Words Continued...

Semantics. I don't care about semantics. Tell it like it is. Any time this word is used you must understand that I realize that everything you are about to say is pure bullshit.

Gay marriage. For God's sake, get over it. They are supposed to have the same rights as you whether you like it or not. Besides, in siding against it your are actually taking your right to marry anyone you want away as well. Sure, you may never use it, but isn't it nice to know you have the freedom to? It's really not the end of the world.

Gay marriage again. It's not gay marriage, it's marriage. We don't call it traditional meaning straight marriage, so stop using it.

Civil Unions. Same thing, different name. Give it up. There is no sanctity in marriage, as it should be. It is the union of two people into a social and civil contract stating that they will love each other. Why do we need such a thing?

Red State/Blue State. The opinions of the majority do not reflect the opinions of everyone. This is the flaw of republican (not the party) democracy.

Democracy. We do not have a democracy. We have a representative democracy or a republic.

The Parents Council. Why don't you actually parent your kids instead of complaining about why the television, movie, and music industries aren't doing it for you.

Spin. As in in the news industry. Everything, even the truth, has some sort of bias. The difference is that I think the truth is liberal and you think it is conservative. I am right. Guess what's left.

Pedophile Priest. No one is above the law. They must all be tried and the guilty convicted and sent to prison for the same amount of time as any other pedophile. The cloth is not immunity. Those who partake are criminals.

Katrina victims. I see the point, there was a big disparity across ethnicities. Stop reminding me. News is no longer new when it's old news.

Breaking News. Stop interrupting my regularly scheduled program. If I cared I'd be watching CNN or FOX or something else. I don't, leave me in peace. For a couple hours a day I'd like to be able to escape from the painful reality that is the outside world. Leave me alone. If I want to be unhappy I'll ask for it. Thank you.

Disaster. Why is everything weather-related today called a disaster? Maybe it was a catastrophe, or an epidemic, or a mishap. Get these news writers a fucking thesaurus.

And that's all I can think of at this time. There will be more.
