    I'm on this side. I grew up saying that word but it doesn't mean anything to me to stop saying it. I may slip up from time to time but I try.

    If there's anyone on Earth that deserves a little protection and sympathy it is someone who has a condition that is no fault of their own.

    My brother contracted a mental illness just before he got out of the Marines. I never use that term and am offended when I hear it.

    Not entirely true. Sometimes I do put up a feeble argument but in the end I always lose. And you know what, I almost always wind up apologizing for not seeing it her way in the first place.

    Exactly. Except that in the military you often got to quit standing at attention and/or break formation.

    My apology always ends up being "I shouldn't have raised my voice"

    1 out of 25 I admit to actually being wrong.

    Yeah, women must get together and as a group decide that they need to make men apologize for raising their voice.

    What can I do? I can't cook and I can't clean for a damn.

    Merkley won't even win his own state.

    He voted against closing the ‘catch-and-release’ loopholes used by child smugglers, and his reckless open borders policies are responsible for the permanent separation of thousands of American families who have been forced to bury their loved ones.

    No one is taking a public safety lecture from Sen. Merkley, whose own policies endanger children, empower human smugglers and drug cartels, and allow violent criminal aliens to flood into American communities.

    The victims of Sen. Merkley’s reckless open borders policies include his own constituents: a 65 year-old Oregon woman who was sexually assaulted by an illegal alien that had been previously deported 20 times prior, and a young Oregon girl who was allegedly raped several times by a twice-deported illegal alien.


    Sen. Ron Wyden shares equal blame with Sen. Merkley for these American women's lives being destroyed, and their lame attempts to shift blame and distract from the facts will catch up to them.

    Those are all substitutes for the word retard, and no less offensive to the target.

    But hey, call a spade a spade.

    Undocumented aliens have a lower crime rate than American citizens as a whole.

    Please don't try to demean people by calling them 'spades'.

    Whooptie frigging do. Such a tired argument. ASSUMING it to be true.

    Example....(not my wife) American's wife was killed by an illegal alien driving drunk. He's been caught and deported ten times.

    Liberal....AMERICANS DRIVE DRUNK TOO.

    So stupid.
