Hey, banana

[Deleted User] · March 2010

I'm not kidding when I say that she is the first poster that I've encountered that literally frightened me because she seems so crazy. She totally seems like the type that would try to eff with you IRL. She makes me thankful that I took down my bio and pictures.

I really wish she had posted her business name. I was dying to post negative reviews of her everywhere I could think of.

Think Momo could be a nickname for Marta?

[QUOTE]emily - I'm confused...Momo is the one who came out and called another a poster a retard for no reason.

<div>True, I definitely disagree with her on that, but she was also saying that some of the regs are hypocrites for not using it on here, but then using it with their friends. I kind of agree with that sentiment. I don't see why it is not okay in one instance, but okay in the other. I agree that in one instance there is a greater chance of offending someone than in the other, but I still don't see how it is right or okay to use it if you know it to be wrong to use in general.</div>

My brother also has a developmental disability, so I agree 100%. It's never ok to use words like that. Hopefully you girls don't also use the N word in regular conversation.

Wow, I never thought about the origins of "gypped", even though I am always careful not to use the words gay or retard. Thanks, Emily. I cringe when I hear the other words, but I understand the intent is not malicious when my friends use it, so I don't get upset, but I don't understand why these words need to be used descriptively at all--unless your homework is really homosexual.

Is the Board of MRDD a national thing, or is that just here in my area? I thought it was very interesting that they were working to have the "MR" removed (or maybe they did? I heard the story, then lost track of it), especially since there is so much negativity attached to "retardation".

"gypped" is one of the reasons why Scooby left, from what I remember.

Saxy, here in NJ members of my family work for the ARC which used to be the acronym for Association of Retarded Citizens. Now it's no longer an acronym, just the name of the umbrella organization. Perhaps that's similar to your MRDD?

I've never heard of MRDD but I assume its services are like those of the ARC.

saxy414 · March 2010

Trix, I think so. MRDD--Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities.

Stina, nice boobs.
