It's obviously Bill Clinton's fault.

I believe your signature points out the main reason. They are trying to respect other's beliefs.

yes.
political correctness can kiss my ass and lick my balls.
-- Posted by carracer at 6:59 pm on Oct. 2, 2008
Because so many things are subjective and not set in stone?

respecting their beliefs has nothing to do with being scared to admit the other person is wrong
its called pride and ego

Truth can be subjective. Don't oversimplify the matter to simple math equations. It isn't a very good analogy.

truth cant be subjective, it contradicts itself

Look up the word "Paradox."

Paradox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Paradox (disambiguation).
Look up paradox in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.A paradox is a true statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or it can be, seemingly opposite, an apparent contradiction that actually expresses a non-dual truth (cf. Koan). Typically, either the statements in question do not really imply the contradiction, the puzzling result is not really a contradiction, or the premises themselves are not all really true or cannot all be true together. The word paradox is often used interchangeably with contradiction. Often, mistakenly, it is used to describe situations that are ironic. An example of this is hating cucumbers, hating yogurt, but loving tzatziki sauce. it doesnt apply to truth though one person thinks there is a cookie in the jar
another person thinks there isn't
they are not both right

Well of course paradoxes do not apply to such meager examples. A paradox can only exist within meaningful concepts. Have you ever researched a little bit of Daoism? Then you would know that "Everything matters, yet nothing matters" is a valid statement (that is, if you believe in paradoxes)

Generally speaking, I think it has less to do with political correctness and more to do with the acknowledgement that anyone who says that he knows 100% that he is right, without a shadow of a doubt, and 100% that others are wrong, without a shadow of a doubt, is lying.

ok maybe truth turns to crap when u go into paradoxes but still im talking about the truth in real life situations like this dog exists or this dog doesnt exist, seriously only one of those 2 statements can be right

so noone really believes in anything?

Political correctness is way overboard. I should be able to say or do things that other people may find offensive because it is physically impossible to be non-offensive all the time. Maybe we should try to have a little tact and not blatantly attempt to offend somebody but being pc has no place in this world. Especially to the extent its gotten today and when it's applied with such bias.

Sure they do; they just understand that they can't prove their correctness to others anymore than others can prove their correctness to them, so saying "I'm right and you're wrong" is an exercise in futility, even if it's what they believe.
