why does the board frown on using "retarded" as an insult but not "gay" or &quot

It doesn't. It frowns on blatantly making fun of retarded people. There's a difference.

Lately it frowns upon everything. Everything is so PC nowadays that, regardless of the subject, somebody is going to get their feelings hurt.

 

[mattcanning99]

it's really a shame, not just because it's ignorant, but also there are so many better sounding profanities out there.

"asshole" has a much better ring

yeah, they say it's just words on a screen, and to many people it is, myself included, but i've heard of suicides caused by emotional trauma over the net, so it can hurt.

I'm the board now???

Seriously though... she spells a word incorrectly that is seriously insulting to many people around the world.

Gay people can defend themselves. See my point? They can get organizations together to fight for their rights. Mentally challenged people have to defend on the good souls of people that were born healthy.

Spelled correctly or not, I don't feel it should be used... but again, had she spelled it correctly... I would have just let it slide.

I agree. The censored posts/threads get a lot of attention, even though they represent the tiniest fraction of the total number of posts on this board. Then, invariably, the cry babies start screaming censorship and hypocrisy. They find the slightest inconsistency in how one thread gets locked over another, and piss and moan like my sweet sick old grandmother. It happens all the time.
