Political Correctness has a place in society, but like everything out there can be used/abused to an extreme sometimes. I think that people need to "loosen up" a little; but on the other hand with political freedom does come responsibility. People just need to use moderation is all.

Society collapses when one is to afraid to speak.

The thread title made me think of this video:

Not in Norway! This last saturday we had our lame ass Grammy knock-off, and these guys called Plumbo won like best song or something, with a song called Møkkamann (translates to The Shitty/dirty Man, im being kinda liberal with the infliction) and these two emm.. hip hop artists? called Madcon were handing out the award, and like the lead guy from Plumbo said "When I look at two of you, the song suddenly get's a new name: The Mocha Man". And after being booed he sang his acceptance speech to waltz music from an accordia. It was pretty fucking marvelous

Bullshit mentality like this which turned Sweden from an upstanding respected country to a shit-infested hole with daily murders and rape.

fuck off you filthy whore.

there i spoke my mind

I think most people don't even really understand what prejudice is, or when it's happening. I think most people who watch their tongue still hold prejudices, and only keep them quiet because there's this culture of political correctness that punishes them. The trouble with this is twofold:

1. Ambient social bigotry still exists and expresses itself in more subtle but still damaging ways, but because nobody vocalises it they can deny its existence, and so it becomes harder to deal with.

2. There becomes a culture of censorship where artists and even comedians cannot make valid expressions without being accused of bigotry or prejudice by people incapable of understanding concepts like irony or the separation of author and protagonist.

So, in a way I do agree. "Political correctness" as a social movement is well-meaning but somewhat counter-productive, and we could do with a more intelligent approach to dealing with problems of prejudice. On the other hand, the OP is almost certainly a complete prick if he equates bigotry with "speaking your mind".

Cheers. Sorted.

I see political correctness as the democratic version of totalitarian censorship.
It's a rather widespread disease in Germany, where it's rather easy to be condemned as a Nazi, an anti-semite, a communist or really anything that fits once you utter any sort of opinion that might be offensive to anyone.
