First, perhaps you don't know, but both these terms were crafted by a very know marketing genius in U.S.A. I don't recall the name of the guy (the team actually cause he didn't do it alone), but a few days ago there was a documentary about it in Discovery Channel or Odiseia Channel. I didn't make up the examples, the guy clearly gave this examples and he was the one that created it.
About "Global Warming vs Global Climate Changes": You are thinking about what may be the consequences in the future (and it's true that a sudden rising in temperature may stop the Gulf Current and put Europe in to a ice age) not about what is happening, and that is clearly that the Earth average temperature increased several degrees during the last century (how many degree is a matter of debate). This term was forget a few years ago, because is sounds much better to average Joe, Global Climate Changes (doh, what's that, that's normal, here in my state, it snows in the Winter and its sunny in the Summer... we are smart here, we always knew there are climate changes, and we bet it's the same all over the world, sunny in Summer, cold in Winter).
About "War Against Middle East vs War on Terror": sorry my mistake, what I meant (and those were the previous word used) was "War in Middle East"... which got nothing to do with terrorism... the real term should really be "War for Oil"
Real Sentence vs Bush Sentence: Global Warming vs Global Climate Changes War Against Middle East vs War on Terror Palestine vs Middle East
If you check around, not only the media already adopted these political correct terms, but even the normal people did it... in fact even the geeks do it all the time now.
I clearly remember some years ago, you would always see the words Global Warming and Palestine... it's frightening to see that in so little time the changed the way people refer to the events in a way that they become clearly more forgiving to the politicians and they don't transmit the really dimension of the facts.
But perhaps it's just me, perhaps I'm dreaming... are we fighting against the Eurasia or Eastasia now ?... this morning in the news it said we are fighting against Eastasia in fact that we were always fighting against Eastasia and that Eurasia is our eternal ally, but I remember that in yesterday newspaper it said that we were fighting against Eurasia.
Perhaps I'm crazy... perhaps the chocolate ration really increased since last week.
It's like walking in the surface of the earth, it never ends you can go on and on because it's a sphere.
In the universe the 3 major spatial dimensions (modern physics starts to predict more but they are much smaller than an atom), are folded like in a 4D sphere so you also (and the light itself) go around and around...
It's not like the universe is inside a box and you can get off at the end of the universe and jump to the box.
Well, I can believe there was elcetoral fraud, after hearing your president comments I can believe anything is going on in U.S.A. controlled by his administration.
But you got 2 hypothesis and both are really very bad:
1 - The elections were manipulated. Well, nobody know, the media don't talk about it, and let's face it nothing is going to happen to amend it. Isn't this of an extreme hypocrisy to a country that invaded so many countries and spilled so much blood in the name of Democracy?
2 - There was no fraud and the majority of the Americans really voted for him. This is absolutely unbelievable and proves that more than 50% of the Americans are really brainless. Your president is a real idiot, he is dumb. Damm, if he was some kind of evil genius I could understand, he would be smart and knew how to manipulate the public... but this is not the case, he is not even smart enough to be evil, he is just a very stupid and dumb idiot that you elect for president and that is ripping you country... and worst, the other countries in the world.
Well, it's not strange that most of the top scientific production of U.S.A. is made by people coming from Europe, India and Japan, seems like the natives (well, not the natives, but the ones that robed the lands, raped and killed the real natives to start with), just don't have the brainpower to think of much more complicated things than where the price of hamburgers is lower today.
The guy you elected for president is a real jerk. I wonder if U.S.A. television channels even posted is comments when he thought we was talking offline with Blair in the G8. I couldn't care less if he is ripping our country apart, but I'm tired of your stupid wars... you know, my car uses oil, and it's not nice that because of you the oil price almost doubled in here during the last 5 years and that we had terrorist attacks in Europe because they start to associate us with you.
And please, don't come to me with that stupid excuse, "Oh, we also don't like our president, we are nice freedom and peace loving people really, it's just that our president is a jerk." That could pass during the Bush 1st mandate, but then YOU IDIOTS ELECTED HIM AGAIN there is no more excuse.
And to you all that start with the idiot comments "Get over it, you are just jealous you are not an American!" For christ sake, read a book people, you should do it at least once in your lifetime you know!
This is really for me the last stupid argument, now I'll NEVER get a PS3 if all that this Sony CEO is saying comes to be truth.
The main purpose of buying a console is that you don't have to upgrade to have great games that run as intended in your machine.
If you look at games like Lord of War in the PS2, you have to give credit to the programers for being able to squeeze so much performance from such a limited hardware by today standards.
When would you ever be able to play something like that in a 250MHz Pentium? Never in your life, cause programers don't feel inclined to get as much performance as they really could from older computers because they know that people will upgrade it.
Now the same will happen with the PS3 console and every 2 years or so you will have to waste money to upgrade it, when programers could really just try harder and squeeze a bit more of it's performance.
No PS3 for me, now I'll wait until Christmas and compare Wii with Xbox 360 by then and buy the one that offers best quality/price ratio.

I would really like to thank you all.
Now I can sleep well in the evening knowing that after a day full of downloading copyrighted music and movies, not paying a cent for them and still making copies of what turns out not to be junk to give to my friends... I'm doing my role to make this world a better place to live.
No really, sometimes I'm glad I live in Portugal, a country with the shittiest legal system in EU.
Every trial takes ageeeeesss, in fact many cases prescribe.
So, to the hell with RIAA and all those idiots, in here, they don't stand a chance against the system, I can just say "Ok, take me to the courts over those downloaded songs." and I know I can prolong the trial for years until they get tired.:-D
Way to go guys at The Pirate Bay. Make those money amassing idiots at the USA understand that their corrupt government can only assure them that they have all the rights to explore and steal the people that are living in the USA.
About the stupid lies that Hollywood keeps telling you, that they don't have money to make movies if you don't allow them to steal you every penny.
How did you managed to survive all those years until the VHS and DVD apeared?
If you do bad movies... to hell with you.
If you do mediocre movies that I have interest to see you it goes... you know what I do!
If you do good movies I'll go the the cinema (although I already feel that 5 is too much)!
If you do excellent movies I'll go to the cinema and I'll buy the DVD... if you add something to the DVD, a booklet would be nice!
So you morons at Hollywood stop stealing us, you already earn much more that is acceptable, do you know that are people dying of hunger out there?
