TimmySmith 2,782 Posted December 17, 2017 I agree, but none of those words are euphemisms.Obfuscations would be a more apt description. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 460 Posted December 17, 2017 Basing things on science and evidence is obfuscation? It's exactly as much obfuscation as you're trying to pull off with your characterizations of what we're talking about here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorRock 708 Posted December 17, 2017 Basing things on science and evidence is obfuscation? They are not basing anything on "science" or "evidence". There is a reason they keep changing the name of the boogeyman. First it was "global cooling" then when that was proven wrong they called it "global warming" and when that was proven wrong they called it "climate change". If these scientist were accurate with their "science" and "evidence" the coastal cities would already be underwater. Eliminating bullshit phrases from a budget is very reasonable. And lol at the lefties pretending to care about science. They believe there are 27 genders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who said anything about climate change? “Evidenced based” has been part of the scientific vernacular for decades. Of course you nimrods think science is all a big conspiracy.

penultimatestraw 473 Posted December 18, 2017 Thanks. I asked because it seemed kinda fake. Apparently not. I presume the idea is to make it harder for the CDC to request funding for things related to abortion and transgender, but I'm not a fan of any censorship. Yeah, I thought it was fake too. Agree regarding censorship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,999 Posted December 18, 2017 How is using different terminology censorship? That word is getting thrown around a little too easy these days, diluting its effectiveness. Two sides disagree over the terminology. Well, you can only use one word for these purposes. Nobody is stopping anyone from using the other ones. That would be censorship.

The President has forbid the use of certain words in CDC budget documents. How is that not censorship? Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or "inconvenient" as determined by government authorities or by community consensus.

Hardcore troubadour 12,999 Posted December 18, 2017 The President has forbid the use of certain words in CDC budget documents. How is that not censorship? So should they use both words? The government didn't ban the freakin words. They just aren't using them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm guessing Obamas admin never changed terminology? Lol. Go outside man.

Baker Boy 1,507 Posted December 18, 2017 There are islands that were inhabited and now underwater. Google the republic of Kiribati. They are already making arrangements to evacuate their entire population permanently to other countries. There are entire cities that have been under water for hundreds and thousands of years. This is nothing new, it has been happening since the end of the last ice age over 10,000 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the man made part, thats debatable I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
