In a bad mood? come here and rant till you feel better

[Bastemhet]

I told someone recently that I would appreciate if he would not use the word retarded as it is offensive to others when he made this post:

Quote:

Blah! How do I forget to grab extra led for my pencil?! I feel like such a retard...

and I provided him with the link to the ableist word profile on it. His response was:

Quote:

.................................................................................................................................................... wow.

sad

Though I'm guessing I might be expecting too much. I mean he did imply that there was something fundamentally wrong with a little boy he saw playing with a barbie doll and actually liking it, because it was "a toy for girls." rolleyes

I also dislike the fact that objective observations about behavior cannot be applied without offense too.

That would largely depend on what those objective observations are and whether they are, in and of themselves, tainted with a given ism (and therefore not as objective as the individual thinks).

The problem then comes down to if there is an accuracy issue, or if there is a flawed projection onto an accurate term.

I hate you.
I don't want anything to do with you.
I don't care about the money.
I care about her. If you did too, you would understand why I can't stand you.

*Hugs* Sorry to hear things aren't going any better with that.

I visited my Nana the other day. I didn't recognize her when I first saw her.

I've lost people before. People I have loved dearly. But I can't picture a world without her- that's how much a part of my life she is.

I can't fathom a world where she isn't there to pick me up after I've scraped my knee. And I know life changes. And I know this is part of those changes, and I know it means a point of transformation for me and that life will go on. But none of that really helps.

She's the only source of truly unconditional love I have ever known in my life.

She's the person who taught me to be a good person.

Guess who else got an AWESOME profile comment? So how do you report those?

What was it? If you don't mind me asking.

Aw, I wish I was special enough to warrant an angry, ill-concieved comment.

I guess telling her that she was basically an addict and a monster wasn't enough.

I sent too2sweet a PM.

She isn't very clever about it is she?
