Even democratic type can say hey, racism is wrong! and in...|||For example, there was author on McGill Daily who demanded that innocent before guilty was an outdated principle because it was racist. There's no words for people of this calibre.|||Maybe I was too hasty with gamma. It was unfair.

But they have wide connotations. I agree that language can take on...|||I am not going to take the bait of your very childish attempt to be patronising, so I agree that conversation should end here.|||The meaning of language is static, that is why we have dictionaries. Words do not change their meaning, it's only their application that grants them new meaning. I agree that you can describe a fish...|||?!?!!?!? That isn't how language works: meaning doesn't change according to who you are talking to, meaning is static.
