I hope nobody took my previous post in a negative way. This is also a very sensative subject in my household. I just wanted to point out that the term some where refering to is now also NOT PC. I also doubt Josh was using it to insult anybody. As both terms brought up at one time where PC.

It is strange how todays PC is tomorrows insult.
How about the term "retarded" which he previously used? Been a LONG time since that was PC.

If only I could live up to the high standards of contribution you have established. I am trying hard to recall even a single previous post you have made, but failing. Oh well.

Josh is in high company, both he and Donald Trump are going down in flames over their egregious comments.

I don't even care about the word choice. Like I said it's respect that is important. If you call someone sped or a retard or refer to yourself as sped or retard when you really mean "stupid", that's disrespectful. Special needs people aren't stupid. They have special needs.

People are upset because they have special needs people in their life. You can respect that and apologize and it would be fine.

The moral of the story:

This all could have been avoided with a simple "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'll edit my post". This thread didn't blow up because of word choice, it blew up because of a response.

The ability to take criticism graciously is absolutely invaluable.

Maybe a time out would be a good idea. No reason to keep this dialogue going. I know I'm done.
