Saying Unalive does not change the fact that someone has died. Content Warning.
Unalive is now used instead of saying someone died. This baffles me because I have been dealing with people dying since kindergarten. I don't understand where the fear of one of the most natural occurrences on earth comes from.

Ba'athism Once Dominated the Middle East... Now It's Gone
