I don't know how to respond to people, though, that say there are no other words to use if you take out all the words that offend people. Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071809873569496144.post-32285606452322361662012-02-08T08:41:26.765-05:002012-02-08T08:41:26.765-05:00Thank you for checking out the video and taking th...Thank you for checking out the video and taking the time to leave a comment!

I think my past use of the word lame has always been self-justified in my head because I didn't even <i>contemplate</i> that people still called people with various degrees of problems walking normally 'lame'. It seemed so outdated!<br /><br />Crazy's another one that I have had trouble with because I self-identify as crazy and usually when I call myself wingedhttp://winged.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071809873569496144.post-20866856234347561942012-01-27T05:10:15.543-05:002012-01-27T05:10:15.543-05:00Will pass along the shout out, thanks! =)Will pass along the shout out, thanks! =)PatientChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13072922979960609393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071809873569496144.post-64914602670221838382012-01-27T05:09:52.681-05:002012-01-27T05:09:52.681-05:00Agreed - but once I was attuned to listening for i...Agreed - but once I was attuned to listening for it, I started to hear it everywhere. <br /><br />I like the letter idea! Scarlet letters should not be for "harlots" - who and how you screw is none of my business.

It just sounds so 1960s along with retarded and dumb (as in a mute person).This is definitely food for thought and overall I think jerks should wear a scarlet letter so we all can know who they are and avoid them.
