Totally incorrect. Always.
-
I believe those terms are often used by people who are too lazy to look at context, so I'm conscientiously objecting.
-
A bit of both!
-
incorrect.. (seems I'm always in the minority for most things compared to the general public..haha)
-
incorrect
-
I try to be polite, and I recognise certain words or phrases as Politically Incorrect, and I would never use them. But in general, as long as you don't call me a baby killer, or war monger, I object to the idea of PC.
-
I don't know, really. I try to be fair and respectable to all.
-
i am always incorrect!
-
I'm politically correct in public or with people I don't know well. Incorrect with good friends and family!

It depends how far you want to take political correctness. I studied it and some of the terms were ridiculous...there has to be a line *somewhere*. Most of the time I'll call a spade a spade. If someone is bald, they are not ''follicularly challenged'', they're bald. If someone is incompetent, they're just that (and probably a pain in the backside too), they aren't ''uniquely qualified''. A fat person is overweight, not ''horizontally challenged''. However, in other ways I'm quite PC. I'm all for ''specific needs'' as opposed to ''special needs'' and ''bar staff'' as opposed to ''barman'' etc. A lot of it comes down to personal bias and beliefs, so I think it's difficult to come up with an actual code of what is and isn't PC. I just try to balance what I'm saying with the company I'm keeping, if I know something is likely to offend someone then I will generally try to think of an alternate way of phrasing it.

Pretty much politically ambivalent. I will try not to offend anyone, but I am so tired of being afraid to talk for fear of saying something innocently that could get me beat up. Today a lady told me she is afraid to ask for colored paper in the copy shop! That is so weird that it angers me. We have taken political correctness to ridiculous lengths.

I'm like Bill Maher, I'll be as incorrect as I want to be. I'd rather tell the truth than tip toe around saying what I really want to say. I find no need to be PC unless I'm at work or some other formal event.
-
I guess i'm politically incorrect if i'm asking u guys what is the politically correct way to say certain things and i've noticed no answers coming my way.
-
since when has anyone been politically correct?
-
fuck no!!!
-
Ha! Me? Never! Don't believe in the stuff.
-
Anyone that knows he halfway enough by now knows that isn't true. Only at work am I but I do value having a job though.
-
If and when it's necessary. I do try not to be really bad!
-
Only when there is money involved. On here? No.
-
I'm politically blunt; I call things as I see them. Besides politically correctness is boring and a leading cause of sterility.
-
where i work i am - we work with developmentally disabled individuals NOT retards!
-
Despite being in the public eye, and serving it, I am not PC...and never will be.
-
Not that I've noticed :)
-
I just am who I am. If I happen to be politically correct at times, then so be it. I don't try to be. What a horrible obligation to have to live up to. I don't know if I could survive.

You understood my answer correctly because you are an astute perceiver of everything that you purvey, AnonymousGirl! :)
