    Why are we no longer referring to people as “idiots” and “retards” and “cripples?”

    Is that also just a distraction so that people can feel like they’re doing something? Are you, personally, just sticking with the old terminology?

      I use whatever terminology is current, because, like I said, it basically makes no difference. Why upset people for no reason?
