I just read a post on another blog that sickened me to the core!
Normally I will not say who it is when these things happen but in this instance I am going to name names and point fingers because I'm pissed off and this is wrong on every level!
Shame on you TheManicuredManatee Shame and how dare you!
I have un followed and will NOT visit that blog again.
You think using the word retarded is funny? No it is not! You say that because you "had" a mentally challenged family member you have the right to use that word as much as you want, and in a derogitory manner no less. Well you Miss are very WRONG! If you truly did have a family member that was mentally challenged you of all people should be more sensitive and respectful.
My opinion is that the word Retarded is used in a rude, hatefilled,and derogatory manner as ofter or more so than the "N" word, the word faggot, and so many others. Why? Why can't you use your mind and heart and be respectful even in humor? Do you find it funny to see a child with Down syndrom cry? You must if that word is so hillarious. Is it funny for a 16 year old homosexual to commit suicide? Sure laugh it up while YOU slip the noose around his neck.
Oh they are just jokes you say...No they are words that can hurt and you have no right to blatantly disregard the feelings of other humans! Not under any circumstances, including a so called joke!
Oh and so Miss Manatee, so you say I'm a Biotch because I am in your words "overly sensative"?
I will be a straight up BITCH when you use hate and then lazily excuse it saying that YOU have some secret right to hurt others and be disrespectful.
No one has a right or reason to throw around hurtful words or to use derogatory words as a joke!
Some people are saying oh maybe she's going through something or she has issues and we should cut her some slack!
NO, no effin' way should we cut her or anyone any slack for being hurtfull toward an entire group of humans.
I'm going through things...you want the list? I still manage to treat others with respect and to not ignorantly throw around derogitory words to get a cheap laugh on my blog.
People be responsible, especially fellow bloggers, be respectful and be considerate!
I encourage you all to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves!
Refuse to read hate, demand respect and call people on it when they do not!
I think I'm done but I'm not promising!
