And now a brief discussion of politically correct language, between Jonny Freedom and Sally Hitler.

Sally Hitler: You Shouldn’t use that word Jonny, use this word Instead.

Jonny Freedom: Why should I do that?

Sally Hitler: Because it’s not a very nice word, you should never use that word.

Jonny Freedom: Does the word I used differ in intended meaning from the one you suggested I use instead?

Sally Hitler: No they have identical meanings.

Jonny Freedom: Was the word I used inaccurate in any way?

Sally Hitler: Nope your assessment was correct.

Jonny Freedom: So wait why do I need to use your word instead if the one I used was accurate and means the exact same thing?

Sally Hitler: The word you used isn’t very nice and it makes people feel bad to hear it.

Jonny Freedom: So What is it about the word that makes people feel bad? The number of syllables? Which letters are used? Are S sounds intrinsically more offensive than H sounds or something like that?

Sally Hitler: No that would be ridiculous, sorry I mean that would be sanity challenged. The only difference between the two words is the one you used has a negative connotation.

Jonny Freedom: Ohh Okay I see now so it’s the connotation well I’m an idiot. Hey Sally can you tell me what gives a word its connotations?

Sally Hitler: Sure thing Jonny, A word gets its connotations from the way people typically use the word. So if many people use a word to hurt another person it will develop a negative connotation.

Jonny Freedom: Ah okay, One other question though. Since the meaning of the word hasn’t changed wont the new word or term simply be used in the same way by the same jerks that want people to feel badly?

Sally Hitler: Yes that’s highly likely. People don’t become nicer because of a word ban.

Jonny Freedom: And you don’t see at all then how telling people what words they can and can’t say is just an exercise in futility?

Sally Hitler: What does futility mean?

Jonny Freedom: Never mind, hey did you know that according to world-renowned linguists language control is a form of mind control?

Sally Hitler: What? that’s nonsense.

Jonny Freedom: No it’s true; the words you know and use directly impact what you are able to think about. That’s why linguists argue that any society level restrictions on words are unethical because they aim to change peoples thinking by force without consult or discussion. Which is the definition of brain washing. Removing words from language is the exact mind control technique Orwell wrote about in 1984. You are borrowing your tactics from a dystopia novel.

Sally Hitler: But making people feel better about themselves is a noble cause, is a little brain washing really that big of a deal if people are vaguely better off?

Jonny Freedom: So the intended end justifies the means? Even if it doesn’t really work?

Sally Hitler: Yup

Jonny Freedom: Ah I see, just checking, How about you don’t use the words that make you feel icky and instead of ruling over what other people can and can’t say like an authoritarian dictator keep it to yourself. I’ll go back to using tact to determine how I treat people; and will use whatever words I want to say whatever I want.

Sally Hitler: How dare you defy me you bigot, where are the thought police when you need them. what’s tact by the way?

Jonny Freedom: It’s a fancy word that means don’t be a jerk. It’s a word I know because no one has told society they are not allowed to say it yet. There is no such thing as an inherently offensive word.

This has been a brief discussion of politically correct language between Jonny Freedom and Sally Hitler.

Women's rights activists and men's rights activists should be cheering each other on.

They want the same thing, they just specialize in different areas. It’d be like your cardiologist despising your orthopedic surgeon.

And egalitarians are your primary care physicians. We have base knowledge on all the issues and can recommend a women’s or men’s rights person if need be. That system might get something done.

That is, if both parties were to clean up their act

“It’s not my job to educate you”

Actually as someone who claims to be an activist and a supposed resource on the issue at hand…yes it is your job to educate people on it.

The whole point of being an activist is to push for the change you desire and that naturally requires educating people. So if you don’t think it’s your job to educate people then sorry, you’re not an activist. You’re just a knee-jerk reactionist who wants to be angry and yell at people.

This is some select limited-edition egocentrism right here.

"News is news and spin is spin, and when you introduce the second to the first, what you have isn't news anymore. Hey, presto, you've created an opinion.

Don't get me wrong, opinion is powerful. Being able to be presented with differing opinions on the same issue is one of the glories of a free media, and it should make people stop and think. But a lot of people don't want to. They don't want to admit that whatever line being touted by their idol of the moment might not be unbiased and without ulterior motive.

This piece is opinion. Take it as you will. But get your opinions the hell away from my news."

“Riots grow of intolerable conditions. Violent revolts are generated by revolting conditions and there is nothing more dangerous than to build a society with a large segment of people who feel they have no stake in it, who feel they have nothing to lose. To the young victims of the slums, this society has so limited the alternatives of his life that the expression of his manhood is reduced to the ability to defend himself physically. No wonder it appears logical to him to strike out, resorting to violence against oppression. That is the only way he thinks he gets recognition.”

“After the riot in Chicago that summer, I was greatly discouraged. But we had trained a group of about two thousand disciplined devotees of nonviolence who were willing to take blows without retaliating. We started out engaging in constitutional privileges, marching before real estate offices in all-white communities. And that nonviolent, disciplined, determined force created such a crisis in the city of Chicago that the city had to do something to change conditions. We didn’t have any Molotov cocktails, we didn’t have any bricks, we didn’t have any guns, we just had the power of our bodies and our souls. There was power there, and it was demonstrated once more.”

~~Medications~~

Over the counter medications (stuff you can buy right off the shelf no prescription needed) have a name brand and a generic name. ALWAYS buy generic if it’s available it is literally the same thing and way cheaper usually.

Some names to remember when you’re looking for meds!

Acetaminophen = Tylenol

Used to treat pain and reduce fever. Do not take with Ibuprofen.

Ibuprofen = Advil, Midol, Motrin

Used for pain and fever, is an anti-inflammtory. Is good for period cramps because it is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).

Naproxen = Aleve, Naprosyn

Treats fever, pain, arthritis pain, gout, period cramps, tendinitis, headache, backache, and toothache. Is also an NSAID.

Acetaminophen + Asprin + Caffeine = Excedrin

Usually marketed as “Migraine Relief” as a generic.

Asprin = Bayer

Use for pain, fever, arthritis, and inflammation. Makes you bleed easily so should not be used for periods. Might reduce risk of heart attacks.\

Triple Antibiotic Ointment = Neosporin

Used on cuts, sores, and scrapes to reduce risk of infection and promote healing.

Simply slamming the most elementary particles in existence together releases enough energy to run an entire solar system and everything in it. Petrol, batteries, tidal power -- they're all desperate attempts to scrape up a little bit of leftover fusion.
