The fall of the english language

The use of sayings such as "oh my god" and "like", usually in the context of "..and he was like...", shows the slow decline of the use of more articulate words to describe things, weather it be visual or emotional. This decline of the use of more descriptive words in everyday life is not the next step in the evolution of language, but the simplification of it to the point that no one will need to think about what to say, but to just say what is already programed into their vocabulary for the certain situations they encounter. 

It could even get to the point that when a person speaks at all, they do not even know what they are saying when they do speak, with such a loss of adjectives and verbs. Although things like nouns may not change as much, as quickly, eventually people, places and things will be grouped simply into a few words. Thanks to these changes in the english language, our lives have the ability to be taken over by an over powering, almost omnipresent force that will control our lives and creating our lives into more mundane existences. 

Through the loss of the descriptive parts of the english language, we will have a lot more trouble speaking up against forces we do not accept and demand not to be reckoned with. Forced to accept our almost inhuman fate of simply acting as a cog in the wheel of manufacturing for a larger power then ourselves, who's only face is that of the advertisements they pound out at us, the human race, or the future generations of certain countries, will have no knowledge of how to stand up for what is right and what is needed to be a human.

The loss of more descriptive and more aggressive language, specially used in the right context, along with this current generations loss of intrest in public happenings that are local to them and involve government altercations, will ultimately lead to the downturn of the human race into somewhat a machine, if anyone has the balls to take the opportunity to do so.

We must not lose our ability to describe or debate.

euthanasia, the good, the bad, and the ugly

after reading many sites to do with euthanasia, for and against, i would have to say, i am for it. BUT however, there are many things wrong with arguments from both sides of the debate.

first, to define euthanasia. most people see it as what it is: assisted suicide. that is, essentially, what it is. it is done for the benefit of the patient, the family and (as sad as it may seem) the health care system. it is done because the patient is in excruciating pain and wish's to die, but does not have the means to do it themselves.

but as i said before, several of the arguments for and against just befuddle me. 

people who are against euthanasia do have some good reasons for their arguments, but one of them that does not make ANY sense to me is the value of life. how valuable is life if you are in constant pain?? it should not be about quantity of life, but quality. it should not be for any religious reasons. the god i know and love would accept this. 

to not let someone have their own choice over life and death and to have their choices dictated to them by political and religious leaders is against everything we are taught to believe in, in our "democratic" society. you see the people and the state they are in. they are depressed because some can barely feed themselves, some cant move without the slightest bit of pain, some cant clean themselves without help. if someone kept their pets in this condition, then the RSPCA would charge them for assault. 

the people against euthanasia for pain related reasons sometimes just say "take more painkillers". fairly blatant. what about people who are paralyzed? you cant take any damn medication for that can you?

but some of the arguments for euthanasia also do not make entire sense to me. they have used the words "terminal illness" as an example for euthanasia. but people with terminal diseases/poisonings/injuries can live for quite a while. no one can predict what time they may die. they have had to use many other names for it, all of which can be interpreted in many different ways. they have to define their ideas and names with more accuracy. 

but when weighing up the arguments, believe me, it is easy to see it is almost best (but not the easiest decision to make) to opt for euthanasia for a loved one. personally.... i would HATE to make the decision, but i respect anyone who does have to make the decision and opts for euthanasia. 

so to all political leaders, religious leaders and "ethicists", stop dictating peoples choices to them. everyone should have a right to say yes or no, based on THEIR OWN BELIEVES AND MORALS.
