morbidium's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pathetic Euphemisms Interesting bit of news on Fox News right now. They're covering those wildfires in California, the ones they have every year. They're refering to the arsonists that apparently started this blaze, DOMESTIC TERRORISTS Main Entry: ter·ror·ism Pronunciation: 'ter-&r-"i-z&m Function: noun Date: 1795 : the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion - ter·ror·ist /-&r-ist/ adjective or noun - ter·ror·is·tic /"ter-&r-'is-tik/ adjective hmmmmm, so now we can't call arsonists criminals anymore?! We're so fucking obssessed with terrorism in this country now that we need to call criminals terrorists now. Everything is all about terrorism now. This is a prime example of the US govenment and press inflating words to increase their look of intelect and to sound important, not to mention get everyone in the country riled up. The domestic terrorists have struck again! OH NO NOT THAT! Holy shit, domestic terrorism is on the rise! No one is trying to coerce someone into doing as they say by setting California on fire for fuck's sake! Criminals are criminals, euphemisms are euphemisms, deal with it. People keep thinking that if you change the name of the condition, somehow it changes the condition, bullshit! Disabled people sometimes like to be called "differently abled", and no one's "old" in this country anymore, they're all "senior citizens" now. And handicapped.....handicapable?!?!? Please! Give us a break already and stop trying to bullshit the country into thinking we're doomed from all sides, we're not, we have crime, we always have had crime, and terrorism never entered into it. Fucking dumbasses. 7:03 p.m. - October 27, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
