Easy with the "Tard" and "Retard" coments - GoFuckYourself.com

DearAbby · 02-18-2003, 06:31 PM

This isn't easy for me to say, just wanted to chime in and say I've been a member here for a long time, but forgot my password and emailed Lensman several times then created another account.

I don't post much. But I'd like to request people ease up on the "Retard" "Tard" etc. comments, my daughter is 4 years old and she's mentally challenged, and it bothers me to see this kind of attitude here, even knowing that it's GFY.

BTW, the pictrues of retarded kids is very mean, IMHO.

It would be appreciated.

psyko514 · 02-18-2003, 06:33 PM

As much as I agree with you, you've just opened yourself up and people are going to attack you. I suggest you either ignore this thread or erase your post.

I sincerely agree with you..but on a side note.

Nobody wrote to your column asking your opinion.

just teasing but couldn't resist considering your handle.

Sly_RJ · 02-18-2003, 06:39 PM

Calling mentally challenged people retards is like calling black people ******s.

But I don't think anyone will ever realize that, nor will they care. Just ignore it and move on.

CDSmith · 02-18-2003, 06:40 PM

#1 I don't see mentally challenged children and or adults as retarded, they are just that mentally challenged.

I do see wm's like spacedog as retarded tho'. Someone with avg intelligence, maybe even more who can't seem to figure out why if he continues to put his finger in the light socket he'll continue to get shocked.

#2 I can't see any mother or father who has a "mentally challenged" child refer to other mentally challenged children as "retarded kids."

nocostporn · 02-18-2003, 06:45 PM

ok now that I said my joke... It depends in what context retard or honkey or ugly fuck are used,it's not like we're ringing your doorbell attacking your kid... don't take it so serious,she's going to face A LOT in her life and the worst thing she can do is shy away from it and tell people to stop...

DearAbby · 02-18-2003, 06:45 PM

You guys dont know what it's like... to have a child with disabilities. It really hurts when you use those words. Im just asking nicely.

Retarded is what "mentally challenged" used to be, before political correctness ass-raped the english language.

You did...so sorry if I don't buy your brand of shit you're dishing out.

If you have a mentally challenged daughter and don't like the word retard then don't dish it out.

Very interesting that you have never voiced an opinion when fat people, black people, female people, gay people, and all sorts of other people have been maligned on GFY. I guess it's only when it hits close to home that it matters enough to speak up about it.

As far as I know there are no actual mentally retarded people posting here (LUC isn't retarded, just misunderstood) : )

I'm not even sure why "retarded" is such an issue. All "retardation" means is "slowed down." To me, "mentally challenged" is the ridiculous term. When will people learn it's the INTENT behind the word which is really offensive, not the term itself. (Take the current usage of the word "nigga" for example.)

Seems like you're missing the point Einstein... There's no riddle.

There is nothing wrong with describing a picture of a retarded kid as a "picture of a retarded kid". That is what the words mean. Retarded isn't an insult (although some people use it that way). Why shouldn't someone who has a retarded child use the word 'retarded'? Why does the use of that word make you doubt DearAbby has a retarded child? Do you doubt that a black person who uses the word "******" isn't really black?

I may be incorrect here, but I don't think DearAbby was objecting to the use of the word "retarded". I think he was only objecting to the incorrect use of it as a insult towards a stupid person.

When people call each other retard it's to put them down. Just like when you call someone ******.

I don't care either way, just pointing it out.

galleryseek · 02-18-2003, 07:03 PM

heh... as much as you'd like everyone to stop using those terms, it won't happen. and reading those words is probably hard, but as a parent you need to be strong and learn to understand the context that is behind most of those remarks. usually i'll call people gay or queer, but i'm not referring to their sexuality. when people call someone a retard, in most cases they mean the person said something stupid or acted annoying n' what not. hardly do people sincerely believe a person is mentally handicapped when they throw that slang around.

so with that said, the only thing that should matter to you is that you know your kid and the people who use those terms don't. if you can practice understanding that concept, then reading / hearing those remarks won't bother you much at all.

JeremySF · 02-18-2003, 07:05 PM

I definitely empathize with you but I would say take in context. People use words loosely around here and don't mean much by it.....asking them to stop using "retard" or "tard" is like asking them to stop looking at porn. It's not going to happen.

You're better off just ignoring it, recognizing that people don't really mean anything malicious by it.

Well I'll just add you to my retarded wm list.

The word retarded regardless of it being pc'd down to "mentally challenged," has become synonymous with it's use in a derogatory manner, so I doubt very seriously some loving mother would come on the GoFuckYourself.Com board and ask people to stop posting pics of "retarded" kids because her child is "mentally challenged," and it offends her...do you not see the contradiction.

I think it's like homosexuals calling each other fags.

They have taken the word and now have power over it and can control it...that's my take on it.

While ****** is a derogatroy word or has been, it can take on many meanings much like the word dude...that one word can be used to imply so many things.

However I don't see the people such a derogatory term as retard or tard affects sitting around with each other saying..."hey here comes my main tard."

"me and my tard were scoping some honies the other day."

You're chatting with one of the most politically incorrect individuals you'll ever meet.

My argument here is not in defense of these kids, but showing the contradiction in this idiots post.

CDSmith · 02-18-2003, 08:00 PM

We could really go way overboard with the political correctness here.

Comment: "Are you deaf? I SAID....."

Polititical correct advocates: "all people with hearing disorders should protest this type of comment."

Comment: "Hey, nice one dummy"

Polititical correct advocates: "Crash test dummies and store manequins have rights too!"

Comment: "You've got the IQ of an amoeba"

Polititical correct advocates: "This infringes on animal rights. Stop it immediately."

Comment:

You see where this could lead, no? Really, if someone says something that someone else thinks is completely idiotic, well...... people are going to use terms like "retarded" weather others object or not. It's saying something about the person who is the target of the insult, and often times it is saying something about the person using the insult too. But it will happen. Sorry, but it will.
