Good point, but i never understood it, words are words, sure some of them carry a certain weight, but i didn't think that "retarded" was spe… morecifically one of them. Ever been in a "retarded situation" ?
The kind of situations that make you lose your own brain cells out of the sheer stupidity of it all ?
That's what i meant by "retarded" and stupid or dumb doesn't quite cut it for me as a word to describe it truthfully.
Like i said, you don't seem to be the only one who don't, so i don't see why you're sorry :P
It's just a misunderstanding is all
I do… moren't think i'm in the wrong here, but out of respect to all those who apparently see me as some kind of hater, i won't say "that" word anymore, also out of respect for you Rachelle, off course ^^
If anything i should be the one who's sorry, although i won't lie and must admit that i'm really not since i don't really see what the big deal is, as i said its just a word to me to describe such situation. :P
People should stop downvoting left and right though, although it does help knowing how a certain percentage feel about some of my comments and how i should react as a response to them.
At the end of the day though, all of them were results of misunderstandings, once again i apologise for whatever issues you downvoters had and hope that i could open your eyes to a more open approach to them.

I DON'T HATE YOU. You found the Duneloader! :O ( even though... it was too late and now we can't do anythig... ;_; )
( also dont tell anyone, but your races aren't actually that bad >_> )
I did the same thing and then slept til 4 PM x_x oops
Thanks for the good luck wishes! I'm probably gonna go to sleep early tonight too … morelol, its not good to keep staying up til like 4 AM and like you said it does tend to make people feel like shit x_x Sorry you felt like shit today though! ;_;
You're right, words are only words, but humans decided to use this word to describe a mental state more than a situation, you never know if the people around you will be offended from it or not, that's why there are other synonyms.
I guess I understand, I was also in "retarded" situations, but I still think that it's like saying "wow! this guy is so gay!", because even though gay means happy and cheerful, it can be taken as the definition of a sexual preference.

I won't lie, i really don't see what the fuss is about, if someone says something that can be interpreted as kinda gay, i don't see why one wouldn't point it out JUST BECAUSE it MIGHT be offensive to someone who's in fact gay...
It's all about doing it in a tasteful manner and pointing out that it's obviously not meant to make fun of anyone in any way.
In the instance of the word "retarded" i didn't mean to offend anyone at all, and i'd like to think that someone who came here with MR, wouldn't make a fuss out of it either and would understand that it wasn't making fun of anyone.
Same for the word gay, if someone says "Ha! Gaaaay !!" I don't think they would be offended by that statement...
There's way more ways to be offensive than using words that MIGHT be offensive....

Seriously....who the hell keeps downvoting my comments ?! I explain everything in a calm and peaceful manner and people STILL make a fuss about it?
I'M NOT MAKING FUN OF ANYONE HERE !! -_-
Like i explained stupid doesn't quite cut it for me in this situation, but i'm done arguing over the same matter over and over, i said what i had to say and i won't add more to the fire...
Another thing, if you downvoted MY comment, because i said the bloody word in between parenthesis, WTW and AWESOMEO did the same thing, yet I get three downvotes....
I'm just replying by using the same term....get over it people jeez... -_-
I also said I thought it was, personal opinion, if you don't agree that's fine, just move on and ignore, or lets continue this debate and waste more time on the matter...
I've never been in a "retarded situation", because I hate that word and don't use it in everyday life.
There are awkward situations and there are stupid situations. THIS is a stupid situation, in my opinion.

