In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

deontology [dee-on-tol-uh-jee]

ethics, especially that branch dealing with duty, moral obligation, and right action.

[1820-30; < Greek deont- that which is binding (stem of déon, neuter present participle of deîn to bind), equivalent to de- bind + -ont- present participle suffix + -o- + -logy]

Wouldn’t it be funny if Rachel Jeantel was the one who wasn’t really black?

I always say “there are no stupid questions... Just stupid people.”>

I used to be like you until I realized that stupid people do ask stupid questions.

Rachel Dolezal breaks her silence with a Today Show appearance. She stayed true to her own deontology and said clearly "I identify as black". Crazy White Lib Alert

Deontology: A crackpot religion adhered to mostly by Hollywood actors that hold to the belief that Dionne Warwick and Dion Dimucci were secretly married and had a set of quintuplets. These quintuplets will return to take over the world therefore bringing in the "Age of Belmont."


Hey, It's silly but it sounds way better than the current administration

A little common sense, compassion, and deontology from the soft spoken South Carolina senator.

Unshaven armpits look nasty - they look like the person doesn’t bother with their hygiene

She has those buzz words down pat doesn't she? She "identifies" as black - she has struggled, she's a survivor, blah blah.

I saw a funny bit on line the other day - two young black guys has some kind of news blog. They were laughing at her and said if she got pulled over by a cop she would be quickly pulling off her braids saying, "it's ok, I'm really white" lol

Apparently the St. Louis baseball Cardinals employ some questionable deontology in their scouting and player research departments; or perhaps they just figure that other folks do a better job so why not just steal their data.

Cardinals Face F.B.I. Inquiry in Hacking of Astros’ Network

It makes you wonder why they decided to hack not only good teams, but also the Astros. They must agree with bill belichek's philosophy that "cheating never goes out of style; no good organization stays on top by playing within the rules." One should note -- goodly sums of money in player contracts often hinge on these data, so there is plenty of motivation for teams with questionable integrity to steal them if they can.

Yeah, well I identify as a seven foot tall athletic bi-racial specimen with 2 percent body fat, but I still can't dunk a basketball or run up and down the basketball court twice without having to stop and catch my breath.
