CalicoPenn Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Whenever someone complains about things being politically correct, my first assupmtion is they're whining because they can't discriminate against or denigrate people that aren't just like them anymore without being called out on their narrow-mindedness. Archie Bunker would have deployed the term Politically Correct at least once in every episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenD500 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I let my COR and IH know about the change. Currently have a meeting scheduled with them to answer their questions. The CO is local Methodist church. I was told the church will be addressing their own membership policy in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Bunker would have deployed the term Politically Correct at least once in every episode. my first assumption when people defend political correctness is they are so insecure in their beliefs that they attempt to shutdown debate on every issue by using the coercive power of government or organizational leadership to stifle debate or descent. Or they chose to denigrate the beliefs of others by using terms like narrow mindedness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David CO Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't mind when liberals and atheists call me narrow-minded. They're half right. I am straight-and-narrow minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the BSA's new political correct move caters to special interests at the expense of the actual protection of youth. Like it or not the history and facts of the perversion files cannot be erased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, so a confused young man joins the scouts to be swayed into homosexuality? The BSA has become a less safe place for scouts than it was two years ago.

If you want to discriminate against someone or want to denigrate someone who is different from you, or who does not comport to your idea of what people should be like, then be brave enough to discriminate against them or denigrate them - don't hide behind the term "politically correct" as a way to do so by complaining that you can't do so because of political correctness. There are no liberals out there saying you can't use the "N" word or the "F" (not the 4 letter one, the 3 letter one) word because they aren't politically correct - they're saying you can't use them because they're hurtful and just not acceptable in polite and civil society - if you want to say that's politically correct, that's you whining that the "big, bad liberals" won't let me say those words anymore. Go ahead and say them - you have 1st Amendment Rights - just stop complaining when the rest of society shuns you for it. Or do the "Big Bad Liberals" have that much control over your mind.

CalicoPenn Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 BTW - word came down from our CO's church leadership this past weekend - it was a very simple statement: "We don't discriminate - neither will you" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 BTW - word came down from our CO's church leadership this past weekend - it was a very simple statement: "We don't discriminate - neither will you" So they will allow atheists?
