“Life Unworthy Of Life”

Throughout history there have been words or phrases that were perfectly good words or phrases, but which quickly fell into disuse due to sudden unfortuante associations. One cannot bring up a “final solution” without raising eyebrows, even if it’s a final solution to a math question on a test. Or describe a happy person as “gay” or a strange person as “queer” or a good idea as “progressive,” because those words have been co-opted for meanings entirely different from their original meaning. Another phrase one cannot use is “life unworthy of life,” since the Nazis used it in propaganda calling for the extermination of the mentally ill, the tarded, or just those very, very nervous. But despite the unfortunate association, there are times when “life unworthy of life” seems a perfectly apt description. Attend:
Suit charges Upper St. Clair officials made rape victim ‘bait’

The girl’s attorneys contend that two girls were raped in the stairwell that afternoon, including their client.  … 

They claim that several school administrators knew by mid-January that the boy was sexually harassing several girls and had sexually assaulted more than one.

But following the incident, the girl’s attorneys contend in documents, the suspect sent the girl this text message:

“im soo sry i didn’t mean 2 make u cry. i’m cant believe i just raped u well bout time u read dis i mite b dead.”

So he’s not just a multiple rapist… he’s a stupid multiple rapist. Find him a cliff.
