Not even in the same galaxy as what you did. Keep twisting and turning.

First time I used it:

You really like using 'retard/retarded'.

Here I could have maybe said 'r' word

Second time:

retard is an ugly slur.

Really? You think this is in ANY way comparable to what you did?

Wonder what this parent would know or even care what you were trying to accomplish using the word. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022657775

We're just not going to agree. I think it's an ugly slur that shouldn't be used. You think it's ok if it suits your narrative. We're just going to disagree.

Let me ask you, are those other slurs ok to use? If not, why not? Why is one ok but the others not? I don't understand that.
