What again is the point of being politically correct?
Why is it wrong to not like another person because of their race?
Why are stereotypes bad if they're usually correct?
Why are there offensive words?
Why the hell do i have to be nice to these bastards around me everyday when we all know damn well we hate each other?

Why. Why. Why. Why. Why. Why not? I'm sorry, backwards logic is not acceptable. When something different from what is natural is proposed, there needs to be a REASON for it. |

To quote my mother.
"Because I said so"
Sometimes there isn't a clear reason, it's just society's way of saying "It's because we say so"

You're honestly putting that out there as an argument? Does everything really need to be an argument with you? If there's such a definite fucking reason, be my guest. Enlighten us. |

Well, if I may just cut in here..
What again is the point of being politically correct?
To show respect for other races, and religions
Why is it wrong to not like another person because of their race?
Because that would make you close-minded. Don't base your judgement on a race based on a small group of people.
Why are stereotypes bad if they're usually correct?
They're not usually correct. Again, its basing judgement on a small selection of people.
Why are there offensive words?
There were a bunch of ignorant people who make these words because they were close-minded and we taught to hate a certain race.
Why the hell do i have to be nice to these bastards around me everyday when we all know d**n well we hate each other?
Common Courtesy. Respect. Good Morale. Take your pick. It's just humane to treat one another with equality, despite any prejudice on a certain group of people.

What again is the point of being politically correct?The point of being politically correct is to either A, not make people angry, and B, looking like a smart ass. More on A though, being politically correct prevents hurting peoples feelings about their race, gender, etc. But people have different levels of sensitivity, some are easily hurt than others...so "political correctness" is just mankinds way of being able to shake someone's hand without the other guy kicking your ass. Why is it wrong to not like another person because of their race?Because if you do not like someone else soley because of their race, you are not really considering their real merits. Merits that are rather inside of them...such as knowledge, humor, sensibility, responsibility. So not liking someone else because of their color or appearance is flat out ignorant. As humans we should be better than that, but unfortunately, we are not. Why are stereotypes bad if they're usually correct?Stereotypes are usually not correct, actually, because they directly try to personify someone. This is impossible. The reason for this is because everyone is different, and even though Bob is wearing baggy pants and big golden chains this does not mean he's a gangster. Bob might just be disturbed. Why are there offensive words?Offensive words came to be from men getting very angry. At the beginning, when we got very angry, we really did not know how to express our anger. To solve this problem, we blurted out a ton of silly-sounding words to make the other person feel bad. Some examples of offensive words are: Wanker, Wee Wully, Dob, and Pog Mo Hoin. Why the hell do i have to be nice to these bastards around me everyday when we all know d**n well we hate each other? Well, this depends...are they nice to you? If they're being total assholes, you have a right to be the same way they are. Though you'd just be stooping down to their depressing level. I usually ignore blokes who try and insult me. On the other hand, if they are nice, and you just want to be angry at them for no apparent reason...well, you need some help. And why do you assume we all hate eachother? Come on man, this isn't congress, it's a video game forum! We just hate each others opinions, usually.

and this is for ard too,
All these reasons are based on the fact that humans have to like each other, the reason i say humans is because we are the only race that hold ourselves up on this pedastal that says we're better than other animals.
when really i believe we are just animals ourselves, and if one animal doesnt like the other, they kill each other

Thing is Icarus, your logic is flawed. You see, humans, no matter what we have done, are the smartest animals on earth. Though what we do (ex: hunt for food, fight over land) is the same as other animals, we have the capacity and the sensibility to be nice to one another. And sure Icarus, if someone pisses you off, you can surely do something about it.
Though if one human does not like the other, it is barbaric, malicious to attack them for reasons of prejudice. Do you seriously think that it is alright for these unprovoked attacks? And more importantly, do you think most animals other than humans do such things? Hate to break it to you, but the truth is worse than it seems.
And it is our duty to be courteous to each other, no matter what our skin color is or what person A thinks of person B. Especially in this time right now, a time of greed and economic troubles, when the young go to war and the rich watch over them. We MUST come together as best as we can, or ultimately, mankind will fail. It is because our brains are advanced that we're so ignorant.
We don't "have" to like each other, but we should. And we're only on the highest pedestal because we have the biggest stick.
