Actually, no. More people need to say what they are thinking to counter this PC baloney. All we have done is allow feelings to over ride truth. Thus the Retard has no clue they really are................... And yea, I threw that term out there to make a few on here uncomfortable. There is PC baloney and then there is just plain crassness. Your use of the word “Retard” is crass and unnecessary. Not sure who you are trying to rattle with the use of it since your arch enemy and sparring partner has passed. That word should NEVER be used!

www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/24/h1n1.obama/index.html“Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” With the April 2009 H1N1 pandemic affecting millions of Americans, Obama didn’t react until November 2009 with a state of emergency.

i wouldn`t believe anything coming from Iran, china or north korea. Evidence suggests that the virus passed through an intermediate animal before infecting humans. Similarly, the SARS virus jumped from bats to civets (small, nocturnal mammals) on its way into people, whereas MERS infected camels before spreading to humans.

Thank you for perfectly illustrating my point.
Taking a descriptive word and turning it into a word which is verboten is no different than burning a book or placing speech restrictions upon your fellow citizens. The last I knew, your comfort is not Constitutionally protected, and especially now, using censor tactics upon one side simply allows the other side to run roughshod. We see this every day in the words of the left, virtually nothing is off limits while our side recoils in horror over the use of retard. Got news for you, unless you grow up and put on your big girl panties, you won't have a country worth living in much longer.............
So think before you shoot the messenger, Lord knows he is trying to dodge the bullets of the real bad guys who aren't afraid to kill your rights.
And no, the remark was not directed at anyone, but some sure took offense, think about that.

I'm not much into conspiracy theories myself, but this virus, if what we read is to be believed, does not act like other natural viruses. If we cannot trust the words of those countries, why should we trust the evidence they present any more than their words? Like I said, I am not willing to freak out just yet, but this one is certainly being treated 1000 percent differently than any previous outbreak, not only in this country, but countries who have shown losing millions of citizens does not phase them ( China ). Wash your hands and keep your head on a swivel......... it wouldn't hurt to have a couple of weeks worth of everything you need on hand just for good measure.

Thanks to those that spoke out. So many do not understand how the use of the word relates to the continued bullying of a segment of population. One who often cant defend themselves. A person who continues to use it, just because they can, to show that they have they right to do so, is the biggest perpetuator of bullying. So, the next time you see a student bullying that child who can’t defend themselves, or that veteran who suffered a TBI from an explosion, applaud these people who are showing the world that it’s ok to use a denigrating group specific word because it’s your right.
I think most educated people have come to understand that you cannot use the word to scorn or belittle in conversation without inferring that anyone with special needs is lacking and as such undeserving of respect. I commend those that comprehend this.

Thanks for posting that link. Probably the best, most logical thing I have seen written about it. I don't see anything though that suggests a accident...........

it is getting worse and spreading quicker now. Part of the increase in spread is the greater testing, but yes, there is virtually no way to stop the spread, just try and limit it.
