55. all I did, was mention the millions of economic 'unpersons'

made so by this ambitious couple - that's your definition of 'bile'

and there are too many on this site who are far more concerned about the image of their 'idols', than the overall health of the citizens they supposedly 'represent'

Kevin Falanagan, the computer programmer who became despondent after being forced to train his indian H-1b replacement, in the program that Clinton massively expanded, is just an 'unperson' to you

you are offended that i dare mention this 'unperson' because it's not good for the image of your idol, that, in your book, is a 'hater'

Unperson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the George Orwell book Nineteen Eighty-Four, an Unperson is someone who has been vaporized. Vaporization is when a person is murdered by being turned into vapors. Not only has an unperson been killed; they have also been erased from society, the present, the universe, and existence. Such a person would be taken out of books, photographs, and articles so that no trace of them is found in the present anywhere – no record of them would be found. The point of this was that such a person would be gone from all citizens' memories, even friends and family. There is no Newspeak word for what happened to unpeople, therefore it is thoughtcrime to say an unperson's name or think of unpeople
