2	VexedLondon (Guest)	Speaking as a gay man: political correctness really pisses me off. If I'm beaten up, there are already laws against that. If someone calls me an abomination in the sight of God, I don't need a law to laugh it off. I'm not special, and would prefer not to have laws that treat me unequally. We can argue about what "equal" means in cases like gay marriage, if you like, but I don't need to be treated with kid gloves just because of my sexuality. In my experience, the difference between "good manners" and "political correctness" is simple: "political correctness" is a weapon. It's used by certain kinds of people to get their own way when logic fails. The best thing everyone here can do is learn how to use that weapon in real life against the wankers who created it in the first place. It's a fundamentally weak concept, so this is easy to do. You just find a way in which you're in a disadvantaged minority. Overweight? You're being victimised by people with a socially-conditioned view of body image. White? You're from a regionally-disadvantaged area. Or if you're not, you're from a class that is inappropriately stereotyped. Etc, etc, ad infinitum. "PC" is a vile manipulative tool: it must be expunged from our society! (link)	Political Correctnesstopia: Land of the Future

4	Andy_Dandy	It's so gratifying when A-listers such as Bono, who have tens of millions in the bank, leave their Central London or Manhattan homes, and travel to Africa. Often they tell us how wonderful the place is, and how talented the people are, as well as advising us to contribute our money for the cause. Easy when you have a lifestyle in which mortgage worries are no consideration, and in a world in which you've become so famous that you can't see daylight from the depths of your own arsehole. If the diseased orifice is so fucking great, then why has not one single country ever – ever – created, innovated or designed anything of note? I'll put my money on a bunch of dolphins being able to engineer a bridge over the coming 1,000 years faster than a group of spear-wielding cannibals will ever manage. (link)	Bono
