"PC culture people might be better served if they
stopped and considered how - whatever it is they are
intent on saying might make someone else feel.
Some people would have you believe that they are under
attack for "not being PC" and that they are somehow
the ones with courage for speaking their minds.
People bemoaning the idea that they can no longer feel,
do, or say (or legislate) whatever they want about
anyone with impunity.
These people are blind to perspectives other than their
own. They are incapable of seeing how their words or
actions affect other people.
I've already mentioned - children chant, "Sticks
and stones many break my bones but names will never hurt me."
But they aren't completely right about that.
Words can hurt, and hurt badly. People can stick the knife
in without leaving a telling gash - and often they do it with
words. The scar is that much deeper. Teenage suicides and
bullying is a real problem in our society today.
