If you said that aloud amongst pals, they would have all the right in the world to call you out on it if they thought it was out of line. Same same here, no? I mean, it certainly didn't seem like a joke (if that's what it was) to me when I first read it...
What? I made an "offensive" generalised statement.
It wasn't offensive and it wasn't generalised.
My statement was "you are worse than downs in an ice-ceam queue!
That refers to retarded people in a queue. WTF is wrong with that reference?
Like you lot; CFT Palynka and Crowley - all in a queue acting like retards to take a bite at a TSM member.
...[text shortened]... a retard in this forum offensive God bless you. That would be a change in tune from you!
Originally posted by CrowleyAh, for your information. "Down's Syndrome" is now considered a no-no. It's a put Down. It is now refered to as "Up's Syndrome". Makes me feel so warm a fuzzy inside.
No-one has been saying the actual terms "retard" or "Down's Syndrome" is offensive. They can be used in an offensive context, though.
Mike made a very offensive, generalised statement about the way Down's Syndrome sufferers would act around a mobile purveyor of ice-cream.
GRANNY.

What do "retards" act like in a queue, waiting for ice-cream, Mike? Just asking since you seem to be the expert.
BTW, calling people "retards" isn't allowed in the forums. Were you calling me a retard?

Please. This is about 40% DRAMA.
We've had levels as high as 85%. Very close to a DRAMA meltdown.
As for accuracy Nords, you are correct - but I wasn't quoting medical literature. "Almost all extra chromosomal born children do have a mild to medium mental develoment disability" to quote googled article.
That, by definiton, is a form of retardation, in my opinion.

Saying '100 % of downs kids in a queue would act retarded' is 100% ignorant and prejudiced. You've prejudged their behavior based on who they are.

I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way

I made reference to a downs in an ice-cream queue. I allowed inference at all levels, but that inference seem to have been twisted by twisted and perverted minds in the following and very suggestive posts from none other than your maties.
If you found it offensive at all then ALERT YOURSELVES and remove it YOURSELVES.... and don't be tardy about it, do it promptly!

I thought we'd established I was ignorant and prejudiced about 60 threads ago? So yet another matey from PFC joins in a bit late too!
