I understand that words are not the enemy.
It’s the attitude she objects to, and I can appreciate her feelings, but it’s not like he was refering to a bunch of hadicapped people...er, wait, I meant ‘special people’...no, that’s not acceptable anymore, either. Differently abled? I give up.
If I’m not allowed to use words then I can’t convey my thoughts. If you can’t express your thoughts you might as well not have any.
The word police are blind! Er...seeing impaired. Occularly antithetical?
It means "SOME ONE WHO WINS" now. Whatever it used to mean is history.
Now, for "tard" ~ and "retard" and "retarded".
Sure there are some roots in common in those words but it's like the old "niggardly", "Nygard" and "N-word" trichotomy. You only lose control of those words by misusing them!
Still, the issue was the pejorative expression uttered by that old merchant of smarm, Rahm Emanuel. "Tard", "retard" and "retarded" were not in play, weren't at issue, and if any bunch of pukes or their running dog lackeys think they can take them away from me, I'll only get worse. Ya hear that ya pukes and Leftwingtards?
