Ha ha. <BR/><BR/>SRSLY, though: The media won't describe anything "like it is." All this political correctness BS is irritating to no end. I'm currently taking a communications class at our local JC (Liberals and Obama followers galore), and we did an entire week's segment on euphemisms. We also got lots of practice saying things in a "less offensive" manner. UGH. False Speak (a.k.a. LIES) is what it is. <BR/><BR/>So I'm not in the least surprised that someone attempting suicide would be considered a "victim" by these mindless media weenies (oh, she probably had a baaad childhood!). And don't even get me started on "undocumented immigrants/workers." >:(Miz Minkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066791877622449156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-39205751945041798202009-04-09T12:18:00.000-05:002009-04-09T12:18:00.000-05:00How about "suicidal idiot"?How about "suicidal idiot"?closedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14642713237849918722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-18293576875071808692009-04-09T11:38:00.000-05:002009-04-09T11:38:00.000-05:00Ahh... the poor English language.Ahh... the poor English language.Vinogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145696108646897751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-67924288082837978542009-04-09T10:34:00.000-05:002009-04-09T10:34:00.000-05:00Ah, but the jumper was obviously sad, or upset or ...Ah, but the jumper was obviously sad, or upset or something.
