[MSFW] - screw Politcal correctness

let me put it to you another way.... which person you think deserves your respect?

person a who you just met and know nothing about. Little do you know he is a pedophile, a wife abuser, he is a tax cheat, he is a member of 4 different hate groups and just before you met him, he kicked a puppy... for gawds sake.. a P u p p y !

person b who you just met and know nothing about. Little do you know he has never physically harmed another person and he is an animal rights activist. he religiously pays his taxes and gives 30% of his income to charities....

by YOUR admission, you respect both of them.... irregardless of how worthy of respect either is worth.

I feel like you're trying to bait me into a nonsensical debate and I'm not going to do that with you. I said I respect everyone until they give me a reason not to. Upon the knowledge that person A was an asshole, loss of respect, yes. Person B, after finding out what an angelic saint he is, would keep my respect. That's it.

your scerio implies continued interaction. What if you never seen either again? I am not trying to get you into a nonsensical debate, I am just trying to show you that "instant respect for all" just makes no sense whatsoever :)

If it makes no sense for you, that's fine. We can agree to disagree. I give people the benefit of the doubt. Life has yet to harden me that much. Have a great rest of your day!

 
There are simply extremes on both political spectrum. Political correctness is one of those things that make conversations become really cringy.

I genuinely can't tell if this is a serious thread or not. In the event that it is, see what all the fuss is really about and reevaluate.

Obviously being racist is bad and intentionally saying derogatory words to hurt people are bad. That part I agree with. However, when people get offended about things that they shouldn't get offended about like lame, Asian Carp, Merry Christmas, that's taking things a little too far. Also, in the video, she said people get called out for "being to PC" but I've personally never witnessed this. I have, however, witnessed numerous occasions where people (myself included) have been called out for not being politically correct.

Following later discussion, respect is earned yes. Agree 100%. But you shouldn't be a total ass to someone you know nothing about. I always give people a lot of respect and if they turn out to be bad people, they lose it. But using the approach that people have to earn your respect first can burn potential bridges before they're even built.

no bridges burnt, not giving someone "instant respect" does not mean nbeiung an ass, it just means that you treat every new encounter with caution, and let things evolve based on interactions :)
