Ear Gauging Rant

[roberth]

You bet you did. My wifes grandma was a care taker for 40+ years for mentally handicapped adults. Never once saw them with an ear gauge. Show some fucking class, dip shit.

Taking this quite seriously aren't you. It is a common expression and you've made your feelings known. Thank you for participating.

And thank you for showing your ignorance by this using "common expression". For most people this expression isn't, well common.

So what are you saying? We should all specialize in cosmetic earlobe surgery so we can make millions in about 15 years?

Stop the fighting. His words may be offensive to some, but that's why we get the ability to go check other threads. Let's just move along if you find it offensive.

I had mine at 1/2", you can barely tell. Mine did not take 15 years though, prob 1-2 months.

So would it be cool then if they wore a live 12 shotgun shell in the hole?? I don't get it either.

Saw some fool on the trail.

Are you a fuckin' retard? What are you going to do when you're 40? That is all.

Retards huh? True class. Btw I don't have my ears gauged, never have, never will. Not even an earring. Just hate that word. Dip shit.

I am only replying to this thread because of my respect for both of you.

I have worked in the human services field for the last 10 years, working primarily with people who are diagnosed with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I see this everyday. "Retard" is in the dictionary with many definitions. Doctors still to this day use the word in identifying a diagnosis. MR stands for mental retardation; however, over the last 50 years people have used it so much in a negative context that is insulting to those who are diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability.

It has become a part of our language to call someone "retard" to describe their stupidity even if not directed to someone that is diagnosed as such. Many people do not realize how negative it is to use the word and those that work with or close to someone that is developmentally or intellectually disabled often time finds that it is so offensive they just become angered and do not make a "healthy" redirection or explain to the person using it as they might not understand how negative it is.

I believe using the word "retardation" such as "I had to retard my timing on my truck." is still okay.


There are also many people who are not diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability that are stupid, just called them dumb ass.

And what if you're tied up and forced to let someone have sex with you ear.... you're going to regret that you never did it.

Sorry, that was the best I could come up with and still join the conversation.
