[The Other Side]

"Michele Bachman is just plain retarded. Her thinking is so backwards its not even worth defining." (TOS)



I thought it was said years ago that "retarded" was an off limits word here. TOS , Use you thesaurus for a better word.

I was never told this..

Peace.

Political correctness needs to be reigned in. Before I even knew what a 'reta' was, I was using the term. Do you think mentally challenged people don't call each other reta's? Lighten up.

Regarding the word , retarded. Years ago someone was totally offended by this word and Cheryl, I think, laid down the law. Believe me, there were many times I've wanted to use that word......even though it's a regular old word......" Progress can be retarded."

I've avoided it because of the incident.

[moreluck]

Because you've talked to most democrats, right?

OK, "you" refers to people on the other side against the GOP. And I can't refer to them as 'the other side' because that's the name of a BC member.

And jones, you'd be completely wrong....I steer clear of Democrats, they're nuts!! Crazy bastards!!

I don't do bridge.....I don't even like building them. I'm sure all your female teamsters just love being called "brothers' !!

I know my mentally challenged daughter has never used the word, nor have her friends that I've heard in 24 years. It's easy to "lighten up" when it doesn't affect you personally.

[menotyou]

That's true. But, as I said, I didn't even know what it meant. Is there one perfect person out there that has never offended anyone? I stand by what I said as far as lighten up. I mean no disrespect to you or your child. But, yes, people-including me at times- need to lighten up.

Dont let the door hit you on the way out. Enjoy your minimum wage job that awaits you after rick perry creates it for you. You sir, dont have the juevos to back up your words. If you did, you would turn in your union card today and walk out on principle.

Unfortunately, principle is meaningless to people who parade around calling themselves patriots.

peace.

The political climate in Indiana is ripe next year for a right to work law to pass. I can turn in my union card and still keep my job! how do you like them apples?

If Rick Perry creates a min. wage job....that's still better than ZERO job creation no matter what world you live in.

Agreed employment > unemployment regardless of the kind of job it is.
