If you want redefine language, that is fine, but in real life I will not accept being called a murderer.
1984 was not a manual.
- vinay427 6y ago> in real life I will not accept being called a murderer. What do you mean by not accepting it? You're welcome to disagree with the classification, of course. That's how we start a hearty discussion on values, morals, politics, etc. In real life, I would also hope that I use a more tactful strategy that doesn't immediately fall back on a term that will polarize my interlocutor.
- the-dude 6y ago> What do you mean by not accepting it? I will make sure you will never call me a criminal of the worst kind ever again. In my experience, not very much is needed.
