That is your choice.

To force it on society is to remove freedom from society.

That is not a choice. That is a consequence and it has consequences.

You're not going to be jailed for being disrespectful (or "un-pc" if you like); but other people might not want to spend time around you anymore...

I find more people are sick of PC than are a fan of it. You might have different peers though.

I can only speak for myself here, but I never found being "PC" to be incongruent with how I normally treat people. Never in my every day interactions have I considered whether or not what I do or say is PC.

Treating people with respect without expecting anything in return gets you far.
