Should I Thaw Sausages Before Cooking Them

Euphemisms hurtful

heard on the radio some surprising statements of the minister call in equality stating that the new abortion law -including free abortion in the first fourteen weeks of pregnancy, " prevent unwanted pregnancies and protect children . " The more I try to get used to deceitful politicians or autistic, too bad, able to keep our economy is the most prepared of the world shortly before doubling the rate of unemployed in Europe, or that no standing without assistance will be known shortly before that more than one million unemployed without any subsidy, I keep seeing overcome this cynicism / autism insulting the that our politicians are handled.

say that abortion free from the age of 16 without parental consent "prevent unwanted pregnancies" is like saying that to free candy at the start of the colleges will reduce childhood obesity. As an aside remember the paradox that the law prohibits explore gynecologists girls under 18 unless accompanied by their mothers. Of course, the report calls for flying the Minister girls aged 16 years "women children", a euphemism to justify the autonomy of decision in front of their parents.

The measure will reduce the children, yes, but no pregnancy, which are likely to increase the knowledge there is always a "final solution" in which parents do not even need to get to know. Only a little or demagogic mind can conclude that therefore "logical" to terminate pregnancy is to have fewer pregnancies, and if the consequence of closing the tap is that there were fewer taps. Sorry for the simplicity, but it is less that of the minister. Well no, so whether that shortage is in the minister, as a euphemism used to exploit the lack of others, the result is unfortunate. Abortion is a human drama and a social failure, and if the law decriminalizing and tell yourself not to euphemisms and hurtful.

fashionable euphemism But this affects not only politicians. I know the press of the fierce controversy over the award of the Medal of Arts to a particular bullfighter. I never read news for bulls, an atavistic ballast worst of our "culture", but in this case I drew a headline - Whistles and palms fanning the controversy of the Medal of Fine Arts - following the logic which I expected outrage of citizens or because the Cabinet had considered in the category of "fine arts" the cruel actions of the killers in the bullring.

But no, the outrage gathered by the newspaper was completely implausible. Comes from other butchers and related to the "task" to protest because the recipient does not collect sufficient merit his credit. "It is a bullfighter who is good, but neither an artist nor a face," say the critics. Euphemisms again, this time complicated by jargon taurine, where the pathetic reality of poetic flourishes around to name the unnamable. For example, the "task" is a perverse way to trick, scare and wound up killing a powerful herbivore attack only to be cornered. The "bullfighter" is obviously the slaughterer that becomes a spectacle of animal torture, and "artist and figure" escapes me, is for the initiated. The climax of that cynicism senseless, insensible to the progress and lacking the most basic human compassion, raised to butcher the degree of "master" the shameful spectacle "National Day" and the atavistic torture of Fine Arts.

If euphemisms were raised, such as bullfighting, the category of Fine Arts, the "intellectuals" bullfighting, Mrs. Bibiana and many other politicians would be among the most deserving candidates. Of course it is possible that some of these candidates would not have been creditors of the award if the euphemistic law reducing unwanted pregnancies had a few decades of life.
