Well, here we go again....I turned the Video Music Award's off early last night,
first because I really prefer Country Music, but I really wanted to see Kid Rock sing
"All Summer Long"..
and second, I like to see the opening act....rather boring...so off it went.
Today, I hear the host...Russell Brand...who I have never heard of before and I am
sure I am not the only one, made this comment, among many other stupid remarks....
"Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president.
"But I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years? "
So now, we have Hollywood making it okay for the R word to be said not only in a
movie by Ben Stiller, but on a Nationally broadcast Awards show.
Notice, this Russell person did say "black" and not the "N" word...so now I assume
"Retard" is the new "N" word.
So I have to say, thanks Ben Stiller and Russell "Who Cares what your name is" for
allowing the use of the word "Retard" to be used in our everday talk to "attack" people
you don't care for...like our President. I pray that none of your children are ever affected
by Mental Retardation, but if they are, I hope you remember the wording you used-believe
me, it does hurt more people than you know.
About Me
- Mom26children
- I am the proud mother of 6 children. 5 of our children have autism. We do not feel our world has ended, but just begun. We do not chelate, intervene biochemically, give shots of any kind, practice ABA, etc. We treat them as we treat any humanbeing. We treat them with kindness and respect and expect the same from them. They are exceptional children.

Mr Brand is what some people in this country would call an Arse hole but in so doing I am actualy denigrating my noble fundament.
Just one of the many nobodies who practice public autofellatio that is all, one of the new variety of people who think that juvenile humour is funny when in middle age.
I agree. Using that word just makes the person who uses it look stupid.
In an unrelated discussion on another site, somebody said that something "will neither speed up nor retard" progress. I could have kissed him for using the word properly.
Also: "public autofellatio" is my new favorite phrase, Laurentius Rex.
I cannot stand "potty humor"..it is just not funny to me.
I really did turn the television off after a couple of minutes...
ZZzzzzz!!!!
The same way I feel about alot of the Mercury Militia or BMDivas on the Autism parents forums...ZZzzzz!!!!
On another blog site that I blog on, I wrote about my NT daughter....I say that I can handle Autism..it is the "normal" ones that scare me.
