Diesel Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 This is another Great news story for the general Cincinnati area... I don't know if any other Cincinnatians have noticed this, but our city has been like this ever since the riots way back when. This, I guess, is just the first story to make national news. Another reason why West Siders rule. 8-) Last.Fm My Bloggy Proud to have served on Tip.it Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren211 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yea, especially towards the Christmas (Oops! I'm sorry) holiday season, people start going crazy over how everything offends them. As a catholic, there are a lot of things that can offend me. Abortion does way more then offend me. premarital sex offends me. But of course, no one listens to MY views. whenever a catholic gets involved, all of a sudden its "catholics need to chill". [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

Barihawk Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Liberals at their finest Because the human race of 6.5 billion people inevitably fall within the two categories of 'liberal' or 'conservative', 'democrat' or 'republican'. No, not only two. Tons of political and social definitions out there. But it is the liberal movement (especially the media) to assign politically correct language. I remember when WMD was Nuclear bombs or Biological weapons but the media had to assign a sexy buzzword. Roadside bombs? IED, of course. It's in the interest of the liberal media (and yes, the media is liberal...even FoxNews) to sell the news. So they have to create hype over things. PC is one of those things. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I remember when WMD was Nuclear bombs or Biological weapons but the media had to assign a sexy buzzword. Roadside bombs? IED, of course. Using terms like that is supposed to make the enemy look "weaker", it has nothing to do with liberalism. Soldiers or elite forces of the opposing nation in war are often called 'hostiles' or 'enemy combatants', even "terrorists". A roadside bomb will be called an "Improvised explosive device" even though it was NOT "improvised" in any way and was an industrially made powerful bomb. Heck, even hurricanes and storms are assigned names, to make them look psychologically "weaker" in the eyes of the public. "Katrina", "Manuel", "Barbara" sound much less menacing than "a destructive pacific hurricane". Independent media will often use the real term such as "nuclear bombs" so the readers get to know the truth, but in times of war, even in the recent years in the US, the government *will* force the biggest medias to use 'toned down' words to make situations look less dangerous or threatening.

Barihawk Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Bluelancer, the government has no control over the major media. I'm willing to bet that aside from putting them at gunpoint, there's really nothing they can do. Media organizations have better lawyers, and a feeling of invincibility. They not only use language to make our enemies seem weaker (as you say) but they use this to make them look like radical freedom fighters or victims of a powerful aggressor. Hurricanes are given those terms not to make them look weaker, but to make them easier to say! "Hurricane 10005 left a tide of destruction in New Orleans" is a lot less sexy than "Hurricane Katrina left a tide of de..."

Bubsa Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Please, by all means, wait. I'd just like to point out that, not only did I find your comment funny, given the 'pleasure', shall we say, of hearing your musings over politics, but stating that you can't be classified and going on to say your stance is absolute: 'Right' is nothing short of ludicrous. Hell, I don't even care if you're joking, I laughed my arse off. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
