The Benefit: * I get to beat up on the retarded and get away with it * I get to beat up on the retarded and feel good about it, as the retarded are by choice being retarded.
Could you please think of a different phrase to express this? I grit my teeth and shudder every time yet another person throws around the word "retarded".

I have bitten my tongue several times in the past, but I am sick to death of this particular piece of verbal pollution that some of you just cannot seem to resist. If you must engage in such antics, at least go do it on the telestial forum.

I think we all tend to see the world through our own experiences and therefore develop a biased view of the world. I think dialogueing is what makes us understand the world in a better way, by seeing the the other side of the coin. On the downside, I think this board takes a lot of time and sometimes creates more biases and anger.

Some truths are self evident.
