Sugar was on the money a couple months back when he said the country was full of retards.

Well, here's two cents for ya. What reallllly disgusts me is the political correctness
and overt acceptance some feel they own by throwing out the term "retarded"
with total disregard to how it will affect a segment of the population.

As guardian and caregiver to my younger developmentally disabled brother,
(retarded being the more recognizable term) let me just say, get a clue.

Oh yeah, I know, "but, but, but, we don't mean it thaaaaat way".

Try walking into a room and shouting "nigger", and see if you get two seconds
to explain yourself.

As I've said all my life in regard to my brother, he's retarded, not stupid.

Can't say the same for the insensitive and apparently accepted misuse of the term.

Now, back to making fun of the candidates and those who make fun of them.

Why? Because it's fun. And that makes the flow of this conversation funny because
I see some people here who I've always noticed adored having fun.

Politics, go figure.

You'd have a lot longer than two seconds and actually .. it's not likely that too many people would even give a rat's ass, unless Al Sharpton happens to be in the room.

As in it has very little to do with ideas, but rather what team they happen to be on and who is perceived to "help" them more after the election. Very little content, very high levels of flapping lips.

Am I the only one who can't hear a word that Aneirin is saying anymore due to his new Charlie Manson photo as his primary pic?

It's totally up to you if you choose to take my post completely out of context. There was never an attack on your brother or others who are similarly unfortunate in that respect. And you are/were well aware of that. If that isn't good enough, I'll give you my address, honey.
