In response to this giberish, I was just wondering what other words and/or images you would like to see my stupid state eliminate from existence?

Here is one word that should not be eliminated due to it's usefulness:

http://www.****.addr.com/news/word/larry.html

(replace the **** in the URL with a 4 letter word starting with f, ending with k, and having uc in between)

The word "person", which implies a sort of mask, a persona if you will, and not the real, honest being behind it. It should be replaced in all textbooks with Human being, so a Policeman, would become a Police Human Being., or a Human being who is a member of a Police force. See, far more acurate, and it helps the kids in thier english comprehension.

Any mention of Pets, which is such a derogatory word. Use "domesticated mammalian beings", as to avoid the horrid "animal" as well, unless of course yopu are talking about birds and fish, or reptiles, and then you have to say "domesticated Avians", "Aquatic beings" and "reptialian buddies"

I should have thought a little more and turned down the volume on my computer before playing that link! I'm currently at work and the first part of the clip started playing real loud with half of the office being treated to the word "****" at least three times before I managed to turn down the volume.

I hope my boss didn't hear it.

Hey Boris- you are an older person!



"The word "devil" has disappeared entirely, with no replacement."

Perhaps Baal-zebub will be more PC.


"That's because many California textbooks will no longer feature pictures of hot dogs, sodas, cakes, butter and other kinds of food that are not considered nutritious".

I did like the change they made where they took out hot dogs and all sort of other crap food, but some of the changes were counterproductive.

I think it's important for kids to know all of history. It's better to keep the bad stuff in but instead emphasize why we don't refer to certain things the way we used to.
