Mitt Romney's Tax Plan

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

I've seen all the tards on my facebook wall post this today. so glad you've joined the mix.
 
Kettle... etc, etc.

I'm sorry, but if you don't see using the word retard as offensive, and think that I've used terms of a similar note, you are out of your ever loving mind.

As someone who not only has people in my family who has special needs, but has spent the greater part of the last decade working WITH people who are called 'retarded' by adults and kids, and hear people say "Oh, that's retarded" or "you big tard", I take great offense when someone uses the term to be derogative towards someone who they don't agree with, or use it to demean someones different opinion/beliefs/etc.

If you're still in your mid 30's and you refer to another adult as a "lib-tard' or a "tard' or a 'retard' or any sort of derivation of that phrase, you need to grow up and realize you're not 14.

And if your best response is "kettle... etc, etc." you might need to also.
 
oh go change your panties.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tard

Any person who is not developmentally disabled, but rather has what is considered normal cognitive faculties but for whatever reason has opted out of using it. Whereas mental retardation is genetic in nature, this form of behavior is environmental usually resulting in too much daytime television, Brittany Spears piped in pop music, and other environmental factors.

That dude right there with the five kids he took to see the movie Basic Instinct Two who has an InSynch ringtone blaring through the movie theatre drowning out the lame dialogue is a tard. (2) That tard who thought he could drive a mile in front of me and cut in front of all of us in traffic is definitely a tard. (3) The fact that dude just asked who wanted to chat in a chat room is a citizen of Tardania.

Like I said... grow up. As if you've never offended anybody on this board. Grow up.

If I offended someone and they pointed it out I don't act like a child and say 'oh yeah? well you're a doody head!"

I man up and apologize. In fact, a while ago PapaG and I had an issue and he pointed out something to me via PMs, and what did I do? I apologized to him and said i was in the wrong.

I didnt go "well jeesh, you should grow up. Everyone gets offended".

Sometimes in your life you have to realize that admitting you were wrong, or shouldn't have said something, doesn't make you less of a man or a person. God forbid you act like you're 35 when you're 35, instead of acting like you're some gangsta hip person who wouldn't dare say that to someone who actually had a developmental problem.


If you can't defend what you say on here, don't say it. And if in your life you say "tard" around people with special needs...well, I feel incredibly sorry for you. It takes a big man to call someone a retard.
 
well, the point is that "tard" doesn't refer to special needs persons.

yeah, like I said. I can say that calling someone a ****** doesn't actually refer to black people, but lazy, or dumb or hopeless people.

Doesn't make it ok to say it.
 
thank you mr. rodgers.

If your worst snide remark is to call me someone who treated people with respect, dignity and is regarded by most people as one of the most genuine people to live, well I take that as a compliment. Thanks.
 
sheeple is a much better word.
 
ok. i'll use sheeple from now on.

I am sorry for all the mentally challenged friends and friends of those aforementioned who I have offended.
 
The evolution of this thread reminds me of the debate I just watched.


Anyway, carry on with the fact-finding 'tard' probe...
 
im kind of out of the loop on this one, mental retardation isnt a thing anymore?
 
I'm afraid to answer you now, so...

both teams played hard.
 
As a sheep fucker, I find offense to your characterization.
