GDI asked me to sign a petition banning the word "retard" from campus because it is hurtful to the mentally challenged. Told him "I take my first amendment more seriously than his retarded petition." TFM.

    Let’s be honest though, banning the word “retarded” from a college campus, or from anywhere ever, is stupid–or retarded, if you prefer. It’s a total waste of a liberal gdi’s time. Furthermore, it is totally unenforceable.

    Next can we ban the word “welfare,” or “immigrant?” What about “poverty,” “blue-collar,” or “working-class?” Someone might get offended. We wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings with a factual classification (albeit a politically incorrect one in the case of “retarded,” but I only subscribe to that garbage when I am speaking in public).

      Agree that it’s dumb to ban the word, however the response is not characteristic of a gentleman. Retard is not reffering to special need kids, by definition “to delay”. So saying something is retarded would mean it delays and makes more difficult for you.

  2. Calling someone with a mental handicap retarded is just distasteful. They didn’t choose to be that way. They were born like that. Usually there is one less fortunate in every family. If someone were to call my cousin retarded and I heard it I would beat them to a pulp.

    not okay. GDI was right about one thing, ”retard” is never acceptable.

    It was probably not a ban, but just asking people to sign a pledge (not what you’re all thinking) to not use the word because it is offensive to people with disabilities.

    He was not trying to take away your First Amendment rights.

      I figured this after I read it a couple times. It’s pretty funny at face value. Your run-on sentence, however, is not.

      As for you VAfratting, did you really just say “sorry I’m not sorry?” This also isn’t the TSM wall or San Franciso. Take your woman ways somewhere else.

      My mistake, I read that wrong. But you can still take your dumbass somewhere else.

    You should feel like a dumbass considering it isnt even a GDI who is saying it. It is an actual member of a fraternity at your school. Way to look like a tool and actually not support greek life considering all the shit that has been going on.

      …Just like I didnt really be a dick and say the whole first amendment thing, its a joke, relax. I saw what was going on outside the bonnie and made a hypothetical TFM about it
