No then what do we do with folks who attack those who write opinionated or biased articles? What do we do with humans who use personal attacks without references to their opposing views? This is where dialogue breaks down. If someone disagrees with an article do they have the right to pull the "PC Card" and attack? It seems too many people feel it is their right to attack if they disagree, then as they attack they fail to back up their points of contention. This is problematic and typical of PC social engineering. Your thoughts? Shan,

So we both win. I have found that many people in Brazil are indeed very good writers and thinkers. Great Soccer Players too. Of course, that is stereotyping, but this biased comes from pretty decent intake of observation and experience. Indeed, then “we” are both that type of person. So we both win.

I didn’t say I won the discussion. This discussion never ends… Forgive me because I delayed to send you a message, but I was talking with someone from Brazil through the MSN and the conversation couldn’t be interrupted…

So, even if you feel you have won in this matter, it is your bias of the subject allowing you to be biased and make that comment. I will give you your win in this case, since you have well documented your points of contention with actual observation and experience. However, to the point of biased articles, that fail to give the truth and cower to societies trends as not to offend, I would say that they are unethical. So in reality a biased article based on real observation is not biased, but many call it biased because it does not fit their personal belief system or frame work that they have artificially created or worse off adopted from the masses of political correctness. Of course.

You can’t imagine how many attacks and humiliations I had to bear in my life exactly because I’m not a hypocrite that agrees with the general indifference! I think this is another subject however. It doesn’t have anything to do with biased articles and the caution we shall have in order to avoid being condemned for that.

It is unethical to lie. Nothing should be more offensive to a reader than a writer who perpetuates lies. Lying is wrong, even if you call it "Political Correctness" and hold the writing out as socially acceptable. It is often amazing that so few people see this and continually create falsehoods for the reader as to be careful not to offend. I hereby "Offend You" for the sake of argument. HA!
