Their vests no longer say "Helping Retarded Children" they now say "Helping Children". But they didn't buy new vests, they just put yellow duct tape over the retarded part.

My kid wouldn't take the tootsie roll from the dude. She told him, "I'm not supposed to take candy from people I don't know." I don't know why she said that because she's taken candy from them before. In her defense he was sort of a creepy little old man. He tried to give her more candy on the way out of the store too, she still wouldn't take it from him.

"Retarded" is no longer a "PC" word. (They really need to get new vests.) It's been replaced by "Challenged" Children. (Mentally Challenged or Physically Challegned.) Ah, the wonders of the "PC" era.

(I say that, but I like the work Physically Challenged rather than Paraplegic which what I am.)

It's all about labels. What's that 60's song, "Signs".

It's good that your Daughter won't take candy from a stranger. (My Parents always told me the same thing, and yet every year I would go Trick or Treating.)

So is Vertically Challenged wrong?

What about Gravity Challenged?

George Carlin communicated what's wrong with the English language better than any of us. Miss ya George. RIP.

Progression of euphemisms:

WW1 - Shell Shock

WW2 - Battle Fatigue

Korea - Operational Exhaustion

Vietnam - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

"The language that takes the life out of life."

"The poor used to live in slums, now the economically disadvantaged occupy substandard housing in the inner cities."

On the OP's point about retardation: (<-see, everybody does it, "retards" would have worked better for pure communication there)

"These poor suckers have been bullpooted by the system into beleiving that if you change the name of the condition, somehow you'll change the condition. Well, it doesn't work that way."

Have a listen, this is a studio version, so it's easier to see how serious he was about the subject.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By amcoolio · Posted

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
