    Is it "OK" to say "retard" or "retarded" again now??  

    Legit question to MODS.  I would like approval like I had in the late 80s and early 90s to call people "retards" and "retarded".  Like my little brother back in the day, "hey you retard".  Or "man that shit is retarded".  Then he'd come back with "you're the gay retard".  I remember those days fondly...I'm going to text my brother now....  

    Time is a flat circle....

    Imma say “ ok-k-k “ like I was The Big A’s LiL Scrappy ,

    and then some fake ass bastard gonna come back at me like what I’m sayin’s somethin’ racist and they’ll get all enraged and wanna slap me ……weak

    with a limp wrist across my face but they’ll break their thin fingers and then berate me for having the fattest cheeks

    as they shake into spasms yellin’ out dramatically “ Please someone call the Paramedics now and please ! “ ……Geeks

    can’t fondle language and bless it with some dialect……..

    Instead they just wanna get all white guy correct with all their lines uninspiring and direct

    Blech !

    I’m tired of delivering chin checks in the written nah I’m lyin’ it’s the best

    so wisenheimers stop disguisin’ your intents ,

    and get some respect ,

    for the differences in diction you dickhead misers so slyly forget ………time and again ……

    * Too many nerds all stressed out about something that’s not just like them in here peace_5

    It is so weird to me that it is a ‘bad’ word.  What they say now is ‘slow’.  How soon before that becomes a bad word.  
    You can’t call people fat or short, etc.  
    So any euphemisms that you use for ‘retard’ is going to be just the same.  Those words are just not deemed ‘bad’ yet.

    This ain’t Twins and I ain’t Beetroot McKinley …

    so I’m simply gonna spit that since we isn’t privy to the behind the scenes diabolicalness of it all ,

    that instead we should just focus on the odor comin’ from Denmark’s own Calde’s low testosterone balls ……

    For what exact reason ? To be honest …..

    I’m not quite even sure of …..

    except that statement’s provocative and it gets the people goin’ son ……

    like a redbull mixed soda with vodka drink and two hits of the sniff that gets the party “ turnt up “

    till the eventual and inevitable “ you ate too much edibles “ and now you’re melancholy from the bombing of that not burnt but still ferocious bud …….

    cuz Copenhagen to me isn’t a place , it’s the chaw in the lip that my preacher would keep there as he banged philosophical on the Bible and it’s merits ………

    as his religious estudiantes and constituents sat there in their chairs like hypnotized mindless ferrets……

    subdued and not moving because they had been tranquillized………

    so because of that fact in my rhyme I’m taking Jesus the baby faced assassin to make me massive chips against the Atlanta Braves for a fat stack of dimes …….

    ya dig ?

    In my opinion no words should be “bad” it is the intend they are said with and not the words themselves (I know it is hardly any excuse but I only use the word “retard” like the slang form - I have yet to find myself in a situation where I have to talk about people that are retarded for real in English - when that time come I will call them slow if they tell me they prefer that) - and to be fair to call Slim. “Retarded” is mostly hurtful to the people that are retarded for real - he should consider himself lucky to get put in the box with them by me - I have higher hopes for themthumbs_up

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    I don't see it as any failure. Trump has several countries ready to negotiate, no need to keep everybody's undies in a bunch. He was showing he means it or at least bluffed that he means it.

    Just like the deportations to El Salvador. No way he wins that in court, eventually he loses that one. But really he already won, big! Don't think that video from El Savador's airport with men in chains, head's held down and shaved on the tarmack wasn't staged. Great lighting, several camera angles. The powerful message that sent will be worth all the legal loses.

    Same with the tariff barrage.

    But I am glad some smart people have whispered in Trumps ears - and I don’t care if he will portray this as his master plan - this was a big W for the world - that we would have been in a better situation if he never had started it is another discussion - but we should celebrate the few wins we get - I guess we can count those on one hand after his 4 years in office - but this was surely one of them (maybe at some point he will also realise that the global trading market is not a zero-sum game - so everyone can potentially win it - he doesn’t have to hurt others to win

    @Calde13

     I see it this way;

    Trump has talked tariffs his whole election campaign. He won election in November and took office in late January.

    How many countries stepped up knowing he was talking tariffs? How many said let's talk now?

    Oh no, you have to "move their cheese" first to get action, so Trump moved the cheese as only he can. Not saying I agree or would use his methods but I understand where he is going.

    And smart people are in his ear everyday, not men in lipstick and high heels. Earlier this week CNBC said they had a source who leaked the 90-day pause plan but then retracted it. Looks like their source was correct, it was in the works.

    - and to be fair to call Slim. “Retarded” is mostly hurtful to the people that are retarded for real -  @Calde13 

     how is this poster still here?  No poster in the history of Covers has ever survived on the perception angle of an insult, which means this poster is here to stir the pot an_light

    this poster wouldn't last 24 hours in any big city of the USA talking this smack.  NYC, CHI, LA, DAL.  

    I can't believe I was boxed for the petty stuff when this is allowed to stilllllllllllllll go on.  Wake up and earn your paycheck

    Because it's the PB will be the excuse. Once saw a regular poster say here that another poster should find some rope and a loose stool. Of course it was directed at a Trump supporter.
