restraining order

[miker]

has anyone on this board ever had to deal with the mentally retarded?

it would be like me calling someone a fuckin siamese twin ...

or a fuckin teenage pregancy ...

or a fuckin muslem ...

or a fuckin christian ...

or a fuckin disabled person ...

or a fuckin homosexual ...

you probably get the idea by now. I don't qualify as a retard (honestly) but I know people who are going through this life with psycological disablility, or rather, disadvantage simply because they are not 'normal'

I don't care particularly what names I am called, as long as they apply and are justified and are not used flippantly.

I think fuckwit suits better.

and I probably am old, but I seek no sympathy -- I just can't be doing with opening scars, it's too distracting for my life in general.

Jacker, are you dense? He's saying he's worked with the handicapped before and he objects to people using 'retard' as an insult. And here's Despin saying stop being a pussy about it.

He's not being a pussy. He's not saying "I don't like being called names." He just said calling someone a retard is insensitive to the mentally disabled. Which, I for one fucking agree, but maybe I'm the only one who gets it because I do work with handicapped kids.

Christ. He even said "Just call me a fuckwit."

I have a disabled aunt. I now disabled people exist in this world. Do you think I would call a disabled person or a person who I KNEW worked with disabled people that figure of speech?

Why he didn't say anything before now is beyond me.
