Do you use non-PC terms?

[WillyBrandt]

Poll question: Do you use non-PC terms?

Interpret "non-PC" however you so choose. (The vagueness is purposeful).

Of course, quoting others' use of non-PC terms, or discussing them "clinically" (discussing the word, rather than employing it) doesn't count.

No if either "never" or "almost never"
Yes otherwise ("rarely" to "all the time" to "you're Rick James")

1. Yep

Some not fit for repeating here. I simply don't have time to play the political correctness game. It's just not a priority for me.

I speak my mind.

15. Same here, bud.

All of us have used non-PC terms at one time or another in our lives. To say otherwise is a bold-faced lie.

2. "Let he who is without sin..."

Of course I do.

[WillyBrandt]

3. "... start bitching"

[MrSlayer]

4. Yes, I do. Real life isn't steril.

I'm a construction worker.

5. Offending some people is a duty and an honor.

When such occasions arise, one needs the right vocabulary.

6. Damned straight, fuckface!

7. Only when using the mainframe

8. Anyone notice that it is politically incorrect to be politically correct

Should tell us a little something about the whole so-called PC phenomenon.

It's funny to see people Hell Yeah-ing the politically incorrect as if it is some version of sticking it to the Man (as it were;-)). It ain't. If you're politically incorrect, you're as politically correct as they come.

9. i'm rick james...

bitch.

10. It's ironic and shameful, but

the expressions I use are sexist, and I'm a woman. For instance, I use the expression "balls" to mean guts or courage. I use the expression "pussy" to mean someone who is weak.

11. the only expression i REALLY hate

is PC - what the hell is it supposed to mean anyway - I always thought it was just another right wing troglodyte all purpose insult like "un-Australian" or "unAmerica" whichever the case may be.

12. PC is a divide-and-rule tactic used against the left.

We get to arguing among ourselves about essentially trivial
(most of the time) issues instead of going hammer and tongs
after the oligarchy like we ought to be doing over social and
economic democracy.

[bemildred]

14. Just to clarify, its a "wedge" issue.

Like gay rights and race and various others,
used to split the left, and get it arguing
within itself, and to discredit it.

13. "Mac" and "Steve Jobs"

Those are un-PC terms I have used.

16. Let's just say,

I rock. 24/7, 365. I do whatever it takes to rock. The Democratic Party should make sure it does too. If I was more into speech policing I'd be more into Ashcroft.
