I should know better??? Did I call my kid retarded? My God you are so jello-brained. The cartoon was not only retarded, it was moronic. Uh oh, are you offended even more??? Great to live in a country where you can be.
People speaking their mind without a pc filter pisses you off?
btw, guessed you missed the hypocrisy of your own words . . . . "The point of political correctness is to be polite, and not offend the feelings of others." says the boy who wants to "This is a concept I would like to shove up your ass with a hot poker."
You're assumnig he meant to be offensive. Perhaps to him that is simply an alternative form of persuasion, one to be encouraged and accepted as no better or worse than any other, just...different.
Try to be more tolerant.
An exec known as a friend to our family made the remark one day about my dad. "You know you have a better education than he did." I couldn't believe it, my dad graduated from the University of Illinois with a better GPA than I did, and is successful by any standard you would like to use. The exec explained to me that the atmosphere on campus six years ago when I went to school was more evolved than when my dad had gone to school. So, perhaps that explains the attitude of Zoom-boing.
I did learn that words can be impolite or hurt others, such as "retard." It demeans an individual who is disabled. And, repeating it just perpetuates a hurtful word in our vocabulary. In many cases people are failing contemporary litmus tests without even knowing it by repeating words like "retard." When it comes down to it, they will probably be labeled racist, and not even understand why. Racists are written off by most educated people as dinosaurs. Electorially, they are less and less significant.
When Zoom-boing acknowledges that developmental disabilities come close to his life, and he still uses the word "retard," he is advertising his ignorance. He needs to understand the old cliche that if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. This explains my attitude to tea baggers and many conservative Republicans.
Just keep them out of the way, so we can build America's future. We voted them out, and they will stay out because their political influence decreases every day as our population shifts to a new demographic.
Hey Stained Bastard, you're a retard.
You're also an idiot.
You're also a thin skinned asshat.
Not PC? So fucking what?
