Knock yourself out

... please.

Point being, if we started calling people intellectually disabled as an insult, in a couple of decades that will have been banned from the acceptable norm of speech as well, if this terrible social experiment gone awry keeps destroying freedoms, of course.

Just proving my point:

I shouldn't be mad nobody got my point the first time. You're intellectually disabled, it's not your faults.

I wonder how it hurts you to consider the feelings of another human ... I wonder why you consider linguistic purity more important than human emotions.

Sorry, but no.

I can sense that this response came from a place of emotion, so deeply rooted in the absence of logic.

Lol. You seriously crack me up. I don't think you understand how language works. You're a pickled onion, it's not your fault.

Where do I even begin. I am concerned with human wellbeing, and pandering to idiocy is not on my checklist for doing my part in building a better world.


EP is being an asshole again, bla bla bla, let me tell him off.

'Retard' is a slur these days, that's why it's not used. If there comes a time when 'intellectually disabled' is considered insulting, then some other term will be used in its place.
Hopefully, by the grace of the Aesir, civilisation will survive this most gruelling of trials.

I'm not trying to be mean, but please tell me what did you do in the first paragraph besides repeating exactly what I said and so what is the point of this post?

Upon seeing the kudos Iroscato got, EP was found lying still, his eyes widened, his hand stapled to his face covering an expression of horror and disbelief.

Now I really want pickled onion to become commonly considered a slur. A swear word even. Children will be given detention for calling each other a pickled onion one day, mark my words.

Can I order one intellectually disabled pickley penguin with my mac and cheese please! Yes! To go! No, I don't want to eat in. Yes I already just said what are you a fucking excited penguin or something? Don't be dense!
