(PC) What do you mean i'm moraly gifted.

It has recently been brought to my attention, the stupidity of political correctness. I understand the purpose of political correctness is to try to sugar coat everything, so certain things don't sound as bad as they really are, but enough is enough. I have tried to think of this subject not only as a white man, (yes white not colorly challenged, yes man not y chromosomally gifted) but no circumstance have I ever felt offended by the words of another, not when I was called a white boy, or honkey or white bread in the Peoria schools, or when I was called a fundy for my Christian beliefs and you mean to tell me people are getting upset of these moronic things., I have read accounts of stores being ridiculed for selling 'Christmas trees' apparently there supposed to be holiday trees what garbage is that, who gets hurt in calling a Christmas tree a Christmas tree, or black board a blackboard as opposed to chalkboards, or man holes being called man holes as opposed to personal assess units(supposedly offensive to women?). These things are just words why get offended by them, why do people try to derail the entire societies way of thinking because a very few people (which I don't even believe) get their feelings hurt. The only instance I can think of that I would ever use PC would being referring to someone as mentally challenged as opposed to retarded, even though I don’t understand why this is offensive completely because the definition of retarded is "characterized by retardation: a retarded child" thank you diconary.com these words are not meant to hurt anyone, they are meant to be used as all other words are simplify how we communicate, does anyone call a fat person horizontally gifted, an anorexic person horizontally challenged, a criminal morally challenged, no I don't think so. The English language is already considered one of the hardest language to us effectively let’s keep it as simple as possible. A fat person is fat, a criminal is a criminal, a Christmas tree is a Christmas tree, a whore is a whore, and they are not sexually gifted. We live in an extremely culturally varied world, this is non deniable, but honestly who gets hurt from these words, they are not slurs, and they should not be sugar coated.
