"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostAnyways, I don't think I"m making my point very clear. PC "culture", like in the OP, isn't so much about making laws and formal rules, but rather about making it socially unacceptable to say certain things. And all I'm saying is that even here, it's not socially acceptable to say certain things. If somebody came on here saying words like "cripple", they wouldn't be very popular.
Whether or not this actually violates TWeb rules has nothing to do with what I'm saying.I am Punkinhead.

JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostWhile I know PC goes to far in this regard, isn't some of what it is about exactly what you are talking about, just applied to everyone rather than just those close to us? IOW, not calling someone a term that has disdain in it or that minimizes or dismisses them is just a generally appropriate thing to do in a civilized society - no?

It really is not an indication of stupidity. It could indicate dyslexia, bad eyesight, poor quality monitor, intermittent faulty keyboard, posting not in one's native language, or a host of other issues that have nothing directly to do with intelligence.
And in the case of JimL, who is routinely pasted, he may just get a kick out of watching you guys go nutso when he does is - sorta like kicking an ant-hill.
