[QUOTE="Arbiter of Wyrms, post: 2359734, member: 18021"] The two are distinct! Politeness is an effort to let others around you be as comfortable and happy as is reasonably sustainable. It is consideration for the wants and needs of others in the process of decision making. Politically correctness, or "NEWSPEAK," as it used to be known, is an effort to avoid conflict by avoiding communication by through the obsfucation of meaning. If all your words are non-sense, no one can understand you. If no one understands you, they cannot object to what you say. [sblock]Strategially releasing a pre-adult person of biologically-determined male gender and/or an adult person of size whose birth gender is also male from an altitudinously enabled vessel of peace upon multi-speciel, traditionally accustomed dwelling settlements Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused both foreseen and unforeseen negative patient care outcome of varying acuteness and severity to the residents of those aforementioned places of dwelling. This action was taken in an effort to dissuade ongoing aggressive international action on the part of the those subject to the action or on the part of those to whom they were allied or aligned in national, political, ideological, or other ways against those persons, of any gender, not limited to only two or less, and persons of pre-adult, adolescent, adult and practiced adult ages selecting to conduct the strategic release or those with whom they were allied or aligned along national, political, ideological. or other lines.[/sblock] [sblock]Excuse me, sir. You probably don't know that you're parked in a cripple spot. Those spots are reserved for gimps because they have a harder time getting into and out of these little spaces and wheelin' themselves out the spots further from the store. Go ahead and get back in your car and move it to a spot that isn't reserved for the lame. Thank you, sir."[/sblock]You guess which is which. [/QUOTE]
