I dont know if you heard this:

 

 

I just saw on the news tonight, I dont know if its local or not, but there is an uproar and proposed boycott of the film because Stillers character is referred to as a retard about 17 times.

 

 

They even referred to it as the "r" word.:rolleyes:

 

I guess now we cant call anyone fatso, schizo, psycho, beanpole...because they may get offended, too.

 

 

Its time for America to grow back its {censored}ing backbone.

 

 

That said, Im glad to see downey back, too. I hope he doesnt {censored} it up.

Thats retarded:facepalm:

 

 

I have two children with special needs and they both ride the special needs bus to school every morning.

 

Call someone "retarded" in my presence and get ready for a fight. Say a joke about the "short bus" and be prepared for a trip to the hospital.

 

Try substituting the n-word every time you hear the r-word and then tell me how acceptable it is.

It was an extremely funny movie, and yes they do make fun of speacial people ALOT! But Robert Downey Jr. was the star of the show lol

 

 

I am going to see it on Friday. But I saw a trailer the other day were the black guy makes fun of Crocodile Dundee and Downey Jr., in his black voice says "Pump da brakes kid. That mans a national treasure." I spit mountain dew everywhere. Just a {censored}ing hilarious line.

:lol:

 

I'm truly sympathetic to your situation, as I have people in my family with special needs, but meh.

 

Getting physical over words is just stupid.

 

You were dealt a {censored}ty hand in some respects, but {censored}ing deal with it. Getting all "RARRRRRRRRRRRRRR :mad:" about people saying silly {censored} makes you look like a moron.

 

My best friend in highschool was born with a short arm. We just used to laugh about it.

 

:idk:

 

Don't use your kid's disabilities as an excuse to get violent.

Sigh. Thought I was dealing with grown ups here. Some of you clearly are so I'll turn to that part of the room.

 

You're right about getting not getting violent. I was using hyperbole (sorry, suavedude, you'll need to look that one up). Of course, if I was going to get violent, I think my children make a damn good reason for it.

 

The fact is, I make great kids. My children are absolutely amazing. That's why demeaning them, even out of ignorance, is not acceptable.

 

I actually think that Tropic Thunder looks really funny. A much deeper level of humor than something like Pineapple Express. I probably will see it eventually.

 

Just because a particular epithet (another one for a few of you to look up) doesn't offend you personally, that doesn't make it OK.
