Mary, RE: Give me 2 or 3 examples of what you belieive are valid ideas where the "Politically Correct" are shutting down open discussion. While I am generally in agreement with you on this subject, I do see times where Political Correct policies shut down open discussion. Many college campuses in the US have enacted speech codes in which certain types of inflammatory words are forbidden. I cannot see that this is a benefit. Yes, bigots, racists, et al have adopted the PC mantra in order to justify their speech. I am glad that they are allowed their speech, though. If Ali wasn't allowed to speak freely, for example, we wouldn't know how he truly felt (at least the few of us that don't have him on Ignore). That's the wonderful thing about free speech, it allows the idiots to expose themselved to the world. Using the anti-PC mantra in order to justify your own hatred is pretty weak, yes. But using PC to justify censorship is also wrong.
