Or better yet, how to be less of a PC Poephol in 2016.
Exactly. That's why I avoid soft PC language like mental illness or "slow people". I got for retard.

Ok, in a rare event, I'll call its time to go back to the topic![]()
The same Jimmy Manyi who said there was an overconcentration of coloureds in the Cape. So they also did the cadre deployment in a way. Now he is in the same boat. I think he got irrelevant since then, haven't heard much from him now hes spewing his drivel pre-election.

That's why I said it clearly needs a update and with all the very "special" (see creative) experts here surely one of them is a likely candidate to propagate this message so we can all understand once and for all. Wiki, the medical community and the rest of world needs to know this stuff.Dictionary definitions of words no longer valid and we must stick to what wikipedia says?

All goodHehe, sorry, early saturday morning... I interpreted that all backwards(and reading what I wrote I have no idea what I was trying to say, but that wasn't it), ignore me![]()

seems like its been done already.
"The word retard was widely accepted in the late-1900s to refer to people with mental disabilities; however it is now more commonly used as an insult. The word has gained notoriety for causing a growing number of mentally disabled people to feel unfairly stereotyped"
Each to there own then I guess this is getting tedious. The thing for me is that my father has a brain injury from a accident and I have seen this happen to him. I guess I am just being sensitive and will go cry about it somewhere else.
He is still very functional in many way's and loves the Internet (wouldn't be able to do forums) despite the fact that he genuinely thinks his windows 10 updates are actually stalking him (my poor husband's nerves, lol). Many google searches pull up forums like this, so ja. It's a fart into the wind but INMO you guy's are better than that.Really sorry to hear about your father, that is terrible
And yes, it is something that is close to home for you and you have every right to be offended if someone refers to your father in such a manner. Getting offended on behalf of an entire group of people when its not even directed at them in any way shape or form is just a bit stupid.

Life has a interesting way of showing teaching us lessons and when we are to stubborn to learn it just comes up over and over again, well that is my experience anyway. Maybe one day you will see things differently.See, that is where we disagree.
I won't tailor my responses because I MIGHT offend some random person on the internet. If someone gets offended by what I say and its not directed at them, well sorry my heart bleeds lumpy custard, HTFU.

That would make a excellent thread: How to insult someone with out being a ********!
