"Researchers find a new slow type of earthquake..."

[NorwoodIV]

I for one find the use of "slow" as very offensive. Not the least bit polically correct! What not just our right label this type of earthquake as retarded.

Let's try "frequency challenged," or "vibration limited."

How would you feel being labeled slow.

I doubt this new type of earthquake gives a “rip” . . . or would find “fault” in anyone calling it slow.

The same probably goes for most retards . . . I also doubt they have the mental acuity to care if someone calls them birdbrain, defective, dim-witt, dopey, dull, dumbbell, dumbo, dumdum, dummy, half-witt, imbecile, lamebrain, mentally defective, moronic, numbskull, pinhead, retard, simple, simple-minded, slow, slow-witted, stupid, subnormal, tard, touched, or underachieving.

On the other hand, it probably irks the “politically correct” crowd . . . which is fine with me. :P

You're right, it hasn't bothered the president yet!

Interesting viewpoint. Even if true, which I doubt, why would anyone, as you did? Why did you?

Because he's like his heroes, Ann Coulter, who pisses on widows of victims of 9/11; Rush, who kicks disabled people; and now George Will, who spits on parents of kids serving in Iraq. And they wonder why they were trounced in the most recent election.

[Cheap!]

It's coming! The slow quake is coming! Every walk away!….when you get a chance!

Deliberately insult them by calling them . . . . ?

Because, as you aptly demonstrated, it upsets the “politically correct” crowd.

If any of you PriusChatters or earthquakes fall under the “tard” moniker AND were offended by my statement, just say so and I will apologize.

If I understand you correctly, then, you would deliberately insult Jane, someone with a disability you've never met who has done you no harm, just to deliberately upset Joe, someone else you've never met who has done you no harm.

Well, it's certainly efficient, I'll grant you that, striking two harmless birds with the same stone.

You keep throwing, too:

Why not just be mature and apologize up front, without compounding the insult?

Why say things you'd likely have to apologize for in the first place?

I'm baffled why anyone would want to be that calculatedly disagreeable. That's quite a disability in itself, if such compulsion can't be overcome.

I would hardly consider the “politically correct” crowd harmless.

It's the “politically correct” crowd, for example, that wishes to mainline “tard” kids into regular school classrooms . . . I guess hoping it will somehow make the “tards” learn more – when in reality, it only holds back the non-tard kids. So then they lower the standards so tard-Jane can advance with her class. This system is not good for anyone, except, maybe, to give the “politically correct” crowd a warm fuzzy feeling that they are doing something good. NOT!!!! It's genetics, stupid!

I use to work in a building where I had a view from my office out onto a public park. Every Tuesday, a busload of “tard” kids would have an outing and run around the park for an hour or so. Co-workers and I mused whether the “tard” kids actually had a better life than us “normal” people. They were always happy (didn't know better), they were taken care of, and they were always happy (not an oversight repeat). They were happy in their world, and yet “we” weren't always happy in ours.
Would “we” too be happier living in a smaller mental pond?

You are the one being disagreeable. I'm just stating fact. You are the one trying to speak for others, yet somehow say that it is ME who is wrong without proof that I have offended any "tards" or earthquakes. Let them speak for themselves!

This should be a good bipolar disorder test for you . . . I would love to see how you react – I'm guessing you will laugh at the Bush-bash and cry and get angry at the rest.

[“Dee, dee, dee doesn't mean mentally retarded, it means stupid . . . If you are a Dee, please don't marry a Dee. It's genetics don't you see – Your kids will be Dee, dee, dee.”] At what point does stupid become “mentally retarded”? I wonder if Carlos was confronted by the “politically correct” crowd regarding Dee, dee, dee.

Because I am not a “politically correct” type. I don't go around making excuses and trying to put happy faces on everything nature and genetics made "wrong." And I certainly don't apologize when it's not needed. My offer to apologize if/where needed still stands. No takers as of yet. But now I will have to wonder . . . if one does come along . . . are they actually just Dee, dee, dee?
Where is the dividing line?

Judging by your posts in this thread, if your mental pond was any smaller, it would be a puddle. A very, very small puddle.

But please, do keep it up. It will remind everyone of Conservative meanness, and The Good Guys will easily walk away with the 2008 election like we did this year.
