If the "pro-lifers" can call pro-choicers "pro-abortion" then I think Anti-Choice is wide open for use. :shrug:

Some of those are pretty much just words - Marxism, Feminism, Liberal etc - I mean having a problem with words is a bit weird. Have a problem with the concepts, by all means.

"Unborn Child" - what's wrong with that? What else do we call it? Mind you, lots of those wind me up too, particularly "Think of the Children" and anything ending with "thinking". Like "Blue Sky Thinking"... god, I hate that.

"Never Forget" ?? Is there some "Anti-Mac Thinking" going on here? :(

some phrases are so overused that they become meaningless and trite. it's not weird to be annoyed with their overuse. 60-odd years ago, george orwell wrote that people have lost the ability to use language and instead string together endless quantities of meaningless catchphrases instead of thoughtfully crafting sentences to express thought. the prevalence of these (often obnoxious) phrases in contemporary rhetoric illustrates how right he is. :shrug:

That I will agree with, but it's not the fault of the words, which are perfectly sensible and appropriate words when used in their correct contexts. It's when they're stretched by intellectually challenged individuals, drenched in platitudinous drivel on a daily basis and used in place of words those people haven't learned yet, that they become annoying. But then we don't have to listen to those people. Words are only as fine as the people who use them.

Im sorry but this:
is AWESOME!
