It’s like Trump said, this new administration is poised to make great things happen. They are. They’re dismantling centralized banking, waking people up. The only thing they’ve really done which is not easily corrected would be our southern border. The fentanyl alone is dangerous not to mention all the women and children exploited by the cartel shit sticks.
My son was born 4 months early. Spent the first five months of his life in NICU. In his second week of life he had less than a 17 percent chance of survival. It was like 8 percent chance of survival without serious disability. He survived and is a fully functional child. I learned to embrace the suck, laugh a shit ton along the way, count your blessings and DIG DEEP to find the positivity in the WORST situations.
Don’t tell me this sucks worse than being informed that your first child isn’t going to make it. It was the best suck I’ve ever experienced. If we can all find the positive in our situation, we will be victorious.
“...bad times create strong men.”
These are the bad times. We are the strong!!!!
"Retard" has an actual derogatory connotation. And until we appropriate that term to no longer be that way, "retard" will continue to be perceived as an insult.
A "retard", is someone who is clearly capable or thinking critically, yet is not doing so in a particular situation and is a aspousing asinine ideas.
Just like in this situation. You are being a bit of a retard.
To clarify, I often call people "retarded", but only if they are of normal functioning ability.
It's not fair to call an actual mongoloid a retard. They wouldn't even understand you were being mean.
Have you ever heard of ARC?
It's the association of retarded citizens. They call themselves retarded, because they literally are. Calling them special needs or anything else won't change reality. And yes, that word can be used in a negative, offensive way, but it doesn't have to be.
Anyway, back in the old days, my mother, may she rest in peace, would just say people were "slow."
I like that approach.
Well then it appears they are working to appropriate that term. And good on them. I just wouldn't call an actual disabled person a retard, especially if they are trying their best to get along in society.
Look, every liberal gets that name. Someone who is less capable doesn't need it.
