It is not PC to say stabbed

According to the Globe the victim suffered a puncture wound to the head during a physical confrontation, What is the PC term when a victim is shot?

Every time I read the term "PC" I get ready for some burst of pointless nonsense and it never disappoints. What kind of nutty liberal agenda do you think the Globe has in saying "puncture wound" rather than "stabbed?"

That's wasn't a PC comment. You usually hear about stabbings in the body/back/chest/legs. If you have a knife out, your opponents head doesn't seem like the most viable target...

Classy

But puncture sounds so much more classy than stabbed. Stabbed is so pedestrian.

That's some added rage right there. Who stabs someone in the head?

Very funny clarification here.

Good points there

In short, you can't stab someone's skull. Unless you have Hulk like strength, perhaps.

Or you stab them in the eye. Don't forget the eye.

I think Adam needs to change the headline to "Man Punctured at Forest Hills Station."

{sigh}

Sometimes the commenters on UHub give me hope for humanity.

But other times, like now, when someone was violently attacked, the callousness of the commenters and their desire to be "funny" is utterly disappointing and reminds me that truly we are all a bunch of smug assholes.

Yes. Yes, we are.

But in my opinion it beats being a humorless hand-wringer. All we know here is that the stabbed person--or punctured person--was last seen walking down Washington Street so we're not talking about a bloodbath here. The fact that the comments sidetracked into a discussion about the PC-ness of wound terminology...well, that's the sad state of things.

Political Correctness

Is not a noble thing. And insistence on PC terminology is simply a way of stifling dissent and intellectual discourse. No wonder the Marxist and communist loved and loved it so much.
