What amazes me is that people actually sit around and think this stuff up. What a sad way to go through life.

That is why Aliens come here to watch us, they want to know what they shouldn't do by watching us.

Hey daddy, you are right, those monkeys are funny.

Something funny I found:

Not only are the "ableist words" hyper-sensitive, but some words appear on both lists. Dumb, yes. Oh, wait, "dumb" is a "bad word"! (Or a good word. Depending upon which list you are looking at.)

Here are some "ableist language alternatives":

This is a common-sense analysis of the issue. I think we could safely hand adjudication of the entire issue to this woman.

"Poor" is clearly attacking people on the basis of their wealth. "Feeble" on bodily strength. Funnily enough, one word that I've seen people explode at is "ignorant".

Steven is a woman?

 

[Wildy]

"Poor" is clearly attacking people on the basis of their wealth.

So they're classist.

My mistake. I linked to it via Barbara A. Drescher, and mistakenly gave her credit for writing rather than endorsement.

Please avoid using the emphasized words. Amaze shows an insensitivity to dull and boring people. Sad is an oppressive word the use of which demonstrates your happyarchical privilege. Life is offensive to dead people.

ETA: And actually denigrates those who suffer from delusions. Basically, just stop talking. You're an insensitive clod.

Now please take hold of these two cans while I switch on the A+ Meter.

ETA: Sig worthy.

Congratulations.

At least to the present time, your new word is a googlewhack.

Denigrate ??

Really ??

Do you have any idea where that word comes from and how it affects black people ?

Hey I'm getting the hang of this A++good thing

Interestingly, they do allow the use of "douchbag" which any decent political corrector should point out is a gendered insult and misogynist.

I'm seeing belief being passed off as education and see more parallels to religion over there than I care to.

I just listened to the interview of D.L. Grothe by Justin Vacula on the NEPA Freethought Society Podcast. While it did not name A+ by name, but the discussion lead me to believe that the direction that A+ is taking is certainly contrary from skepticism.

You're a fine one to talk!

 

[Marquis de Carabas]

You're a fine one to talk!

Why do you hate ugly people?

 

[Piscivore]

You're a fine one to talk!

This is offensive to the verbally challenged.

Yes, it certainly is.

Well. . . they are called "Atheism+" and not "Skepticism+."

 

[qayak]

This is offensive to the verbally challenged.

And insulting to the hearing impaired. You dare talk when they can't hear!

 

[Quinn]

Why do you hate ugly people?

Speciesist!

 

[Hokulele]

Speciesist!

Misogynist!

And we are back full circle.

Polygonist!
