The Word Nazi's and their growing black list - StLucieBengal - 10-27-2015 This should make the language gestapo happy. Evidently now you are a racist if you say someone is a hard worker. RE: The Word Nazi's and their growing black list - fredtoast - 10-27-2015 She actually has a veru good point. It is absurd that the same faces that call all poor people "lazy" refer to a current member of Congress as a "hard worker". But you can't just de-rail an entire conversation to make that point. And no need to go to the "cotton pickers" line. RE: The Word Nazi's and their growing black list - PhilHos - 10-27-2015 (10-27-2015, 06:10 PM)fredtoast Wrote: She actually has a veru good point. It is absurd that the same faces that call all poor people "lazy" refer to a current member of Congress as a "hard worker". Ignoring the fact that no one calls ALL poor people lazy, her point is STILL not a very good one. You can be a hard worker regardless of your field. Hard worker is not relegated to only certain fields of "work". Chad Johnson was a hard worker, yet what was he doing? Learning to be a better PLAYER of a game. Surely, that doesn't compare to a mine worker or a stay-at-home mother! Give me a break. What I call a hard worker is someone who puts in that extra effort to perfect their craft and/or do their job to the best of their ability and/or sacrifices some of their own personal life/finances/time/etc for whatever it is they're working on or towards. I will grant you that I do not see many hard workers in politics (and I cannot say if Ryan would qualify as a hard worker), but one could theoretically be a hard worker without having been a slave or a mother. |
