I know I may starting something here that could see my reputation slide faster than greased sledge in a very high ice mountain but here goes.

There have been a lot of threads on here on that have had people attacking "the PC Brigade" or saying The PC lot won't like this but...

Personally I do not believe the PC brigade exist, neither does Political Correctness. In my viewpoint what you are saying is Political Correctness in most forms is respecting the wishes of others and not insulting them.

If for example we find something insulting we mention it and complain and we say "didn't they even think before doing it?" Well what is the problem of us thinking first before acting and insulting someone.

I'm not talking about rewriting history, I think it is fantastic the way we have developed as a nation and been able to absorb so many cultures. These have mainly enriched our lives and enable a wide and more varied viewpoint to be taken over a lot of aspects of our daily lives.

If you start a statement with "The PC Brigade won't like this but...." Just takes me back to the seventies/eighties when people used to say "I'm not a racist but.." or "I don't hate gays but...".
