Homeless Friend posted:i looked up smooth brain syndrome and there are some that have normal level int? how tf is that possible lol. aint the whole utility of the folds to increase surface area for gray matter? or does the structure still exist but just has the folds filled in? in short: wtf Think about how poo poo for brains your average rough brained person is, normal level int doesn't really mean much

Star Phlatulence posted:i made it very clear that i think racial stuff is a completely different category. we are talking specifically about referring to people and things that have, to put it politely, poo poo for brains. are you trolling me? i don't think it's appropriate to troll in this thread. Maybe I need to reset. Define for me the people who have poo poo for brains so I can get on your wavelength.

the last time i was in the hospital i couldn't hear the receptionist because of her mask and she couldn't hear me so i spoke more slowly then she nodded sagely, pulled out a thick black sharpie and drew an uppercase R on my forehead. then afforded me a tiny monkey assistant who led me around by the hand. is this normal?

samantonio posted:It's actually easier than that. If a person is offended by the word retard I just won't use it in my lexicon. If someone is offended by n**ger, I won't use it either. Same goes for any other word that people get offended by. It costs me nothing to lose those words from my verbiage. I don't have to adapt my terminology to each person. I COULD do this, and say spic n**ger to a buddy who isn't offended, but not to a blackxican friend. But it's a lot of effort to do this. It's much easier to just ditch the poo poo words that offend others and speak to other people as if they're people. why do you think you are censoring the n word and not the other problematic words? wouldn’t this indicate that you shouldn’t be dragging the n word into this?

If people are going to get offended by a word, and not the meaning behind the world, the euphemism treadmill will never stop. When is the stigma against having a low IQ going to go away? When are we going to embrace those of us who make decisions with negative consequences based on a lack of intelligence as equal to those who make helpful and positive decisions because they understand the way the world works? When will acting like a person who needs to be monitored or supervised to prevent their own decisions from hurting them and others become normalized? When will intelligentist prejudice go away? When will we stand up and shout "I didn't go to medical school, but I googled some stuff and so I'm just as smart at that doctor when it comes to health!" or "The Earth is flat, I can see it with my own eyes! I refuse to be duped by some 'scientist' who thinks that because he earned a fancy degree he knows more than I do!" at the top of our lungs and reclaim that which was taken from us?

“Retarded” is a bad word. I don’t mean that in the sense that it is naughty to say it. It’s just a low‐quality word that is never the right choice for a statement. It’s no great loss to bury it.
