Ha, reasonable is the important word. When one calls another an idiot for expressing his or her opinion I don't think that is reasonable. Now, I may think that some of the arguments presented are idiotic I really need to be careful about how I say it, even in the bar.
I believe there are three types of truth; 1. personal, 2. political, and 3, objective. Most of the facts presented here are of the first two types. Either personal beliefs or politically correct positions. Very few are real truths and that's ok. I would remind you however, that prior to 1492 it was an absolute truth that the world was flat.
I believe (there's that damn word again) that we all need to be a little more careful in the way we put others political or religious beliefs down.
Too true but I think there may now be a 4th truth for some - Social truth. It is being bent into polictical but many think it is personal but it is not as many are too afraid to speak their personal beliefs/ ideas/ truths as they get put down. It is just so confusing so people loose their backbone sometimes to keep the peace.
But there is a place for everything and if you apply a slice of empathy with what you want to say you can ( most of the time) speak your mind.
On political correctness, I am afraid the pendulum has swung too far to one side and we have lost our funny bone somewhere.
Unfortunately even watching Monty Python or Black Adder has become foul of the Political Correctness mob.
