What's worse; the political correctness of the nineties, or the newly risen moral correctness?
Just curious what you all think.

definitely the MC now. people seem to be more concerned with what is going on with other people's lives ( such as abortion and same-sex marriages), and that's what they mostly based their vote on in the election. sure, there was economic problem and of course iraq, but at the end of the day, voters were more concerned if the candidate had the same moral and religious beliefs. so much for separation of church and state....

Good question.
I'd have to say... MC. No one wants their beliefs or choices held back, PC may control what an individual should wear or say but MC has to do with actions (ex: resorting to abortion maybe). Can't really cover much on that topic. I'd like to know what you think, Noodles![]()

Definitely MC. Granted, political correctness got way out of hand (at least until "South Park" came along), but moral correctness has got to end. Stop shoving your beliefs down my throat! Get your religions out of my school (or at least let all religions be included—how can you have a holiday pageant with the story of Hanukah, Kwanzaa, and something with Santa Claus but exclude the Nativity?), don't tell me what I can or cannot do to my embryo, and don't tell me who I can or cannot marry!
EDIT: Ace topic!

MC is worse, but PC is definately more annoying, and has more influence.
Yeah definitely, PC takes away the aspects that makes you you. All out of need for a society to be more organized. Pretty much everyone is thinking MC has to be worse though.

What is PC and what is MC?
Read the topic you idiot.
Are you one of those morons that was defending Wicca?
Agreed, PC is irritating, but I don't think it actively constrains a person. Unless you're a men's soccer team complaining about how your school won't buy your cleats anymore because they have to give money to the women's soccer team too, or don't like calling little people "vertically challenged." MC is much more dangerous, and I feel is a big indicator of deep-seated psychological issues. Come on, writing evolution out of biology textbooks because it could pose a challenge to creationism?! This is absolute insanity. We're supposedly fighting fundamentalism abroad and cultivating it at home.
Slightly related, I think that many conservative members of the Senate spend more time thinking about anal sex and people having anal sex than most gay men do, and yet it's the gays getting persecuted. Who was it that had that theory of projection?
Moral correctness has made me keep up on my Bible reading, though. Whenever someone talks about how we're supposed to do x, y, and z because the Bible dictates morals, I counter with something from Numbers or Deuteronomy about how if a woman's husband dies and her husband's brother won't marry her, she can stone him to death. And whatever happened to Cities of Refuge, anyway?

i agree with sicNtwisted. MC is worse, but political correctness is just a joke these days. lawyers suing for anything and everything, and a recent example is how in australia christmas has been cancelled in some schools due to respect other religions. the world is going crazy with this sort of thing
