Our society has come to a point where Political Correctness is allowed to stand in the way of what is really important, such as in your school article where smartness and appearances matter so much and petty punishments. The same applies with rights, how can criminals have rights when they break into our homes? The answer should be that they do NOT. I fully agree with some Political Correctness but our society has crossed the line!

Political Correctness is always needed in politics, a PM needs to be honest with his public, for he is the one they hav entrusted to run the country. An honest PM knows when he is right, and knows when to admit when he is wrong. Richard Nickson, and the Water Gate scandel, he paid for his decite with his job. The people need a leader that they can trust in. A man or woman who is not afraid to tell the people what they need to hear the truth. With the Hutton enquiry results, and the bad light the BBC wasw shown in it threw into stark constrast for me what a PM should and should not say. I believe that Blair is not telling the whole truth but there is a grain of truth in what he says.

Honestly Mike, spelling! Richard Nixon, Watergate, scandle, deceit. However I agree with what you are saying, my opinions of Blair have altered in the last year most certainly.

Mike, i'm not sure you know what political correctness is. You're on about trust in the prime minister. That has very little to do with political correctness. It's hard to describe, but i think i've done allright on the article not yet launched about it. I suggest you read that. Trust me - you don't want political correctness in politics!

Just an update on the article: I'm over half way, and have pretty much finished explaining it. Need to add it's affects on those who oppose it and it's origins (erupted in the 1980's). Please continue contributions and opinions.
I intend to launch the article along with this site. If it goes to plan it will be the most complex article to date due to the complex nature of PC. I also have other articles planned for the future.
Any articles that are posted to me will also be launched with the site so any visitors will have plenty of freash articles to read.

Thank you for clearing that up Will. I will also have to get a new keyboard, but I do believe that RMR is right that about the rights. I am all for the equal rights, but I do believe that a person should be treated on what they are guilty of. We cannot have some of the most dangerous people alive walking around on our streets.

When in prison the focus should be more on punishment than rehabilitation. Criminal should be made to feel like they have done something wrong and rehabilitation should come second.

True, but the severity of the crime should dictate how the criminal is treated.

Certainly, Also the money hungry speed cameras are becoming a nuisance. Who here has not had a parent, relative or friend who has been caught for minor crimes and forced to pay a hefty fine thanks to the awful speed cameras.

Speed Cameras are a plague on morotists. They are unjustified stealth taxes. The police force (or as the politically correct would call it, the police 'service') focus more on raising money than catching true criminals. They do this because they know most people will pay, it is easy money, and you can't prove them wrong. There will be no long, drawn out court case.

Yes very true. I am 100% against this!

The police force was not created to further tax the people, it was created to protect the people against crime. Let us not forget that!

How often do we see police officers on the beat? Not often for me and certainly for many other people, that's because they are all swamped at the station filling in paper work. Our justice system has slowed down so quickly it's ground to a halt.

The police force has slowed to a halt due to endless bureaucracy and regulations. Due to political correctness maybe?
In other news the article is nearly complete, and there will probably be over 3 A4 pages.

Are you suggesting brain disection?! ROFL.
Anyway, as soon as the site is launched I might lock this topic, and start a fresh topic on Political Correctness based on the article. Members can judge/analyse it and state any changes of views on the subject. Any other ideas on this subject?

Post by TheCritique on Mar 22, 2004 19:19:01 GMT
Due to the lack of attention the other topic concerning political correctness was attracting, I have re-opened this one. Anything you have to say on PC PLEASE POST IT HERE. I want too get this topic operational again.
Best Regards.

He is also banned for starting another unwanted topic. This time on advertising, which i have expressedly forbidden from this forum. He just doesn't learn.
*Edit*: Jammie now unbanned on condition that he posts proper intellectual responses and topics.

Well, he's started about 5 unwanted and strange articles and so he ought to be removed for now in my opinion. Anyway, lets get back to the Topic!
