PC won't going to change people's attitudes and thoughts. PC will push the hatred and prejudices deeper and shield it with the mask of hypocrisy. That's going to boil more and more until it explodes and a man will take his gun and shoot several innocent girls in a school. I'm not a prejudiced man, Kalinka, I just defend those who are. Personally, I prefer people who hate me to say it right into my face.
    That's where you are wrong, PC IS helping people's attitudes and thoughts. But first let me say that a person filled with hatred has some serious personal problems and needs help. Hatred is a very strong emotion and is very dangerous. I think people who say 'I hate such and such' really don't understand what they are saying. If you seriously hate gay people or chinese or whatever, then you should seek help. If not, you'll probably end up as a skinhead and attack random people on the street. Oh, the freedom of speech and thought!

    Why is PC helping? Because it forces you to think twice of what you say, it teaches you respect for your fellow humans. Heck, wasn't this all your beloved communism all about, being good to "the humanity"? If you think that spreading hatred and insults is a civilized way of living and going to make your problems go away, you, sir, are delusional.

    Anyway, PC is not a law, do as you like. Call black people for 'n!ggers' if you like, we'll see how far your prejudices will get you. I, personally, am glad that I can go to work and not be ridiculed for being blond (f.ex.). I am so much more productive that way!

    Lastly, regardless of immigration, we are living in a world that is becoming more global by the minute. If you are an American and hate pink commie bastards and keeping professing your beliefs that all Russians are commies (like someone on this board), you are just going to spread resentment, anger and lose respect. All educated people know that people are different, have different beliefs and have different prejudices. There is no reason why you should be more right than others.

    Can't we just all get along?
    Kalinka, you're missing my point entirely. All I want to say that PC must not be introduced by law. It's about morality and respect. Don't bring any laws in this sphere of human life. Trying to formalize such things will get you to nowhere. Bringing laws into it will either lead to an absurd or a tragedy. I don't mind black or yellow skinned people (I don't know whether it is correct to use such words though ), I don't hate gays (I just don't understand them ) I don't insult people and I don't advocate racism, sexism, nazism or any other -ism (including communism - most definetely I am not a communist. An anarchist, maybe. Power is a crime.
    I don't believe in laws though. Laws won't make people better than they are. I achnowledge only 10 laws - the decalogue. If you follow them - you're fairly safe with any other law that humans will ever invent.

    EDIT: Just strike the offender into his mouth and don't bring lawyers and courts into this.
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    Why banned? You just can't stand the truth, can you? Just look at history: why do you think Jews were never liked (mildly put)?

    Who is talking about it being introduced by law? I agree, it shouldn't! I do believe it should be part of any business' code of conduct for their employees, but that is just my opinion. Be careful who you defend, Ramil, for a second I thought you were a skinhead regularily going to махачи!

    Тут читал статью по-русски про Южную Африку. В ней негров назвали афроамериканцами.

    А как в Америке принято называть афроафриканцев?

    You are entitled to your opinion, but there are enough people who do not care what you think. :P
    Fine with me. You have your opinion, and I have mine.
    Yeah, Israel rules . Israel is so brave, as long as America supports it... Send all the Jews over there! What are they doing in other countries? They should go to their homeland. I bet they don't want to go there, huh? Oh, they can defend Israel, as long they are not there. So, their "patriotism" is all talk... Phony, phony, phony. (Moderated. L.)
    I thought you'd suggest to destroy Israel and bring all Israelis here.

    Знаешь, я тоже так однажды подумал: "как их называть"?

    Но это же естественно, либо "South African", "Kenyan", и т.п., либо "черный".

    Why are my posts the only ones that are being so-called "moderated"? And, what about freedom of speech, anyway? Does it exist in here?

    А почему никто не говорит про политическую коррекность в России? Это оригинальная причина темы, не так ли?
