Re: political correctness
Here's the odd thing about this little slogan, "I don't judge others."
​
Who really says this?
​
And even if they do, I think the meaning is often an abbreivated form of saying, "I don't assume the standards by which I judge people are necessarily a set of uniform, absolute standards by which everyone should be judged."
​
Also: just what the hell is "political correctness" anyway? What does that even mean? I see this term bandied about by people all the time, but I don't know what on earth it's supposed to mean.

Re: political correctness
Why do we call it the "World Series"? It should be called "The Pro baseball championship series of the USA" or something. It's not a world wide event.
​
Is that an example of Political Correctness?

Re: political correctness
Not trying to implicate or point a finger. Just trying to understand. Should be a new topic, I guess.
