Urban Campers
« on: March 17, 2009, 08:24:41 AM »
I was questioning an Atlanta Police Officer in court this morning and he referred to the defendant as an "Urban Camper."   ???  Never having heard that term before I asked him what it was.  He said that they have been advised by "a higher authority" in the police department that "homeless" was a demeaning term and they were no longer allowed to use it.  From now on they were to refer to such people as "urban campers."   ::)

Atlanta is nothing if not politically correct...  :-\

It is pretty darn silly out there in PC land. An old person is now gerontologically advanced. A junkie is now a substance abuse survivor. Midgets or dwarfs are now vertically challenged. And the lower class is now downtrodden, just to name a very few changes that have happened since Politically Correct came along. I think the best one though is: Politically Correct = Just plain rude.

I wonder what they call them in San Francisco, where you literally have to watch your step to avoid tripping over them.

Heck with em. Was taught ie it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, its a duck and calling it a water fowl won't make it taste any different. Call it what is. Probably why I stay in trouble most the time

Was it "1984" or "Brave New World" that had Newspeak. The guys who wrote both books had a pretty good idea of where the world was headed, just missed a little on the timing.

Is "higher authority" the politically correct term for "idiot" now? I keep wondering how so many "idiots" get to be in positions of "higher authority".  ;D

I saw something on the news the other night,tents being made for the homeless,looking for donations.honorable cause for 500.a tent .a yuppie obviously. We would put together a whole camping outfit for 500 if we were down on our luck.Probally even throw a used handy in with it.

"Newspeak"  As I see how fast this is happening, it stops sounding funny and starts sounding scary.

Dean51:

Your post is right out of the Unintended Consequences Department. San Francisco did this some years ago, using sections of large concrete pipe instead of tents. They discovered that the bums were getting territorial about their pipes and started killing each other over territorial disputes. SF took the pipes away after the strong pattern emerged.

i   once  had  an  urban  camper  that ecavated  a cave  inside  my dupster

the dumpster  was placed  under a 2nd story  window

you should have seen him  bail out and run  when  i dumped the wheel barrel out the window

then  one  day  i stepped  in  his  ''droppings''

called  the police...that was the end  of  that one
