What would you like to do? How do you work when you are confronted with situations. Would you like to be viewed as a very good and right thinking person if in fact you are not
OR speak the truth as it is and discuss the solutions.
Which way do you think is the best and from which way do you think we learn the most? And what way do you take most of the times.

"Speak the truth, shame the devil." I don't really give a fig what people think about what I say. Nor does anyone have the right to say what is, or is not, politically correct. "One man in the right, constitutes a majority." But speak your truth with patience listening to what others say. Learn to read slowly, with delicate fingers. Not closing any door to soon.

No, I think the notion of a 'Politically correct' statement is fundamentally incoherent. In fact any 'rights' based system of ethics is equally flawed. If, for instance, I say I have a 'right' not to be murdered all this really means is that it is wrong for someone to murder me. This may seem a trivial point and it may seem that it doesn't really matter but problems arise when considering opposing 'rights' where such a conceptual framework is insufficiently fine grained to satisfactorily resolve such dilemmas.
