So, this seems to be popping up on the site from time to time and is a bit of a hot issue lately. For the most part this site comes across pretty liberal- no surprise as it's a forum dedicated to arts. But, once in a while a bit of heat bubbles up. Words are exchanged. People are offended. Et cetera.

Right, so I made this thread as way for people to express their viewpoints on the value of being 'politically correct'. There's a better way to put it than that tired and poorly reputed phrase but whatever. I've arranged some questions, interested in hearing back from you peeps. With Butthead temporarily (?) gone I'm hoping this doesn't become completely one-sided. I'm a little buzzed, perhaps the questions I've come up with are too basic. If you can think of better ones, post um!!!

• Do you consider yourself a PC person?
  
• Is being PC important to you?
  
• How do you feel about casual use of hate speech/slurs such as 'nigg@' or 'f@ggot'?
  
• Do you feel like people are often times too easily offended? If so, at what point do you draw the line?
  
• Do you feel there's a difference between prejudicial bigotry (I.E, the KKK) and ignorance/insensitivity to people who are in some cases seen as different?
  
• How do you respond to things/people that offend you? Do you find your responses have a positive, negative, or any impact?
