    Political Correctness'.........defined

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    "As a rule of thumb", I try not to use the word "retarded" except in instances where it fits. take for example the way some drive on the freeway here in Los Angeles. The word fits perfectly, and is much less offensive than several other words. Today for example, I am "holding down the fort" at home while my wife is at work, and this guy in a BMW just about runs me over in a "black and tan" BMW. He was too busy texting rather than driving... That guy is an "R" word. Wy wife was rear ended on the freeway by another BMW, it's male driver was also texting while driving. This leads me to the conclusion that most BMW drivers are, in fact, "retards".:wink: :cheesygrin:


    I think this afternoon, Nooshin's uncle and I will go "dutch" on a movie...

    This thread has given me a headache. I'm going to take some aspirin after I get a note from my doctor tomorrow to present to my HOA who will then authorize me to take up to 6 (over a 24-hour) period. Any unused medication will then have to be disposed of in the presence of an authorized HOA Agent within 72 hours (to protect the children in the neighborhood).
