I agree with you 100%. Here in Canada that word is taboo and I have no respect for anybody that uses that word for any reason. However, in the States it is used far to often and nobody seems to care, the use is freely accepted.

If I was you I would not let it wear you down, you will not change them!

^ agreed. I'm sure all of us have used the term once or more blindly w/out thinking about it.

Matt McKenzie
10-30-2008, 08:57 AM
It's a word we use every now and then, not thinking about it because it does not offend our friends that are used to it as well. But when one of your friends is offended, you think about it, and I would rather not use it now.

Brian, I second that.

I work for NISH (www.nish.org) - we create employment Opportunities for people with severe disabilities.

That word is taboo!

Thanks for bringing this up!

I can remember in the mid-70's when I went to elementary school here in Canada that the R word was commonly used in name calling. Glad to here that people are not more sensitive

No one on here would ever call your daughter a 'retard'. Its an offensive word to someone with an unfortunate handicap.

With that in mind though; freedom of speech is not, nor should it ever be, limited to human subjectivity. A word that is offensive to one person, may be commonplace and benign to another, sort of like the one-way street we play with the "N-word". The concept that the inalienable right to freedom of speech is abridged by the feelings and perceptions of an individual is absurd and unconstitutional, and plays to zealous sympthy and political posturing.

I think the point being that telling someone they can't say something is just as offensive as calling someone a dirty name.Personal integrity and common courtesy are what sets the bounds of what is socially acceptable to say, not law or rules.

you are bang on there winston , all i ask is for the forum to be free of the word ,as i consider that i am being talked too when reading posts, as i would point out if you were infront of me speaking to please refrain from using it,, its just common courtesy

Probably because the term is commonly used here to refer to people who should know better but don't rather than someone who has a legitimate disability.

All the respect in the world for those who don't like it but ask nicely instead of blowing up.

10-30-2008, 02:26 PM
as i say its used often and frequently in the states and in that context i have no problem with it, BUT i would rather not read it on here,
lets just put it into perspective,,
my daughter cannot walk , talk , eat ,, she will never leave home ,, never have kids , hold down a job , whens she is 30 she will still be a baby,she is stared at it the street , made fun out off by other kids , and pitied by others.
each morning i expect to hear the screams of susan when she enters her room , only to be given a another day by god ,

now if you have any kids look them in the face and think what all this would mean to you if you were in my shoes, i dont think you d like the word RETARD either

Definitely not for such PMs. You are a good asset to the forum and a friend to us that have met you.

And about your request...
I hope I have never used that word here or anywhere else that have offended you. But as a friend I tell you I never will.
Respect towards others is one of the best things we can pass on to our children and set as an example to others.

I would have to agree with everything that Navyavi469 said in his post. At first, I wanted to write something exactly like that in my own words. But right now, I would not have been able to articulate it, especially citing the Constitution the way he did...while I am writing this stupid History paper (on the side hehehehe)

I myself will not stop using the word. --- I have never used it to invoke hurt to those that are mentally challenged and I know I would NEVER use that word toward someone like that.

However, BrianM did not start this thread to debate and argue over the exact meaning of the word. Nor did he start this thread to discuss the different connoations this word can mean when used in different context. He wasnt looking to start an arguement over this. (BUT this is the internet and everyone has a voice to say what they want!!!)

He did start this thread for one reason: To ask fellow members that respect him and value him as a friendly forum memeber to refrain from using the word. Therefore, on this forum, considering how it is a personal and sensitive subject to a good memeber, to the best of my knowledge I will stop using the word. Why? Out of respect for someone that is a valued forum memeber and for someone that flew overseas to goto a Hooters to gaze at some Jeeps with us :)

That is a very slipperty slope for the Mods. It's up to Brian to oust those that messaged him. Private messages are like your e-mail. Could you imagine how you would feel if someone opened up your e-mail and took action on something if you didn't want them too? Sure the mods could do it but it sets a very ugly precident.

Brian it's up to you man... I don't know you but this is a great group of people (hell they let me stay here) and if they want you as one of them then so do I. Don't let these people get the best of you, ignore them and move on or toss them in the public light for everyone to see.

I have sent Brian a personal email this morning, and I hope to have a chance to talk to him later, I will let you guys know what I find out. I am hopeful that we can try to get him back, but we may have lost a valued member of this board over some low class nonsense, what a shame.

someone(s) is/ are a douchebag, and they haven't had an as$kicking in too long, they need to be reminded that they are a douche, in a public forum. . . this is the only reason I can think of Joe

I just went back over a post I made and I used that word. I don't know u but I've read some of your post and u seem like a stand up dude. So i went back and removed it. ignorant and insensitive word anyway. Sorry if I was one of the people that u were referring to.

the " gentleman" in question has phoned me and apologised,
i told him last night that unless he did so within 24hrs i would post up his vile PM and let the members of the forum decide where it goes from there, he seemed to forget that although i was in Scotland he wouldnt be untouchable,

its a very sad incident that shows people in there true lights , and i am glad to say ive found out who ARE my friends,

No one on here would ever call your daughter a 'retard'. Its an offensive word to someone with an unfortunate handicap.

With that in mind though; freedom of speech is not, nor should it ever be, limited to human subjectivity. A word that is offensive to one person, may be commonplace and benign to another, sort of like the one-way street we play with the "N-word". The concept that the inalienable right to freedom of speech is abridged by the feelings and perceptions of an individual is absurd and unconstitutional, and plays to zealous sympthy and political posturing.

I think the point being that telling someone they can't say something is just as offensive as calling someone a dirty name.Personal integrity and common courtesy are what sets the bounds of what is socially acceptable to say, not law or rules.


Winston:

I'm just getting around to reading this thread, and your post is as far as I got before I responded. So if this is a repeat of someone else's statement, sorry.

Anyway, occasionally you make such a wise and sage statement, that I am impressed with your intellect (or your ability to Google, cut and paste) Just thought you should know somebody noticed.

And yes, the constitution protects such speech, but only the government's power to regulate it. This constitutional protection does not flow such that commercial interests must allow it. So, if the people who own this website want to censor something, anything, or anybody, like Ace's artwork, they have that right. Sorry Ace!

Finally, I agree also that in civil discourse, certain words, phrases and concepts ought to be taboo. But then again this is the internet, where everything is true and free, and anyone can log on and say anything they want, under the cloak of anonimity.

Brian, out of respect for you and your daughter, I will absolutely refrain from using such a noxious word, not only here but in my non-internet world, too.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Bob
