Department of 'Human' Services

Why the need to be specific by using the word 'Human'?

It occurred to me a little while ago that the name change and terminology was quite strange. Is there another department for another species? Why the need to state the word Human? Maybe there are different services or departments for species other than human beings?

I know that Gov refer to the word 'alien' to refer to illegal immigrants but this is just plain weird. The dept was previously known as Centrelink and all Aussies would know of it because it links Medicare, CSA, Welfare, Family Tax Benefits etc.... and then I considered that the logical explanation would be that there must be another form of species other than human on the planet. Perhaps all us human suckers are on a separate system?

I have read a lot of thread about lizard people, grey aliens, the elite etc running the planet, I have always thought that that was outrageous...but not so sure now.

It is also interesting that the word 'elite' is used to refer to those with the power over us and with all of the media over-reprentation of shameful human behaviour and then I considered the religious stories, yanno, the one about shame, God created man and woman (Humans) = there is another distinction, God and Human...

Why the distinction?

Distinctions have been made with the use of various words... either we are really stupid and need to be reminded that we are human, yanno, have it spelt out... or, we are in a category because there is a difference?

As opposed to vehicle services, business services, property services...

it is just pc , here in the uk what was once called the personnel department is now called human resources .
people love to embellish their job titles and make them sound more importent than what they realy are.

there are many other categories of services .. other than human ... think about it for a moment ... have a look in your yellow pages / local ads

I worked for an organisation that has a sub-department termed "canine resources"... yup, this select breed of highly trained dogs even have their own payroll number, scheduled RDO's and they accrue leave entitlements

No "alien resources" there that I know of though.

... but hey, the term "human services/resources" has always bugged me - wtf ... "personnel services" sounds a little more personal.

but do we reallly need it spelt out to us?

maybe that is the secret.... yanno, like those that know they are not human go to a different dept?

but we don't know that ?

and only those that are a different species laugh to themselves that we haven't figured it out?

yes but those examples are available to everyone... it isn't specie specific.

yes that is true too, but personnel is also a word that can be related to the ego.

oh yes, that is correct too. Perhaps I am just being pedantic?

First they came for manpower because it had become people power. Fair enough.... Then they came for Congressman an made it a Congressperson. Okay, even that made sense.. Then some people began suggesting manhole wasn't a proper term and George Carlin wrote jokes.

Now I refuse to submit to the notion of having a Department of "Sentient Life Form" Services just so all bases are touched and covered. lol..... I mean, perspective. The aliens can just accept being called something generic if they go seek help at H.R.

oh that was very good. Political correctness gone mad!!

maybe I took offence because deep down in my sub conscious I am not a Human

So Department of Social Services (DSS)?
That's what some states call it.
Is that okay?

Are you in the States? Maybe DSS will be changed to something else too?

I don't think there is anything wrong with it myself but who knows...

Perhaps you are. What would you call the department that handles all that stuff: payroll, benefits, etc.? I mean, I think "sanitation engineer" for a garbageman or "ecology worker" for someone who cleans up the roadside of trash are silly, too, but it hardly points to an alien conspiracy.

Something sounds fishy about the Department Of Human Services. It sounds like it's for female deer.

Reminds me of that one book they always carry around "How to Serve Mankind".

This is just semantics and over-reaching...

Why do you drive on the parkway......and park in the driveway?....

Somehow, War has changed it's public image too. In WWI, & WWII, the word War was good enough. Then, around 1982 I think, starting with the Falklands, we began calling them "Conflicts". Smaller and snappier than an actual War, and easier to convince public opinion with something that didn't have the cultural scarring that "War" carried. So we had the Falklands "Conflict". Which was jusst as much a War as any other. But the Infernal Bitchlizard WitchQueen of Grantham's popularity was waning, and the word "War" had such negative connotations.

Then in Bosnia, things got a bit surreal. The Balkans were on lockdown. Milosovic's Werewolf Troops were slaying their way right across what used to be Yugoslavia. But they weren't killing the Bosnian Muslims, the Serbs were "Ethnically cleansing" Bosnia.

So instead of sending in Spies to see how the Land lay, the UN sent in "Observers". They weren't Spies, because they had Uniforms on. They had no mandate for Military Intervention, so a Task Force might have been seen by as an aggressive act. So "UN Observers" it was. Then, when intervention was finally decided on, There was no "Invading Army", no Soldiers at all it seemed. Instead of sending in Soldiers,to establish Military control, they sent in a "Peacekeeping" Force.

Now, by this time, there was no peace there to keep, the Balkans were a bloodbath. But there weren't Armies fighting there, there were "Militias". And they weren't at War at all, There was no "War". Instead, there was a "Peace Process" Whatever the # that was. Somehow, "War" had become "Peace". Under the dubious guise of "Air-support", UN Forces were effectively carpet-bombing Belgrade on a daily basis, with all the robust enthusiasm of WWII's Bomber Command over Dresden.

So,now, a state of War, (Sorry,"Conflict") seems to be the dominant paradigm. Only now, we don't fight Armies or Militias, (Afghanistan has seen off two Superpowers now, and they've never even had an Army) we fight "Insurgencies". So basically,any member of what was left of the public, who looked a bit moody, could be classed as an "Insurgent" and either engaged, or detained. But it wasn't Internment. Or a pogrom. It was "Security". Foreign Governments we didn't like, became "Regimes". Their own Police Forces became became "Government Paramilitaries" . Succesful "invasion and conquer" became a rather dull sounding "Regime change". Garrisoned Troops of UN Peacekeepers became "Security Advisors". So watch your backs, because before we know it, Peace might break out. Then we've REALLY had it.

well this is prolly even more farout but when I drove back from Adelaide the other night, I saw a shadow person at the side of the road and # my pants and drove non stop home... I reckon it was a vampire and I am just a poor human being that needs the department of human services...

I know it is farout and prolly crazy but I am starting to think vampires are real..

a tall shadow person standing at the side of the road... omg ! true.. bejeebus... I am going to search for some vamp info. still scared

There are many others but it is just a part of the plan isn't it?

some good common sense responses here.

it's a fair call to call this "political correctness on steroids" - but there is a much larger agenda at work here

the centrelink corporate logo (symbol) is a mother holding a child.
the same symbol was used for the 2009 mother of the year award (Australia)

i don't see it as "differentiating aliens from humans" - rather more in vogue with the current shifts of transhumanism.
the gender roles are being eroded constantly.

this is the new 'human' of the future. it may as well be 'alien' to us.
