Is political correctness a good thing or a bad thing?
Good question.Who is the arbitrator?
The thing is, you don't seem to have opinions, beer.I don't think before I post.
I'd never post otherwise.
Only type I have
We would still have our sticks and stones.Good. But you're right about thought. If we all stopped thinking, we could end most of our problems.

Well, I can't hold an opinion to such vaguery.The thing is, you don't seem to have opinions, beer.
I would have never known that had you not told me.I would have a quibble to a 200 pound trans gender woman in woman's wrestling, but not in a woman's washroom.
Rules change from sport to sport. Like, I believe in woman's ice hockey they are required to wear a full facial helmet... There's an air of dumbness in sports. If you loved checkers but rules stated you have to play blind folded or face crucifixion you still wouldn't give up playing checkers.I would have never known that had you not told me.

Is political correctness a good thing or a bad thing?
It was an idea I came across during my travels online. I see it cutting both ways. I don't think it was as much a statement and possibly more a question. I'm thinking thoughts can be oppressive or liberating. But that's too simple of a statement, therefore the need for discussion.You demonstrate your title.
There is an appearance of disconnection 'twixt thread title and topic post, but it is merely a matter of definitions. The question reflects your habits; you fulfill the proposition that thought itself is an agent of oppression, and in a manner far more literal and directly applicable than the phrase itself usually considers.
You need to try something a bit more Buddhist-ish before you find the right context. Something akin to the Four Noble Truths.
Discrimination, that is to say, consequential observation of differentiation, is an internal priority of individual perspective. There are, objectively, reasons to attend the fact an myriad aspects of differentiation in the Universe, but those are, generally speaking, as different from your or my perspective-bound projections as the Mysterious Ways of God.
It is easy enough to blame time, but not always functionally appropriate. Although you then get to invoke Therion, who would very much appreciate the idea of blaming time itself for everything wrong in the Universe.
