Anyway hope this helps kinda just info dumped while laying in bed so might forgot something. feel free to ask questions.

Damn you wrote all that on a phone?

Mental retardation hasn’t been a widely recognized medical condition for at least 30 years. They started scrubbing the term out of diagnostic criteria in the 90s and I think the last one to use it was officially retired in the 00s.

Yeah back in the 90s it was still in use in some diagnostic criteria, even though it was already considered dated then. These days I don’t think it’s used in a medical capacity anywhere anymore.

I don’t think it’s solely a you problem as many people do consider the term too offensive to use, but it is one of those words the jury is divided on, with just as many people using it nonchalantly. I expect over time it’ll be no different from moron or idiot.

My thoughts exactly.

I don’t understand how people think it’s such a big deal anyway. I mean, it’s functionally the same thing as calling someone a moron or an idiot or an imbecile, yet I don’t know anyone who has any problem with those words. All are obsolete medical terms for intellectually disabled people, used in modern parlance to insult someone’s intellect.

why’d you erase the first line of the second name

Good way to ensure that whatever regime rises from the ashes will be even more backwards than the last.

Iran doesn’t have starving children.

The alternative is to trade with the totalitarian regime, which serves to keep them in power. If you could support the people but not the regime then of course that would be the best course of action, but that is not how it works.

If open trade with, and therefore support of, a totalitarian theocratic regime that just killed tens of thousands of protestors is what you support, you’re just as sick.

I did not claim that starting a war on Iran was OK. I said that sanctioning them is OK. Sanctions on Iran should not stop just because of Trump’s idiotic war.

Iran was being sanctioned before the attack too. A lot of people act like any enemy of Trump is their ally, but this is not so.

You’re not always right.
