Why would I be pushed into something? The best way to get something done is to ask, demanding never worked for anyone. The fact that you are using the word 'arse' also indicates enough about the level that you're trying to get your point across. I'm glad that there are enough people in this world who are trying to help and support their fellow men and despite your findings I'm also one of them. But to state here that you don't understand the difference between aiding someone who's in need and being forced to do something that everybody deems normal but won't tolerate when it's absent...wow...then I can't do nothing to save you... I think you can do better than that.
I am very amused that you both want to claim a sort of inherent right for people to be rude and not being called out for being rude and at the same time try to sit on a high horse. Being an arse for the sake of being an arse is then exactly how you are justifying your point. Giving up your seat for an elderly/handicapped/pregnant woman/anyone who has difficulty standing etc is, as I stated before, simply known to be good manners stemming from basic common moral sense.
If one feels 'forced' or 'pushed' into that, the problem is not 'political correctness' the problem is the person who believes it is needed to be asked to behave.
