Suicide bombers VS Homicide Bombers (by E. Volokh)

‘The term has long annoyed me (well, as long as Fox and others have been using it, which I suppose hasn’t been that long), so I thought I’d repost Juan Non-Volokh’s post on this from two and a half years ago (one paragraph break added):

“HOMICIDE BOMBERS”: I know that it has become fashionable in some circles to use the term “homicide bomber” in place of “suicide bomber.” This is unfortunate. Even though I am generally sympathetic to the political views of those who use the term, I think that it represents a positively Orwellian misuse of the English language for political purposes of exactly the sort that many who use the term would otherwise condemn.

Would it make any sense to refer to a murderer as a “homicide killer”? Should we have called the D.C. snipers the “homicide snipers”? Of course not. Why not? Because it is redundant and the addition of the word “homicide” does not clarify or provide additional detail. If a killer took his own life after that of his victim(s), it would make no sense to refer to him as a “homicide killer.” The same is true here.

Violence in games is a GOOD thing (by Brooks Brown)

“We’ll start this blog off really simply. For those of you who don’t know me – i went to columbine, i was friends with both killers and the killed, had reported the killers to the police, the cops did nothing, etc.

If you look up Brooks Brown on google, you’ll learn a lot about me.

But there is another size to me besides simply being that kid. I’m now 25, i do video work, work on computers, and dear god, i play way too many videogames. Enough that i gave up putting a weekly allowance into my budget – i didn’t budget food, and videogames really were just as important.

I’ve spent the last 6 years of my life trying to figure out why my friends brutally murdered other friends of mine and kids at school. In this process, i’ve gone through many personal changes – some good, many bad – and i’ve also gone down many avenues of thought. One of those avenues is pop culture. Granted, i was sure videogames and movies wouldn’t be a causal factor in why kids do what they do – I play violent videogames all the time, i love violent music, and i love violent movies. And i’m a taoist. I’m a pacifist. It just didn’t seem possible to me. But, i knew i had to figure it out – so i began my journey of learning exactly how videogames do effect you, and how violent imagery has an effect on the human mind.
