CFC OT Dirty Words thread

[downtown]

No Mods, this isn't about swearing.

It seems to me that there are some words here in OT that are thrown about all the times, in the incorrect context, to justify crappy opinions. Some of them almost make my eyes bleed.

You know what I'm talking about! Post some other CFC OT "Dirty Words"

MY LIST SO FAR

1. Logic
2. Reason
3. "Basic Economics"
4. Communism
5. Socialism

GO ON!

 

[Gogf]

"True Conservative."

 

[The Yankee]

6. Democrat
7. Republican
8. Bush
9. Clinton
10. Imperial/Empire/any variety of that sort

Meh, that's all I have right now. You can tell I hang out in the political threads.

 

[Fifty]

logic is easily the highest on my list. there's so many kids around here who've taken a few math and comp sci classes and thus think they understand logic as it applies to arguments... its ridiculous.

ignorance.
reading.

 

[Stewbert 08]

"proof" and "theory" make me want to break things.

 

[R.B.]

Hmm... would a thread entitled "Anyone up for explaining to me what quantum physics is?" be one of these dreaded threads?

 

[Stewbert 08]

Oh, and "socialist" of course. Especially infuriating when coming from people in poor red states that are net receivers from the federal budget as opposed to, ahem, California and NY, which get back about 75c for every dollar we send...

I made a thread about that a month or two ago. The state that gets the shaft the most is New Jersey. Lemme dig it up, it is ironic to say the least.

Thread.

federalism=socialism?

 

[Gogf]

Rational self-interest has got to be up there somewhere too. If I hear that one more time... :rant:.

 

[The Yankee]

Used to be "objectivism" or variants thereof...but that's died down lately.

 

[Irish Caesar]

Most uses of the n-word.

That is, nuclear.

 

[History_Buff]

'Liberal', 'Conservative', 'Libertarian' and just about any other political label.

 

[mrt144]

tank
bias
??

 

[Stewbert 08]

federalism=socialism?

Oh boy, that reminds me, "constitution" has to be reaaaal high up on this list when we're done with it.

 

[Integral]

Throwing around the word "socialist" drives me mad.

Also, generic talk of "reducing government spending" without qualifying what to reduce irks me.

"Ron Paul" is becoming a tiring phrase, but I don't know exactly why.

 

[The Yankee]

Science
Creation(ism)
Religion
Christian
Muslim
Atheist

I've asked my friends that once, is it really that annoying? (to hear people inquire about it)

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Terrorist is just abused in all sections of our society.

It never gets used, but I hate it whenever someone goes into a rant about "anarcho-sydicism" or however you spell it, because they keep spouting that word over and over.
