Once again, to be a little bit lazy on a lot of things which then aggregate makes me think of the compulsive hoarders. In other words, the problem becomes big enough to have a serious impact on your day to day life. That's classic mental health, right there. Note that I've written compulsive...

OK thanks - I too checked a couple of souces about it. We covered this already but chances are neither of us is persuaded about the other's argument Is it true that African American unemployment rate has gone down to historic levels under Trump? Most likely yes. Did Trump have anything to do...

Did you ever watch The Big Bang Theory

Okay, so, about this: you are operating your mask incorrectly if you touch your mask once you have put it on you are only covering your mouth and not the nose you are not covering your mouth you keep taking the mask on and off throughout the day you keep adjusting your mask because it keeps...

Hey Jon, isn't there already a thread for this? https://themindtavern.com/community/threads/does-argument-entrench-or-shift-perspective.463/

What source did you use that states that 'Trump brought African American unemployment to its lowest level in history'? Where can I look this up?

I think you're oversimplifying mental illness.

So, I agree with the above. If you get shot and killed while attempting to rob a store, or even trying to rob someone's house for that matter, too bad. You were in the wrong place at the wrong time. If someone says 'he didn't do anything wrong' I would not even class that as PC. That's just...

You're shifting the discussion onto a context which has nothing to do with what we were discussing. We are not dealing about risk for people in a war zone. Well, I agree with you - the term "White Privilege" is divisive. What if we stopped using colours altogether?

If I forgot to turn the fan on and I sat down and now I can't be bothered to get up again to turn it on, that's laziness. But when the choices you make lead you to overspend, which then leads you to become homeless, all because he wanted to buy Red Bull where he did, to me does not sound like...

You asked for an example of what the homeless person I know says. That statement is one of many things he says. As for your Red Bull guy example, do you think there's nothing wrong in his head?

Correct:

I think some of these issues depend on context. For example, saying "all lives matter" as a general statement is fine. Saying it in response to "black lives matter" finds me in agreement with the following

you mean an example of the theories you spew about the world make you sound like you have the high moral ground?

Well, and that's one of the points I'd like to drive home, here. Like most other things, there's gradients of Political Correctness. I'm going to link to an article in the Daily Mail. For the record, I will be politically incorrect and state that I think Daily Mail and a few other tabloids...

I'm going to use a practical example just to establish some common ground, so we have something tangible to talk about. Let's say Tom was born as man. At 20 years of age Tom tells everyone that he has really always felt like a woman and he wants to live his life as such. To that end, he would...

It's easy to distinguish. If you were homeless/unemployed but then you've been rehoused, government provides for you, etc. that's one thing. But if you are currently homeless, nobody is helping you out, etc. and it is clear that the theories you spew about the world make you sound like you have...

So, Jon, if the definition of PC is and if Wikipedia also similarly describes PC in this passage then how can you say that it creates division where no division existed before? It's an oxymoron isn't it?

So, going back to the serious part You are right when you say that nobody thinks with perfect clarity, we all have biases, etc. etc. But there are gradients, right? So, while we all have biases, some people will just be plainly lazier and not bothered to advance their position (the government...
