Stop using retard as an insult

Are you guys still in high school or something?

This is a topic that doesn't really need to be discussed. It's an unwritten law which most people realize "insults" as such come from delinquent juveniles.

I think something that needs to be mentioned is the fact that there isn't a retarded person alive that is going to get mad at you for calling them a retard. Gay people will get upset if you call them a fag in a derogatory manner (sometimes). Black people will get mad if you call them niggars (if you aren't black). Retards (sic) won't get mad if you call them retarded because most of them can't comprehend what it means.

If you call someone retarded and they get mad, it's because you are wrong.

Defend those who can't defend themselves. I would defend them twice as hard as I would someone with a voice.

but degrading rednecks is ok?

I can see the defenseless disabled kid thing, but you obviously spend lots of time with chinnuts and defend yourself quite alright.

Redneck was an insult that the target took on as a self-label. Gay was a self-label that rednecks skew and throw back on the people they are afraid of. Redneck is of the same class as n*****. Gay. Deaf. Retarded. These are not yours to give out. They are yours to **** up and prove that you hang with losers.

You're the kind of poster I hate. I just wanted you to know that.
Trisomy 21. Improve the level of your ignorance or wallow in the level you have achieved, I care not.

Why cause I didn't google retards before I replied to your sad topic. Obscure references of chromosomes make you intelligent now? You are a retard. Cram your politically correct bullshit up your ass. No one cares, it's just an expression.
 
Personally, I'd be more insulted by "Wheelbarrow". I mean who the fuck plays as that? Seriously?

When you're ignorant, everything is obscure.

So...Elitist is a self label that gimps throw back on the people they afraid of?

Go to the Oxford source and you tell me which came first on that one. I understand the elitist and still hate them no matter who called themselves what first.

Rather than restrict word usage to members of a certain class, I'd rather just get rid of them. It's discriminatory to say that just because you're not black, you can't say the word niggar(fucking censorship won't let me spell it right). Hell, that could be the solution for qcdn, just add "retard" into the automatic censorship filter. You'll never change people's language, so if you really care this much, now you won't have to see it.

Ok you're an idiot. Is that better?
You made a correct contraction, and that's all I expect from you. Now if you would mind not being a useless interjecter, go for the HQ post and explain why. But not in my topic, mind you. This is about social slurrers and we have thorougly been over the mob's opinion of Peregrine.

I do thank you for your change of posting behavior, however.
 
I have a tendency to not be offended by what one person says to another. A white guy calling some mexican a wetback in my presence isn't going to make me upset with the white guy. He can call the guy a faggot, retard, asshole, but until he directs an insult at me, that is an issue between those two.

I think the assertion he was making might've been more towards a rose is a rose. Phraseology (sp?) does not designate vulgarity, the intended victim absorbes the slurs and puts the level of offense on it they deem neccessary. In a perfect world where everyone has such high standards and classifications as yourself idiot would be no more acceptable than retard, the classifications and/or designations of one being a lighter infraction than another is illogical.
 
In my world I can call you all a bunch of beggars and simply hope that a few of the brighter burnouts of the group picks up on half the hypocrisy I throw. Please. You can bump the letters per word average up, but I don't require you to sound like an intellectual to talk to me.

You argue against the existence and legitimacy of connotation, yet you blatantly generalize. Seems a bit hypocritical to me, as both using words based on their connotation and generalizing display oodles of ignorance.
 
Was that targeted or simply a ubiquitous disclaimer for the peanut gallery?

Please do be pointed and respond to what's said and not how it's posted, you have an agenda, remember?
