I know your complaints, but unfortunately, we do not live in a world with nuances, but in a black/white world (it's also the reason why I left the politics CH).
WTF ARE YOU SMOKING?
Perhaps you are unable to see nuances, but I can assure you that they exist, and are indeed thriving. Indeed its only polititians trying to score points that seem to hit the "with us or against us" rhetoric, as the world is a FAR more complex place to live in. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something.. (either a product or an idea).
You seriously need to open up yer eyes lad, because theres a whole spectrum of life that you are missing with your black/white specs on.
Ppl think that if political correctness is a pain in the arse (wich sometimes indeed is), acting political incorrect would be okay.
I think that political correctness has been taken all out of proportion, to the point now that it can be more offensive then what it was trying to replace, and you get some people who will attack you unless you use newspeek.. err politically correct phrases.
like all things its a ballance, one that in this case has been lost a long time ago, I tend to stick roughly in the middle of it all since I don't like the extremes of either side of this coin. I'm utterly uncooth in the eyes of the liberal elite who use this to its extreme, and totally PC by the anti-PC brigade's views...