Because i didn't see it as a risk, i'm not using that bloody word anytime soon with you guys that's for sure, i learned my lesson, might as well talk about religion...just get over it would ya kindly?
I'm not about to censure my words just because it MIGHT offend someone who just happens to read this, i really don't care, as long as they know i didn't mean to offend anyone.
I'm actually surprised that you like South Park if you're so easily offended, they are even worst than me !!
Yet people accept it because its a satire and meant to make people laugh at the real world and its multiple issues. They won't censor themselves just because a few got butthurt, same with me, i just don't roll that way...I just don't....and they shouldn't either !!
Either you can make fun of everything or you can make fun or nothing. Humor is subjective, my comment wasn't even humor, satire or offensive, it was just a bloody word...
Yet people got offended by it...i don't understand this world sometimes...There's way worst than me out there...
Whatever, what's done is done, lets just get over this and move on with our lives shall we ? Elian is nicee....i guess i still have my issues with him...seeing how he behaves online...xD
I wasn't making fun of him, i was making fun of his comment, nuance.
Dude, I understand the deal about the word. That's fine, I'm over it.
It's just that Elian is nice, and when you were making fun of him, I got kind of mad.
Whatever, what's done is done, lets just get over this and move on with our lives shall we ? Elian is nicee....i guess i still have my issue… mores with him...seeing how he behaves online...xD
I wasn't making fun of him, i was making fun of his comment, nuance.
that's fine i told you, you really don't have to be sorry, i understand your point of view, doesn't mean i agree with it, oh and i'm not the one who downvoted your comment, in fact i never downvoted any comments since i'm here :P
I just don't see the point to be honest...I just don't care about it...in my mind i'd rather give a thumbs up or not, downvoting seems petty to me..
sigh, again, it's not me who needs to get over it, it's the people who read it and could get hurt.
It's not personal to me, I'm trying to say what other people think, not me, I'm over it.
You don't need to censure anything, I wasn't making you, it's a friendly recommendation to prevent future confusion.
You think they offend me in Southpark? Because as a Jew, and you probably know how much they make fun of us, I never, EVER got offended, BUT, a lot, and I mean a TON of other Jews were offended by it, because some people can't understand those jokes, just like how you used that word.
In fact, Trey and Matt's game was banned in steam (in Israel), due to the "Jew" class, but I wanted to play it so much that I found a place to buy it in. I'm a rare example of a Jew who likes Southpark so much, I guess I just don't give a fuck, but my point is that some people DO give a fuck.
Again, you can use whatever words your mind desires, but there will always be people offended by it, consider that.
So yeah, I was just talking about how that word may sound to other people who suffer from retardation.
Because i didn't see it as a risk, i'm not using that bloody word anytime soon with you guys that's for sure, i learned my lesson, might as … morewell talk about religion...just get over it would ya kindly?

Meh, I don't care anymore. All I'm saying is that I didn't see anything particularly "retarded" about his comment, and I think you guys should be nicer to each other. I'm done arguing.

If anything those who feel offended by it will be people like Rachelle and you who don't like the use of the word...not actual mentally challenged people...
I'm done with this discussion though, was....eye opening, but not really, as i understand the issue already, just never thought it would offend anyone to use such a word....

haha !! I'm not stressing out, i just like pointing the fact that there's always two sides to the medal :P
You're not that oversensitive, i understand where you came from don't worry ^^
We both had good points in our many arguments XD
Also, I didn't really think that Elian saying the paper bag smelled good was a "retarded situation".
We're not the ones who are upset, I just don't want to imagine someone with MR going into this thread and getting offended, that's all.
They're not that bad....they're just excruciatingly frustrating, mind boggling and insanity redefined as a race playlist xD
But yeah...not that bad llol
Thanks, i'll add you later.
Same for me, i have to wake up early in the morning to go to my job interview :P
I might work at a zoo !! How exciting xD
You're the one who added me on PSN right ?
No, that's not what I meant. I mean that he only uploads GTA 5, CoD and Gmod, and that's it.
Well i thought it was, what would be a "retarded situation" for you anyway ? I'm just curious xD

Oh okay. Well, I mainly just watch his GTA videos because I've been a GTA fan for over a decade now.
To me, a "retarded situation" would be when I'm actually facing someone with MR, but that's just me.
I won't lie, i really don't see what the fuss is about, if someone says something that can be interpreted as kinda gay, i don't see why one wouldn't point it out JUST BECAUSE it MIGHT be offensive to someone who's in fact gay...

The walking head crabs.
WtW in the story is in her early 20's, Noncy is late 20's or early 30's, whatever you want.
But why take the risk? There are plenty of other words to use who are 100% clean of any potential offence.

Why can't all guys be like this?
People who disagree, downvote, they don't hate you specifically.
Dude, I understand the deal about the word. That's fine, I'm over it.
It's just that Elian is nice, and when you were making fun of him, I got kind of mad.
Gone for like an hour or two, and I miss so much...
