    The problem is that PC often times (most of the times) conflicts with the first amendment, like we're seeing now. People also become hypersensitive. Language then begins to morph into some weird Orwellian speak because everyone's afraid of offending someone, like we're seeing now. It gets ridiculous. You can't say "brown bagging it" because that offend brown people. You can't say "bossy" because that offends feminists, and on and on and on it goes, spiraling into the absurd. As a result, this will produce cultural blow-back, or people that actually become racist just to spite the absurdity, or a rebellious counter culture situation, like we're seeing now.

This site's got a very narrow spectrum of Christian beliefs as a result of overzealous chasing off of all the normal Christians 'heretics' over the years.

      The delicate snowflakes on here get TRIGGERED if they see a bad word.

      Many of the conservative posters on this site put even the worst of the safe-space liberals to shame in terms of the extent to which they are super-delicate easily-triggered snowflakes who need this to be a safe-space full of politically-correct and theologically-correct agreement.
      There's nothing here in those policies that I disagree with.

        This is hilarious.

        You come to a Christian website with rules clearly posted.
        You AGREE to those rules.
        You willfully VIOLATE those rules.
        You get called on it.
        You pitch a little girl hissy, and accuse the OWNERS of being "triggered" and "snowflakes".

        Just stop acting like a freakin juvenile delinquent and obey the rules you AGREED to!

          Or maybe a little less unpopular.

              Did you NOT agree to the rules when you signed up?

                If that is all it was, nobody would have a problem with it. The way it is really used is that it IS the stick, and it is used by people to claim victimhood, or make others feel like evil offenders for doing nothing at all, like eating tacos on Tuesday and being called a racist for it.

                  Meanwhile outside of Starlight's crazy delusion, in progressive space-space land his fellow progs need "cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies" to recover from watching triggering debate!!!
                  Hmm. If you are Epo, you should admit it now. Seriously.

                    This seems to be a recurring theme, so I'm really curious, Starlight, so let's take this here....

                      So how does simply disagreeing with someone count as being a jackass? Or how is referring to a woman you saw as the "woman in the white dress" being a jackass?

                      Here at a university in Atlanta merely writing "Trump 2016" in chalk on a sidewalk was enough to send 40 or 50 of the snowflakes scurrying to the president of the university to squeal their protests of being "in pain" (their words) at this heinous act of aggression and how they were "attacked" (again, how they characterized it) by it. Of course the school authorities kowtowed to them vowing to track down those responsible.

                      I'm always still in trouble again

                            You made a goofy accusation, and you need to defend it.



                            *CP doesn't really think Starlight is a Starfart, cause, to be perfectly honest, CP has never seen nor heard a star actually fart, and is not referring to any person living, dead or otherwise. CP, for reasons nobody knows, least of all himself, actually likes used to like Starlight.

                                I'm just glad you're ok, Star.... you're not drinking that nasty water, are you? Sounds horrid... nausea, diarrhoea (do you guys really spell it that way?)
