Well than for my disrespect of retarded people I suppose that makes me retarded and horrible myself. But considering I have heard the likes of George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Sam Kinnison, and Ricky Gervais make off color and inappropriate comments about challenged people (although I dare say they did not mean it literally either) at least I am in decent company. I have said all I can about the retarded comments, if it repulses you I am sorry----if it gave you a guilty little laugh I am glad----because life is freakin sad and to be able to laugh at something and still not make fun of it is a trait not everyone has.

I just find it different if you are calling someone who is actually not mentally disabled a tard because they are just stupid, but when you are actually talking about an infant with Down's Syndrome because you don't agree with his parents political views, or for any reason, it is a cruel attack.

Your probably right and my intense anger with the republicans at the time spawned that attack and it was inappropriate and only meant to offend and be hurtful-----I am not disagreeing here or saying I wasnt wrong. Just putting it out for discussion.
Thank You Squirrel , and I appreciate you seeing past the crassness at the bit of humor and "touching a nerve" I was trying to do for emotion and provocation. Its a shame (and I am sayingthis as a whole, not about ANYONE here or anyone specifically) that everything is taken so personally and people cant get a laugh about touchy subjects to make things a little easier to swallow. I just think of all the times Richard Pryor made MS jokes...and yes he had it, which makes it a little different----but he did it to engage a discussion and try to take just a little misery out of it to get a laugh. Not saying mine was as tasteful or the same, just saying we as a people have sure lessened out ability to "lighten up" it seems.
Just thought of a few things this week that I question, or find a bit odd----figuring someone here may be able to assist.1--Why is it that when someone farts it usually smells like my Aunt Mary’s @ss, but your own flatulence is rarely that bad?2--Why is it that fat broads ALWAYS have to possess at least one article of clothing with Winnie the Pooh or one of his cohorts upon it?3--Why is it a woman can wear a bikini and I am allowed to undress her with my eyes (or at least to gaze upon her casually), but I face sexual harassment charges if I request to view her in her bra and panties?4--Why does it always seem the woman at the bar who you know will take anyone home has an anklet or toe ring on her foot or leg EVERYTIME...what is it about these accessories? Just things I thought over the week and throwing them out there for any possible resolution.
Vulchor, I applaude your decision to vent and disclose your opinion, it may not have been eloquent and might have been rough around the edges but by golly this is still america where persons have the right to express our opinions, Right or wrong. It is your right.
I must admit I found it odd no one else either agrees with or has a reason (other than Kuzi) as to why the Winnie the Pooh on fat women and why the anklets on $lutty ones. This is something I have pondered for probably 10yrs now....and would write my graduate thesis on if my professor would let me.
I could see a good reason for the see through bikini but everytime I go to the store or am around an apartment I can see this not working.... Some people should be fined for wearing something other than a moomoo.
J/K to teh guy getting married, I thought it was a funny post. But I firgured I would take a minute off from my a-hole attitude and comments on here just to share with everyone-----That I am again a proud new father (2nd for me---and last I must say, as my wife is 10yrs older than me and 4 total is enough for her, lol). A new baby girl named Paige, born by C-Section on Friday night----6 and a half pounds. Just wanted to shout it to the world....or at least my cigar buddies on here. Hope everyone is having a good week.
