What the LIBTARDS want.

Posted by B68 SLOW POKE on Tue Dec 5 08:53:56 2017

Just like in the insane UK. Where 90% of the [cops?] are sent out onto the street with NO GUNS. That is what the LIBTARDS want for the USA. Logic would promote that MORE GUNS is better than NO GUNS. Including arming private citizens like in ISRAEL.

Hey, dumbass: Do you realize that private citizens are NOT armed in Israel. It is extremely difficult to get a gun permit in Israel.

Regular police (the famous "Bobbies") in the UK have never been armed with firearms, and it's worked pretty well for them.

P.S. Since the word "retarded" is generally considered offensive and unacceptable today, shouldn't terms which use a portion of that word as an insult be considered likewise?

Retarded means the hindrance of development, to hold back.

England is changing, my man!

On older cars, there was the spark advance and retard for the spark plugs. It didn't mean you could adjust your engine's IQ.

Also, the phrase "en retard" in French is a "false friend"; it means to be late.

Hmm, when I took French in HS, those were known as "false cognates". I guess false friend is another term.

"Retarded" and "delinquent" both started off as words meaning "delayed" or "late". They assumed quite different meanings when used to refer to people. I guess the idea was to refer to intellectual development, in the first case, and moral development, in the second, as being delayed. Of course, that wasn't a terribly accurate description.

There's nothing wrong with using "retarded" in the literal sense of saying that a spark is advanced or retarded. Likewise, we still hear about delinquent bill payment. But using "retarded" to mean intellectually impaired is frowned on today. Using it as an insult word is even uglier. So using just the second syllable and appending it to another word to form an insulting variation of it really should be seen as utterly repugnant.

That's probably the correct term.

Another one that got me was "étrangère", which looks like "stranger" at first glance but means "foreigner".

"There's nothing wrong with using "retarded" in the literal sense of saying that a spark is advanced or retarded."

AAh yes. The "good old days" when you could tune an engine with a timing light, a matchbook cover (to gap the points) & a feeler gauge to gap the sparkplugs. Retarded comes in when you had to retard the spark. You'd do that by loosening the nut at the bottom of the distributer & rotating same until the timing was right. This was checked by the timing light lining up with the chalkmark on the flywheel. All that lines up, then its off to the "Connecting Highway"to make some $$$.

Same with "moron", "imbecile" and "idiot", which were medical terms (IQ range of 70-51, 50-26 and 25-0 respectively).

When you think about it, that one actually makes some sense, as in a foreigner is a stranger to the particular country.
