Political Correctness

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

The stigma that surrounds the word.

Because most people don't call someone who is actually mentally retarded that. They usually call a friend who forgets the sauces for chicken nuggets retarded or some other instance of dumbness.

It is an ugly word, and there isn't any need for it.

its rude dummy

R. Tard, please let's be politically correct in here.

I have an autistic brother and I still call people retarded

Not mentally disabled folks though just normal folks doing dumb shyte

Bc it equates intellectual disability with being dumb or stupid. When you call someone the r word, you are saying that they are as stupid as someone who is mentally handicapped and that isn't right at all.

I still use the word occasionally. Its similar to calling someone a fakkit. I wouldn't call an actual gay person a fakkit, but if someone cuts me off on the highway, then he's a fakkit of the highest degree

What happened to your "hiatus"?

I never specified when I was taking it so your question is null and void.
But to answer your question, tomorrow at midnight since it will be a new week.
