I HATE when people call stuff retarded. They even claim that an INANIMATE OBJECT is retarded. I'm sure that test you just took had a mental illness. If you were to call something retarded in front of a learning disabled person, they would be deeply offended. Trust me, I would know. So stop being ignorant idiots and never call something (that really isn't) gay or retarded again! P.S. Remember, I'm not saying everyone does this, but those who do should be ashamed!
and its just as bad when they substituute gay for retarded it just goes to show the mental capacity of the people who use such ignorant terms
some people just are incapable of excercising their brain and coming up with a good insult, so they fall to things that are basic people are stupid
LOL yea I know what you mean b/c I grew up in a town where this was the official language and all I ever heard. And the very odd time I find these words slipping out of my gd mouth while my face turns red remembering my roots. peace Gentle
smartass.... really though, most people are stupid (I.E. they choose not to have knowledge, they choose to act like asses {noob v. newb for gamers in the crows}) ignorant people either lack the capacity or the access to the knowledge ignorance isn't a sin stupidity is
no, stupidity is the is the judgement given by someone regarding anothers actions (or inactions).. I wanna know where techie draws such a judgement....as he seems willing to label people.
Same here.... I hate that fucking PC shit... Its so lame. The whole retarded thing I think has alot to do with where you are from and when you grew up. The word retarded is pretty well used where I am from and its never used as an association with a mentaly challenged person.
I don't like when people use "retarded" or "gay" as adjectives. My sister is mentally retarded, and it hits close to home when people use the word. Two of my good friends are homosexual, and I don't like how "gay" is used to mean "stupid", because they're definitely not stupid.
It's not that i have a problem when people use those words, it's when they use them constantly, like they can't think up anything better. Repetition annoys me more then political incorrectness
PC-ness is so old...blah...it's just a word. In fact, I read the back of a paint can once and it said: "drying may be retarded"...I'm not kidding... So? Should we write to the paint company and tell them that they are being "soooooooooo un-PC"? Personally, I use it very rarely...but I do use it. And I used to say things were "gay", but then I found out a good friend of mine was homosexual and I couldn't bring myself to use the term anymore. Bottom line...they are just words...we can choose them...or not choose them. *shrugs* It's not that big of a deal...I've heard worse...The *n*-word is one of them...I've heard LOTS of people use that term...personally, I couldn't use it...
I THINK PEOPLE WHO use. 'gay'... and think that clever, have achildlike sexuality people who say retarded are unimaginative. ~~~~~~~~~ but its all in there somewhere...imagine having a really bad upbringing with really ignorant parnets..you'd have a big job trying to figure out who you really were afterwards... dont regurrgatate., think for yourself... if i followed my uprbringing, id be racist, a bitch, a molester, and very very very unkind. ive had to deal with judgments like everyone else from where i come from, but i totally know that not who i am... and ive never said. thats gay..my best friend is african and i dont molest people.
"drying may be retarded" That means drying may be slowed down. You don't even know all the defintions of retarded.
I hate being forced into political correctness, so to all I say "motherfuckers, stop stifling my free expression and stunting my vocabulary" and have a listen to george carlin's take on euphemisms, it's not far off dead-on
