[Channeling STFU]If that was YOUR child, you be going up the goddamn wall. Whatever the fuck she did.[/Channeling STFU]

You'd be wrong. That has the potential to be my child, not through poor parenting but through developmental disabilities. The special education department has safe but firm restraint policies in place that have been explained very clearly to all parents. I wouldn't just be tolerant of the fact that they had restrained my child if he were physically out-of-control, I would expect it. I'd be "going up the goddamn wall" if they had allowed him to continue to endanger himself and others, in fact.

Then again, you can bet that it wouldn't have gotten to the point of arrest and psychiatric commitment for my child, because I would have shown up to the school the first damn time they called.

Bravo Clod.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-26-2010, 03:36 AM

Seconded. Very smart Chica she is, she is.

Gravdigr · 02-27-2010, 04:27 PM

Bah! And harrumph!

If I had a child with developmental disabilities, I would more sensitive to calling other people (or their ideas) 'retarded'.

Gravdigr · 02-27-2010, 04:30 PM

Bu, that's me, and she can say anything she wants.

Clodfobble · 02-27-2010, 05:15 PM

Yeah, if you're black, you can say "the n-word" too.

Well, if you're black, or if you're Flint.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-27-2010, 09:01 PM

The people and organizations dealing with, or representing, children/adults with learning disabilities, resent them being called retarded. Fine, I'm down with that.

BUT, banishing the valid English word retarded, in all it's other contexts, is not. Retarded in the opposite of advanced. Quick, learning disability the spark before the engine stalls! I don't think so. Saying your idea/suggestion is retarded means not advanced, moving in the retarded (backward) direction.

Gravdigr · 02-28-2010, 12:58 PM

wait. Wait. WAIT! Words have more than one meaning? The hell you say.

You know what she meant.

BTW: I've been writing to a friend, and I address the letters to Big Giant Bird That Rises From It's Ashes, Arizona. They always come back, wonder why?

retard means to slow or impede progress or movement. It's less about going backwards and more about not going forward as fast as otherwise.

Gets used quite a lot in historic analysis.

TheMercenary · 02-28-2010, 10:19 AM

@ Dana, ever the school marm.

Gravdigr · 02-28-2010, 01:01 PM

Also: The word asshole is a valid English word too, but that doesn't mean I'd appreciate being called one.

Who said banish?

Aliantha · 02-28-2010, 08:57 PM

There's a difference between being an asshole and having one.
