Kinda hope you become that way if thats how you feel :tup:
OHHHHH!H!!H!H the RRRR WOORRD. theres this one teacher at my school and if you say retarded she will flip out. idk.
I JUST PUT IN SOME NOSSSSSSSSS
NOW I HAVE TO R-WORD MY TIMING
How fucking retarded are you?
Lol. shutup nik
i guarantee you the person who got so “offended” by this and started this whole campain isn’t even retarded themselves. which basically would be making a big deal out of nothing imho, so yes, i really believe its a waste of time.
and i’m not sitting around doing nothing, i just went back to school full time this past semester thank you very much
I guarantee a lot of people who advocate anti-racist action aren’t minorities.
Are they wasting their time?
And going to school is an attempt to better yourself.
Pushing a campaign like this is an attempt to better the “world”
(That’s how they see it anyway)
that you cant compare.
are people in this organization fighting for this retarded? no.
are people fighting for anti-racial things in the NAACP black? yes
I’m not defending the campaign. I think it’s trivial.
I’m just defending the idea that people pushing these trivial things are doing SOMETHING.
A lot of us, myself included, do NOTHING.
I appreciate their effort, whether or not I appreciate their cause.
Well obviously
but this is like Sea Kittens. lol
How do you know that?
You might see someone like Stephen Hawking roll by in his wheelchair and think to yourself “fucking retard”, but in reality, he’s smarter than anyone else on this board.
Physical retardation does not preclude someone from supporting a cause, nor does mental retardation.
Also, a lot of you guys seem to be under the assumption that someone who is mental retarded is incapable of understanding the word, or even having feelings.
I personally hate the word and it was one of the words to never use growing up.
:tif:
I’m not in the mood to get into it, and Newman is pretty much taking care of this thread so whatever.
I use the word all the time.
I wish i didn’t
LOL idk, if i saw someone rolling around with a computer attached to their wheelchair i wouldnt call the a retard, nor do i say to myself if i see a slow person “fuckin retard” or if i see a black person “fuckin nnnnnn”
I’ve talked with retarded kids before, and they live as if nothing is wrong. obviously they get special treatment, but they dont think it’s special, because it is an everyday thing
When a black person gets called a name, they are told what it means, (unless they are like 5), when a retarded person hears the word “retard” they are not explained that “oh hunny, someone just called you slow, dumb, incapable, etc etc”
Again i don;t have a problem with them fighting, but the whole idea of R-Word is just; for lack of a better term, Retarded.
You clearly have no grasp of the level of understanding of “retards”
see in my mind, why is it that the “mentally challenged” are automatically linked (by the people starting this campain) to the word retard. when i use the word retard, i’m not taking a stab at one of those people. to me, its just another word for “stupid” or “silly” or “pointless”. by making such a huge fuss about this, they are just making it worse really lol
know what i’m trying to say? i don’t know if that came out exactly right
When i say nigger I don’t mean black people, in my mind it’s just someone stupid.
lol
You just argued for the other side.
Edit- I’m out of this thread. I don’t feel like debating today. People won’t get it unless they have been affected by people with mental issues.
sigh… whatever, i’m done. i don’t see a problem with the word. you also just proved my point by linking it to a person… when i say retarded, i use it to describe someTHING not someONE
