I totally agree that PC can be taken too far and be totally ridiculous. However, does being opposed to being PC really give someone the right to say things that they know are hurtful to another? Yes, we have the right to open our mouths and let vitriol spew but I do believe there should be a line and that line is being hurtful, deliberately rude or downright cruel. How do you justify to yourself and others deliberately hurting another simply because a word or phrase is innocuous to you but knowing it causes pain to another?
