Actually, it was the fake Libertarian more than you. A real Libertarian wants the economy to control drugs, not the government. Although you've been stereotyping me about conspiracies and all that BS, so you're at fault, too.
OK. And you promise that when those words become general insults, you won't have the same complaint as you do now about retard.
Some people who are below the median BMI are offended by the word "skinny". Some people with less developed senses of humor are offended by the word "boring". Some people with a systematic abundance of DHT are offended by the word "bald". Some people who don't subscribe to political correctness are offended by words like "offensive," intolerant," or "bigot". Should all those words be stricken from our lexicons too?
Every day I'm insulted about 20 times. I feel I have to put up with all the fuckin gits and cockneys. Do I whine about the dolt cretins? They all look alike to me. I can't tell the difference between a twit and a nitwit.
"It shouldn't be used aas an insult..." you wrote above. Why are the words I mentioned acceptable, but that is not? Help me to understand the material difference. Please note I ask as a friend of a family with a daughter with Down's, as somebody who volunteered in the "Challenger Baseball League", and also bristles at others' use of the word "retard". I'm just seeking to understand the logic of those who arbitrarily elevate the importance of one word over another.
When enough people agree that they should, maybe they should. Who am I to judge this early in the game? Retard is a pejorative with a significant, publicly justified movement against it. Don't use it. I let these sorts of things emerge, and follow the lead.
We should combine the n word with retard. Regger! People will know we're insulting them, they just won't know why they should be offended.
It's too much work micromanaging my interactions with every word in the dictionary. If someone tells me that a word I'm using is offensive, it's way way easier to stop using the word like a gentleman than to argue my freedom to be an asshole to this person. It's like when I used the word gyp not knowing the historical meaning and got taken to task by my Hungarian co-worker about it. Now I don't use it because I'm not an asshole. Easy peasy.
I think it's funny how *****rdly has nothing to do with black people at all, but nobody would ever use it because it sounds racist.
As a former manager, it pisses me off that you use the word micromanaging. I'd like you to stop. Be a gentleman. Thanks. As a man, I hate being pressured to be a gentleman. I'd like you to stop. Be a gentleman. Thanks. As an asshole, I feel you are using the word in a derogatory manner. I'd like you to stop. Be a gentleman. Thanks.
I was going to mention something insightful about Mike Brown and the Cavs situation. But in reading this hilarious B.S. for the past few minutes, I've totally forgotten what I was going to say.
Are you some sort of retard. Plus, people usually say retard the timing when speaking about an engine. At least in automobiles.
By the way, I typed retard but pronounced it ra-tard. Nice like. I just want to make it clear how it sounded when I said it in my head. I forgot the ? in my previous post but I am too dumb to go back, some might say I am a.........you know.
