Yea, I think the world should be more politcally correct too, but to an extent. Not to the extent of making people change their whole thought processes into the "moral relavist" theory...but just politically correct enough to respect homosexuals and all races equally...without calling them names or degrading them: not to the point of not even being allowed to call people fat anymore...when they're obese. We shouldn't be tip toeing around potentially offensive words, if they're obese they should be told to become healthier, not to accept it and call them, what is it? Thin-challenged?

lol, i was just thinking that...that we're just making judgments, which is just as hypocritical as what the example was from the thing...but, everyone has to make some sort of judgement. Like, judge who to be their friends, what they want to eat. Judgments are needed for almost every problem or question in order to make any sort of decision.
To be a fully politically correct society, this moral relavist story suggests to be without judgement. If Anymore actually attempted a perfectly politically correct society, than judgments like the above will be made(that people like MLK and Hitler are equally as bad of people). So, a polit. correct society wouldn't THAT much more of a "livable" place.

yea! this is a cool find.
and look, gave us our new topic of debate..though i think we're in agreement of it for the most part.

Yeah we are.

And after I wrote what I did, what you just said in your last couple of sentences is what I thought about. So I take back wishing the world was completely politically correct. And I agree on being politically correct to the point where you can respect every person of everything.

And I really am sick of everything being so offensive, whether black or fat, or homosexual. It's just so annyoing. And I feel bad for people who are always cautious around me with what they say, I mean if your mind is just ignorant then I would appreciate it. But for those who aren't, I feel bad because I don't want people to feel like they have to make eceptions for everything they say, and constantly watch their words. Idunno, I just feel like if must get tiring, and I hate it everytime I have "make sure I don't offend this person!"

You know?
