The only way off-topic is ruined is if no one posts in it.
Although Dek’s defense of using “retarded” as an insult doesn’t help…

at least im not starting crap on here like you are.
That sounds distinctly like something you would say, not him.
Source: You’ve said it about 45 times in the last day and seem quite incapable of thinking of something different to post.
Are you speaking to fluke or me? He put his post in his quote to my post, so I can’t really tell.

thats funny coming from you.since you started crap with me.
I’m just a troublemaker, so it’s in my nature to start things. Either way, you are the one who ruined off topic from March 16-18, so at least I don’t have that dishonor.

I wasn’t trying to defend it’s usage as an insult, rather I pointed out that more likely than not, you wouldn’t have cared if he used any other term that is interchangeable in that context.

I choose this word carefully - don’t be an idiot.
I can understand this, but Frink can never shut up about how [phrase or word used] is offensive. It seems to me that he’s just one of those people, and like I said, I don’t want to sound offensive, but he just has to read stuff that way. You do realize that there are almost zero insulting phrases that don’t originate from an illness, mutation, or sex. The word “dumb” is the same, just like “stupid”, “idiot”, etc.
Words like “dumb” and “stupid” and “idiot” are not interchangeable with “retarded.” That’s the whole fucking point. No one says “there’s a girl in our class who has a teacher’s aide with her at all times, I think it’s because she’s an idiot.” If you are interchanging words that are used as insults with the word retarded, you’re the idiot. But you aren’t retarded.

I meant they are interchangeable as insults, not by literal definition. Don’t be an idiot. His statement was an “or do I sound retarded?”. In this context, you can switch “retarded” with “stupid”, or “like an idiot”, or “like a moron”.
“or do I sound stupid?”
“or do I sound like an idiot?”
“or do I sound like a moron?”
This is what I was referring to. My original post on the subject was saying that if it was any of these alternate insulting terms, you probably wouldn’t have seen the offense in the post, because modern culture is hypocritical.
EDIT: Just remembered that my original post didn’t say exactly that, so I’m not sure why I wrote that at first:
…except the use of “retarded” which I continue to be offended by.
If he had used the word slow, I doubt you would be offended.

I find it interesting how Frink has no problem with “moron,” as far as I am aware, despite its original definition being “A person of borderline intelligence in the former classification of mental retardation, having an intelligence quotient of 50-69.”

^That was my point! Thank you!
EDIT: “Idiot” and “stupid” have almost synonymous definitions upon looking them up, so I guess I was right.

Original definition means nothing. Times change. No one uses moron for anything but an insult anymore.

But that was funny.
And technically I paid him a compliment by adding in “pretend to.”
