P.S. For the record, Highway, what do you think does greater injury to a person? To be called Homo- or one of those other referenced "slurs" or to be told you are brain dead and drooling at the keyboard? Or having your mortality questioned as if perhaps it is not valuable enough to maintain?

I am glad you asked me that, OD.

The answer to your question is that depends on who you are talking to. Many times in my childhood days I was called an "M.R." because of my handicap (hearing). Whereas I could have punched their lights out, but I took the verbal abuse anyway and did nothing. That would have made it worse, and only I could have gotten in trouble if and when any adult heard about it, like my parents or the principals, et al. If my younger sister saw what was happening to me, she would have punched the offenders' lights out. Some kids were cruel in those days.

Lord I was glad that those days were long past. But in my elementary school days, the words describing gays were unheard of. It is when in high school I began to hear those words, but I did not know what that word meant. Later on, about maybe 15 years later, I finally connected the two words together. It took me a long time on that before I connected the dots.

I still seek a relationship with a lady. Who knows. That might come next month, three months from now, or whenever.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

Crazy Flamingos and Knotty Lady,

You can afford to act like I am complaining, it wasn't you who took the verbal abuse. I bring it up because a thread is begun on the slurs that ought not be used. But in reality, those terms are no more, and undoubtedly less painful to read, than a long description of one's presumed cognitive incapacities.

Not to mention, the added insult that was said that I "fingered my butt"...

First of all, I have a mentally retarded daughter. She has not ever done that, but it is hurtful to read that about me, knowing it is a picture painted of the highly medically involved disabled among us. I have worked on staff at an ARC and there was a man there that was a rectal digger. It is a terrible behavior that coincides with being extremely mentally retarded.

So that joined with the many other insults I have been the object of here of late, your making light of it, simply shows your own lack of tolerance, your own lack of compassion, and more obvious than you must realize, your lack of ability to refute my position politically or philosophically.

I do have a neurological disease that has taken a steady progression this year too. Perhaps I cling to typing at a forum, even where I am being hurt quite often, only cos I can no longer write with a pen or pencil. I am losing certain motor skills. Since I can type, I guess I attempt to type my lil heart out. My children will take good care of me, but it is not the way I had hoped my "golden years" would turn out. At any rate, thanks for the wine and cheese.

Right back at ya! When I write with far too much incoherence to be a member here, I trust one of the mods will make me aware.

Sorry to hear of your neurological disease, OD. I hope you live in comfort with it. My heart goes out to you.

What offends me are repeated posts about OD being called "brain dead."

Knowing what I knew about her condition, it offended me. And I didn't even know it had progressed as far as she said here. I'm kinda glad she decided not to endure this any more. I know you didn't know what you were doing, but some of you guys were brutal.

Let us know if we need to add any to the list.

can we try to play nice
I didn't know "Jew" was an offensive word. "Queen" is questionable too. What you left out, and is the most offensive of all, is "poo-poo head."

Yes, it took true genius to immortalize such words.

RIP, George.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
