:So, then...is that why you get pleasure out of satanism? Now, here is subject most people are "retarded" concerning! :Yes, it's a word. But, it's a word that is correctly applied (although not sensitively) to people who have a mental disability which "retards" their ability to learn, or to reason. When applied to people of allegedly normal intelligence who happen to exhibit less than intelligent behavior, it is intended as an insult. However, often the opposite effect happens and it actually turns out to be an insult to the people to whom it is correctly applied, because even in their "retarded" state, they would never be guilty of some of the stupidity exhibited by "normal" people. So, in effect, what you are doing is attempting to insult non-retarded people by calling them retarded, which in and of itself is an insult to truly retarded people because it implies that they are less in some way than "normal" people are. So, yes..even though it may have not been the intention, you were, in fact, making fun of retarded people. Not that it really bothers me...I just thought I would point that out. If you don't mind me making fun of satanists, then I won't mind you making fun of retarded people. Or, did you really mean "satirist"?
:
I really wasnt making in fun of Retards...but, hey...compassion is the vice of Kings and Queens!
