The R word is a bit different for me, tho. People in my personal life have had severe mental compromises, so the word actually does have a bit of sting to it. To me, it's even more cutting than the N word. My stepdad works with people whove had life altering brain injuries. His whole job is about helping those people or just spending time with them. Id never use that word to refer to his clients or other people of lesser mental capacity. To do that is to be a true dick. But my buddy who has the common sense of a toilet brush half the time? Yeah imma use that word in regards to him. Language is ever changing. And the fact people focus so much on that word vs other words that have similar origins and meaning is just dumb and nonsensical. --- "I got a rolla truc, look" ~ sleaford mods "The most tender place in my heart is for strangers." ~ neko case <cite>CanuckCowboy posted [p:924601615] in Have you e...
