I don't need special nouns and adjectives

I am not sure which side of this issue you were coming down on, Cobalt, but the point I was trying to make is that this type of language changing is "1984 Newspeak", and attempt to spin events to changing what we call them to try to fool people. Changing "Jungle" to "Rainforest", and all the other "PC" changes are good examples of this.

It is the same thing as the UN resolution we were talking about earlier that called Palestinian Terrorism "Armed Struggle" and Israeli self defense, "Massacres".
