Journal Journal: Things I Can Do Without
There are few things that annoy me more than sitting down to read a story on Slashdot and having it suddenly turn into a pedantic political bitchfest. "Oh, your Republicans are actually liberal." "No, they're conservative." "What are you talking about? They're fiscal libertarians!" "No, no, no! They're right-wing. It's the left wing that's for intrusions into privacy." "The Republican Party being broad-minded, the privacy of conservative accounting freedom." "The campaign conservatism representative of the copyright accounting financial national assembly of the group of improvement of campaign public finance becomes deformed." "Lie, lie, and the statistic which are severely criticized." "Duck of mother of soccer!" "Huh?"
I am really the sickness of this excretory ones. Er, sorry... I'm really sick of this shit. Here's a hint, people: The word you keep using does not mean what you thing it means, so why don't you save us all some trouble and say what you do mean! I guarantee, using specific terms like "pro-choice, pro-gun-control, anti-inflamatory pain medication" will take up a hell of a lot less space in the long run than a huge debate over the real meaning of the word "liberal."
