Neither does "handicapped", honestly Tom Send a noteboard - 16/06/2017 07:18:15 PM

Why did they assume that meant crippled? Are we giving them some points? Letting them tee off at the ladies' tee? It's a sporting term, really.

Let's just fucking get back to saying "cripple", a good old Anglo-Saxon root from the good old days of the patriarchy.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

The funny thing about violence is you can't control it. Tom - 14/06/2017 04:31:35 PM 937 Views
So you thought that would scare me Tom? Roland00 - 14/06/2017 09:30:34 PM 899 Views
The aim was not to scare anyone. It was to show that violence is not controllable. Tom - 15/06/2017 04:24:12 AM 864 Views
