Question

When and why did this whole PC speach get started and what can we do to bring an end to it ?

Answer 1

With names for Holidays like Christmas. 1995 or thereabout is when it became something of note. Before it were issues  about Civil Rights something different a 1960's counting back issue. Today people cannot say Merry Christmas for the reason there are so many other religious Holidays. Not a problem a person could celebrate a few as well. After all it is the feeling behind saying Merry Christmas and how you say which matters. Christmas is supposed to be a time of good will  though people in stores working during it often hate it. How to bring and end to it criticize all religion equally pull no punches . Cartoons with God taking a wrecking ball to Mosques,Churches,and Synagogues oh and Mary and Joseph joining in.  An idea also that Holy Places themselves don't need to stick around for worshipp. Stick them on trailers and move them about. The Gods and Science both take a wrecking ball to things so let's tell it like it is.

Answer 2

It started with women's right s and racial rights. in many ways the intention was a good one, but it has now gone so far it actually damages open discussion an ad reasoned augment

Answer 3

PC as in...  politically correct?  or PC as in: txt msg short hand 2 say brt k thx, and so on?

Speaking politically correct is not going to end.

And, I don't think text message short hand is going to cease to exist either, as it's such a quicker way to say things, provided it's used in the proper (casual) environment.

I hope you meant one of the two of these...  I'll look back for clarifications.

Answer 4

The entire PC (politically correct) stupidity started when a few loyd mouths realized they could get what tye want by screaming "HATE SPEECH!" based on the fact the were offended by something said innocently by someone else.  Since so many people are afraid of offending anyone, the PC movement grew into the monster it is today.

How to end it?  Simple - refuse to play the game.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  If a person is happy, thay can be called "g*y".  If they are homosexual, that is what they should be called.  Refuse to use hyphenated American terms:  African-American, Korean-American, Native American.  Americans are AMERICANS.  Don't play and the game will end.

Answer 5

The government starts it and no, its doubtful you can end it.  It's purpose is to make the unacceptable more palatable for the masses.  As usual the government underestimates the masses.
