Wow. Yeah, wouldn't want committing crimes to have an ongoing stigma associated with it.
I'm not saying that people should solely refer to (hopefully former) criminals re-entering society by those terms (and really, if they are leaving prison, they should be "ex-convicts" not "convicts"), but c'mon. If you are talking about them in a context where referring to their past incarceration is relevant, why NOT use those terms?Last edited by Mister Ed; 05-05-2016, 07:42 PM.

I won't hunt up the article I saw, but this morning I caught a headline when checking my E-mail:
"Girl is raped by her father, village elders have her whipped"

Gene Simmons calls Prince's death "pathetic"

FYI: The real reason Simmons is saying this? He's just pissed Ace didn't invite him to play on his latest record.

'Mass rape' video on social media shocks Brazil
Brazilian police are hunting more than 30 men suspected of raping a teenage girl in Rio de Janeiro, and of putting video of the attack on social media.
The girl, 16, believes she was doped after going to her boyfriend's house on Saturday and says she woke up in a different house, surrounded by the men.
Arrest warrants have been issued, including one for the boyfriend.
The assault has provoked an online campaign against what campaigners call a culture of rape in Brazil.
Conflicting versions of the story are still coming in, but the alleged rape is said to have taken place in a poor community in western Rio over the weekend.
According to a statement she is reported to have given to police, she woke up on Sunday, naked and wounded, and made her way home.
Only days later did she find out that some of the alleged rapists had put images of the attack on Twitter.
A 40-second-video was widely shared and followed by a wave of misogynistic comments, before the users' accounts were suspended.
Speaking to local media, the girl's grandmother said the family watched the video and cried.
"I regretted watching it. When we heard the story we didn't believe what was happening. It's a great affliction. It's a depressing situation," she told Folha de S.Paulo newspaper.
"She is not well. She is very confused. This was very serious."
The attack has shocked Brazil, says the BBC's Julia Carneiro, and campaign groups have been already been calling for protests over the coming days.
There has also been an outpouring of anger on social media, under the hashtag #EstuproNuncaMais (Rape never again). [cont. in link]
