Redlight Elephant

When people don't want to address, debate or offer solutions about the growing issue of the homeless in America.

Wordplay derived from "The elephant in the room" phrase: important issues or subject matter that people tend not to want to discuss, thus overlooking the isuue.

Redlight is a reference to a traffic light; homeless often stand at traffic lights to aquire money from passing drivers.
Michelle was driving home from work and saw a man with a cardboard sign at the taffic light on the corner of Cornell. The Redlight Elephant struck, she wanted to help but drove right by the man.

Jen and Mike were approached by three homeless coming out of the bookstore. They didn't hesitate to walk past without making eye contact. Neither addressed the Redlight Elephant on their walk to the car.

reality tv

A very good example of how easy it is to keep people in today's world entertained. It's always about a group of 20 or so, very retarded people competing in stupid shit and rambling some of the stupidest things ever said. C'mon people, how can watching a bunch of people living inside a house while having their every move recorded be good TV?

The shittiest thing to happen to the U.S. since George W. Bush.

Was started with Road Rules in MTV(figures)
Person 1: Are you going to watch that new reality tv show about 2 monkeys scratching their balls for an hour?

reality porn

Reality porn is porn that focuses more on a story than just pure sex. Contrary to the name, the women who are picked up by the filmer(s) are paid actresses who know what's going on before the guy shows up. However, while the whole event is a set-up, the outdoor portions are not filmed in closed off sets and the people in the background are real civilians.
Street Blowjobs, Bang Bus, and Milf Hunter are examples of popular reality porn sites. As fun as it is to believe their adventures are real, secretly filming a strange girl sucking your dick and posting the video on the internet, or picking a girl up in your van, doing her with the promise of money, and then dumping her off in the boonies and stealing her crutches would be very illegal.

Realist

Realists believe that reality is completely ontologically independent of our conceptual schemes, linguistic practices, beliefs and our perception.

Those who profess realism, also believe that truth consists in a belief's correspondence to reality. We may speak of realism with respect to other minds, the past, the future, universals, mathematical entities, moral categories, the material world, or even thought.

Realists further believe that whatever we believe now is only an approximation of reality and that every new observation brings us closer to understanding reality. Realists also believe that a common understanding of reality brings peace and is the basis for morality.
Realists are members of The Realist Society of Canada and read the Conscientia.
