Absolutely nothing wrong with being retarded. Its not a choice, just like being gay isnt a choice or gender disphoria isnt a choice. Racism is a choice and its holding back society therefore it is retarded.
I can see where you're both coming from.
My counterpoint:
The Oxford English dictionary has 171,476 words that are currently in use plus 47,156 obsolete words.
Websters Third New Internationl dictionary has 470,000 words.
Idk what to tell you, when more than one person has told you to stop using a word for x reasons - it really isn't that fucking hard to find a new word. Failing to do so, despite having over 170,000 words to choose from, makes you an asshole. Take it or leave it.
Your argument is absurd. Your facts are probably correct yet your logic is flawed. Im ok with being an asshole in the perspective of idiots, it just means idiots are less likely to want to engage with me, sounds like a win.
Yeah man, you aren't going to get it without insults - you're unfortunately a product of your environment.
The only idiot is you.
There is nothing to get. You want to pretend that you can make the world a happy place for everybody by censorship. You cant. It doesnt work tbat way.
Good god, living in polite society isn't censorship- it's common fucking decency. You're a troglodyte.
Nice name calling. Polite society my ass.
