      I was vaguely quoting someone. I’ll repost it censored if you’d prefer but I don’t remember it word for word so you’d need to send me a copy of it.

          Ah, learn something everyday. Thanks for the education, I appreciate it.

          I think a discussion about the R word would be interesting, but I know this isn’t the time and place for it. I’ll repost my comment with it removed.

        Just replace the ‘rard’ word with regarded individual and most everyone will get it.

      It’s wasn’t until old Smosh made that song saying regared mean slow and its offencive and it went viral, then a few months later then suddenly everyone found it ‘offencive’, took the song down then made a song about saying regarded was fine and it got no traction.

      Yes I will die on this hill and I do arbitrarally blame Smosh for my fav word being socially banned.

        I grew up in a time where everyone called each other gay as a slur, not understanding how bad that was. We all adapted and don’t say it as a slur anymore.

          Maybe, I think people these days are way to soft, then again I’m also sick of the way things are structured socially nowadays, it just seems so superficial and to get bent out of shape over some of these things are silly in my mind, but I always had thick skin I guess.

          Edit: Fuck the other guys right, this is Turing into old man shouts at cloud.

        I’ve literally never heard if what you’re talking about, and I’ve known the word of a slur since I was a teenager. Maybe its time to grow up a little?

          Maybe mind your own manners a bit, there is more to growing up then just the words we use.

            Mind your manners, says the person defending the usage of slurs. The lack of self-awareness is astounding. You’re right though, there is more to growing up than the words we use, but dying on the hill of pro-slur is a childish thing to do. Pathetic.

              Im not going to get into an argument with someone who aim to waste my time trying to start one. people have opinions and clearly you didn’t like mine and insulted me for it and that all you’ve accomplished, take your own advice.
