I think that the heart of a lot of peoples dislike of PC attitudes stems from the concepts laid down in orwell's 1984- change the language to change the way people think- dont educate them, controll them- I myself would like to retain the right to insult and offend freely, and frankly belive that pc is just a whitewash that avoids conflict between different people, and therefore avoids the conflict resoloution that follows- seriously, does anyone on the earth belive that calling a person mentally challenged instead of retarded will cause the person to be more accepted, or not made fun of- wake up people, we need to change the people, not the language they are speaking, and sometimes that means letting them say horrible things first.....
