It is to express myself and to convey my point of view.Those words are part of our vocabulary and for us to use.If I use the word "ordinary" in a sentence like: "They were ordinary middle-class conservative Americans, appalled at their current president, but having voted Republicans nonetheless, because they were deeply untrustful of the other candidate"  it paints a pretty good picture of what I mean, I think.Why would I need to do that ? I thought I made it pretty clear that I accept any human being on principle.I don't think so. I can accept anyone and still acknowldge that they are in the minority or in the majority.That's spicy language. I don't feel childlike because I use it. That's also provocative language, though not disrespectful of specific people (I even said I like hippies).I'll love my kid, no matter what. That's what counts, and not me agreeing with him or not.</blockquote>
