apparently it's her mission in life to stop people from using the word retard or retarded. I'm sorry, but how is your saying that you are retarded supposed to offend ANYONE?
I really wanted to post a macro saying "YOU'RE RETARDED" but I am not that mean/bitchy/...retarded myself. You know, of course, it's awful if someone said it to her daughter, but a) "retarded" is a legitimate medical term (I'm not sure if she knows this), and b) it was not directed towards anyone other than yourself and how is that supposed to offend ANYONE?
it seems like she has a knee jerk reaction to the word, no matter the context. There is a total difference between being offensive and just using the word.
omg Simon (I TOTALLY JUST TYPED SIWON)
also, I did not know you had a physical disability. I was going to say "HEY I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE A CRIPPLE LOLOLOL" but I was afraid internet humor doesn't always fly.
she didnt even read it (probably a good thing) so i dont know what's got her panties all in a bunch. don't flip out on me, i don't know your kid. also, i dont know why people mind the word "panties". idgi.
lolol bias.
PFFT that would have been hilarious (<-- not sarcastic). Please, I am not sensitive about this at ALL. It's really not a big deal and I barely remember it's there anymore. I never even remember if I tell people unless it randomly comes up and someone goes YOU NEVER TOLD ME THAT >8O and I'm like oh, lol. oops. I'll probably do an lj post on it in the morning because the cats out of the bag now and I'm sure ill be getting more than one "i didnt know that"'s haha
except i totally like to fuck with people if they make a joke and then I go : ( "thats not funny..." and watch them get really awkward.
I love mindfucking with people. this isn't even in the same league, but I have a fucked up finger on my right hand, it still works and stuff, it just looks gross, since I broke it when I was really little and the bone came out of the skin. I never mention it since it's just part of me, but sometimes I do, or people notice, and I'm like LOOK LOOK! and they're like EW GROSS!
i know, "underwear" sounds so dowdy. and yet ive read a billion articles on how women hate the word. ...welp, i dont :/
HAHA is FUN to fuck with people, right?? oh, its the best. also, if someone who doesnt know that im pretty much the whitest person on earth (half white half black) and probably more asian than anything, if they crack a black joke, omg, the awkward is ON. i love it.
Sorry for the ninja!comment.moonfoot_gamgeeDecember 18 2009, 07:21:37 UTC
It's different than using the word "gay" derogatorily, IMO, because gay people can understand what's being said and it does hurt. But then, those who care for retarded people can understand "retarded," too, I suppose. Even though it was a bit irrational, I hate to be too terribly pissed at her, because it did hurt her feelings, not matter if it doesn't hurt other's feelings. Does that make any sense? I mean, just because one person isn't hurt, doesn't mean the other person's hurt feelings are totally invalid. But I do think it was stupid of her to just randomly comment on the journal of someone she doesn't know. If she's offended by it she should AT LEAST politely address the issue or only inform those who say it around her IRL. So basically, I mostly agree with you, but I'm stupidly indecisive. Heh.
