JohnQPublic:

An '''alarmist''' is one who tries to alarm others, especially by using exaggerations.

In modern usage, such people can fall under the following categories:
*Some bloggers
*[[Global Warming]] alarmists
*[[Environmental alarmism]]
*Certain Left-Wing websites
*Certain Right-Wing websites
*Nationalist governments which seek to gain the blind trust of the populist by way of inventing threats to national security. See [[Nazi]] and ''[[1984]]''.
*Extremists
*Supporters of [[population control]].
*The [[Liberal media]] on most hot-button issues
Alarmism within the environmentalism movement has been sustained since the 1970s, as noted by Lee Duigon:
<blockquote>
Environmentalism can’t survive without a doomsday scenario. Forty years ago it was “the population bomb,” proclaimed by the infallibly wrong Paul Ehrlich. Soon afterward, it was an impending Ice Age. That has given way to Global Warming—which, in deference to harsh winters and less than torrid summers, is yielding place to the much more elastic boogeyman of Climate Change.<ref>Duigon, L; ''A Review of Environmentalism and the Death of Science''; Chalcedon Foundation; http://chalcedon.edu/research/articles/a-review-of-environmentalism-and-the-death-of-science/</ref>
</blockquote>

JohnQPublic:

'''Lag''' is a slang term for the slowdown that happens when the requirements of a program are greater than the physical capabilities of the computer running it. Lag can be confined to a program running on a single user's computer or, in the case of a program accessed ''en masse'' from a host server, can be experienced by several users at the same time.{{who says}} Lag tends to happen when a computer has lots of data and is using a large chunk of it.

Principle

JohnQPublic:

A '''principle''' is a comprehensive and fundamental [[law]] or doctrine that is held personally. the ten commandments in the Bible are the first recorded principles that correctly distinguish good from evil. Liberals often lack principles, or more accurately good principles, often engaging in underhanded activities such as slander and lies. Some people attribute this to not following the ten commandments or the Bible properly.
