saying. You are obviously "comprehensionally challenged."

Give me a clue?????

I think I got what you were saying. I agree that that there is not any well-intentioned way to call a female a "skank" or a "slut" thus they are applied for a reason. "Models" who are female and pose in the nude are not exactly upstanding "ladies" and those that are "Models" for hardcore are "skanks" and "sluts", thus the two words are appropriate.

Oh, the irony of it all.

Well, the softcore models I work with are very nice girls for the most part, just a bit exhibitionistic. What you said about the hardcore girls underlines my (very unpopular on this board) view that girls who turn that corner will suffer from the "slut" label. Funny how a girl can pose naked, finger herself, use toys, stick a finger way up her ass, urinate, and have sex with girls and she's still a "model." Suck one cock, and she's a "slut." This is why I tell the girls to stay away from boys in this business.

Most of the time though, the person being called a "Fag" really isn't one, the term is only meant to demean that particular person and no one else.


Same with "Retard". Same with any word used like that. Is saying "Are you fucking blind?" a slur against blind people? I don't fucking think so.



God, we can't even insult each other without first checking with the "politically correct" fucking HANDBOOK.


I suppose the whole "For Dummies" set of how-to books is a slur against people of lesser intel? (Should I have been offended all these years?)

No she is a "slut" and some sluts are "skanks".

They are a slur? Hell...I didn't know that. Now I am offended. Tomorrow is going to be my official book burning day. I think I will throw in my favorite "Dick and Jane" book too...I just have a feeling about that book.

LOL

:1orglaugh

Handicapable...HAHAHA

I always loved that one.

In your mind perhaps, but I've been around long enough to note common usage, and that's all I worry about.

Is the golf usage of "handicap" now changed to handicapable also?


If so let's go golfing sometime. Just let me know what your handicapable is.

Damn forgot cripple didnt I.

From one to another shall we arm wrestle and end it?
:Graucho

I posted this in that retarded thread about tards...

The fact is you can call yourself a gimp..and you and your gimp friends can call each other gimp...you are taking power over that word and now control it.

Same as with black people calling each other ******...niggah..etc.

However when some mongoloid is being mainstreamed into the local school system you aren't going to see him and his mongoloid buddies walking around saying things like..."me and my tards are going to go and kick it on the playground."

Nah I dont call others in chairs gimps, hell I ussually can not stand other people in wheelchairs. (another story).

Now one of my tennants in a rental has a "slow, retarded, mentally challenged, feeble minded or whatever we decided was ok to call them" son who is around 32 with the mentality of a 12 year old. Now he always refers to his "co-workers" as retarded people. So I do not get the point.
