To retard is to slow a process. Its use as a derogatory term can apply to constructs, willful idiots, and those with physiological developmental disorders. In essence, it always addresses a below average progression.
I believe most intelligent people are capable of using it in a non offensive manner. To devote a personal passion toward an item of the lexicon is a bit silly. Are you retarded or something?
+-wow its obvious you are'nt with an answer like that ....that was straight out of the oxford english dictionary that one ..... it always amazes me how a simple remark to something that WAS meant as something offensive can be answered by a member of the cast of the BIG BANG THEORY and made to sound as if it is the right thing to say you must have a team of researchers to write your daily scripts for you so that you can give politically correct answer's to any given subject. WELL DONE SHELDON ..
Yours sincerely
someone who does not own a dictionary
PS ..and i agree most intelligent people would be capable of using the remark in a non offensive way BUT i did not send it to someone who was
Would you prefer window licker as a description for the moronic posts that appear with increasing frequency on this board? :blink:
For me their are many movies,Harry Potter Series,Dark knight and Dark knight Rises
would it be fair to say then that there is a just a chosen few that are allowed to attempt to entertain us with comments that have become acceptable in certain circles of society,,,, the difference here is that i tend to say what i think is right ???? not what i think others want to hear ???? because either they have been a member longer than others or they are just the class clown that is expected to come up with what they think are entertaining phrases that only appeal to people with the same level of reasoning?????????? this has developed from an earlier comment that was made by myself regarding the use of the word RETARD which lets face it was not used in the latter context (But an attempt to make it seem innocent was put forward by way of a third party) I will not go against what i believe in just to make people look more interesting than they really are ....statistics dictate that there will be a large portion of members and guests that WILL have someone in their family that has some form of a disability ???? with me it is my daughter who was born with DOWNS SYNDROME so yes certain terminologies do offend and that was one of them....no matter how you try to butter up the way it was said..........anyway sorry for speaking out of turn about something so dear to my heart....
In my defense I only called him a retard because it made me momentarily feel better and actual physical violence wasn't an option.
Btw I consider myself an extremely tolerant person as I rarely comment on how much Quaterquack's face offends me.
^^ Emotional retard.

If you are going to be so easily offended by comments on an internet forum then you may not want to be an active member of this one too much longer, we might make you cry and that would be sad.....
As for the second part of the speech and the daughter with DOWNS SYNDROME, another poster in this very thread has a child who is also afflicted with Trisomy 21, while we have others here with children with other needs including Autism. They all manage to carry on here without the need to become offended, and I myself have a condition which has caused me to be called a retard and treated differently my entire life. What offends me is how lazy and dull witted many people are becoming in their almost childlike posts, some of which you actually have to read several times before you can decipher the meaning, if there is actually a meaning at all.
you seem to be melodramatic in other ways and as far as child like posts there is nothing wrong in being a little sympathetic to how people might feel when they hear certain words that could hit a nerve ????? i mean lets face it its obvious that my comments have hit a lot of nerves today and i have not said anything that would offend..anyway think its better to agree to disagree and leave it (so long farewell Auf Wiedersehen goodbye. )sound of music another good film ha ha ha ha ha
I've actually been looking for some breeding stock for my son. At this point I'm willing to consider any options as long as she doesn't have that over-sized tongue thing. That really creeps me out.
And drooling. But I have to assume those sort of go together...
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? :no:
That's an impossible question for me. I have a new fav of all time every year! "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" was one of them.
*Sigh... O.K. I will try and use simple words and sentence structure so there will be no misunderstanding this time, please put up your hand if you do not understand something I am saying. The conversation devolved (spiralled down) after you took offense to Idol calling one of the posters here a retard (that was him being nice btw) so I inquired if you would prefer the term 'window licker' instead. Not content with this you decided to carry it on, and when I talked about childish posts you took it to mean you personally. In that you were mistaken, apart from the execrable use of punctuation you are in the top 10% of infrequent posters and although somewhat emotional, an easy read.
If you take a couple of teaspoons of cement, add it to a tall glass of water, drink it and harden the fuck up we will all probably get on swimmingly. :blink:
I am insulted that you would think I'd understand the reference. I watched an episode on a plane once, but it was after I had sworn off anything of the modern age that still employs laugh tracks, thus it would not serve to entertain me for the rest of eternity.
I have a revolving gaggle of children that are kept in a secure room. They are encouraged to expand their minds when I'm not expanding their orifices, and some of them have tapped into their writing centers. I use this resource at times to lessen my burdens.
Somebody help us escape! We are near a college in
007 movies, especially Skyfall and Casino Royal
Not sure why, but I still love Fifth Element. Can also watch Fight Club over and over.
Back to the future I is mine

I'm still a sucker for old school kung fu movies.
Now that I think about it, ethelmonk is providing a useful service for the kung fu genre. With all of the sweat and testosterone flying around, someone is bound to get a shot-wrecking, raging stiffie. That's when emonk puts his golden throat to work. In seconds, the Kung Fu actor is ready for work, and ethelmonk needs a breath mint. Little sucker saved the day, again...
So, a fruffer then?
Long time. :D
