So you might label individual newsmen within those organizations as morons, but does that apply to the entire organization too, consisting of hundreds of people? Does the presence of one moron, make everyone else morons too? If some skydivers are morons, does that mean that all skydivers, and also the USPA are morons too?

Next thing you know someone will start calling people who disagree with them on gun control "gun-o-phobes." The term "gun-o-phobe" is not a pejorative term, it's a descriptive term. It simply means someone who is afraid of guns, in the same way that an acrophobe is someone who is afraid of heights. It says nothing negative about them as a person, but simply accurately describes their feelings on a subject. The word "moron", on the other hand, is quite different. It's definitely a pejorative, intended to criticize someone's intelligence and judgement. So, comparing my use of the word gun-o-phobe to the use of the word moron, is an invalid comparison.

So someone could call you an Islamophobe or a homophobe and you would not find it pejorative? It is clear that you use the term "gun-o-phobe" as a pejorative; you often describe how hypocritical, stupid, ignorant etc such people are. You pigeonhole anyone who disagrees with you over gun control as one of those "gun-o-phobes." Which is fine; that's what SC is for. It is funny to see you offended when other people do the same thing, though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pirana 0 #24 February 9, 2012 I'd cut him some slack. Some of The Onion stuff is so well done that if a person had no exposure to that flavor of comedic relief they could be honestly deceived. If he picked up a hard copy and didn't get it, that might fall into the extremely naive category, but exposure to a single online article is different. Had a boss once that was a genuine silver spoon type. Had to drive a few hours back from a meeting instead of fly, due to weather. Stopped at a McD's and he sat down and was waiting for the waitron. 50-some years old and had never been to an eatery without waitrons.
