We simply can not ban everything which we feel is offensive to us. We can't become so self-conscious to the point where beauty shames the ugly, strength shames the weak and so on. We can not settle for existence but rather we need to choose the will to live. To live with purpose even if it risks offending others at times. Even if it causes us unhappiness at times.

We need to embrace and appreciate other people and ideas which enrich our lives and make us better people. Ideas and people who cause us to think, even if we disagree at times. Healthy debate is a good thing, shutting down freedom of thought and expression is evil. We simply can not ban other people's ideas and words.

Political correctness brings about a society which yearns for nothing but only produces a society of thumbed down empty people devoid of purpose. All existing based upon the idea of being liked by all which is an impossibility. To please everybody. It is not realistic, it just divides people. It is pure phoniness.
