In the past such as in high school I was accused of being "too PC" because I refused to ever use homophobic slurs as insults. I will never call someone I dislike a fag, I will never say "that's gay" over something I don't like, etc which is all childish high school garbage since I barely hear that type of stuff anymore. I also didn't adhere to the "if it's offensive, it's automatically funny" school of thought that the morons who listened to ICP and Eminem did.

Yet for some reason, dazzleman seems to think that being PC means being a Muslim-lover. By that logic, I am not PC at all, and posters like John Ford and J.J. are actually super PC. Since I've never heard this definition before I find it quite odd.

It appears that very few people agree with dazzleman, as I looked up the wikipedia article on "political correctness" and did a search for "Islam" and "muslim" and got no results. Therefore it would conclude that this definition of loving Islam is quite off from the commonly accepted one. And the first sentence reads "Political correctness (also politically correct, P.C. or PC) is a term used in English-speaking countries to describe real or perceived attempts to impose limits on the acceptable language and terms used in public discussion." That really has pretty much nothing to do with Islam at all.

So am I PC? And if not, does that make John Ford, J.J, htmldon and other Islam lover Republicans PC using this bizarre new definition dazzleman believes in?

nah, your tendency to overgeneralize has been a longstanding factor working against you being correct.

dazzleman's the number 1 overgeneralizer. He has basically claimed that every single feminist agrees with every single thing MacKinnon and Dworkin said.
