Is this how students are taught argumentation in school?
Have schools be come self-censored because of the PC police?

I am answering this directly, despite having misgivings about your reasons for starting this thread.
I believe the sexual history thread really was about ideas and issues. I reposted in response to Bruce when he corrected one of my assumptions for example. I asked 9th Engineer for more input as his ideas were very different from mine and although I didn't think I could agree with him, I was interested in a different viewpoint.
The threads on Relationships in general do not follow PC themes. Perhaps there is a liberal bias on this board, but I think that is because people here have open minds and extensive life experience, not because we think "Oh God, I can't say that in case I offend someone!"
Witouth being patronising I suggest you read more threads here, and espeically on different topics. You might be surprised that someone you perceive as PC to the hilt is very conservative on other issues.
BTW I assume behind your typo you were saying, "I got heat but no light". Again, I refer you to 9th Engineer. Read his posts, the way they are written and how people have responded to him. It's not always what you say, it's how you say it.
There. I feel like a bit of a sucker for taking this seriously, but at least I feel I have made an effort now.
