Its called Language lots of words have the same meanings. Each one having a varying degree of scincerity to it.

Is this a serious thread or just to get the crap flowing?

Put it another way, someone you know has just had a baby:

"Congratulations on the birth, job well done"

Or

"Well done, you have just forced a small person out of you vagina"

It's what has happened but you don't put it like that because it is extremely insensitive and you will come across as a socially inept fool.

GHahaahah.

I have been saying sociopath since the first few posts.

Lack of empathy isn't a good thing in a person.

Why do people, when talking about death, talk in terms of lost, passed away and fell asleep etc? This even extends to the actual headstones in the cemetery.

I have always found it puzzling to be honest, do people do it because they struggle to deal with death or is a merely a phraseology?

I don't know this as a fact but could it be to do with religion? Someone passed on to heaven, lost to the living but gone to heaven etc?

I suspect the latter.
