I understand your point, and I don't want to derail this thread into a discussion on language. However, saying that introducing more governmental regulation is going "full retard" (even if the idea behind it is actually true) is reductive and detracts from your point.
This is not an issue of political correctness. Saying "not go full shit-head" falls into the same category. Please treat your opposition with respect, even if you disagree with them.
- snitko 12y agoOh, ok, sorry. I never realized "retard" is super offensive in that way. It didn't sound like a very strong word to me, so I apologize.
- vram22 12y agoFunny :-) Guessing, but I think snitko may have actually meant "full retard" in the sense of "retard" meaning to slow down or apply the brakes, rather than meaning "dumb" or "mentally retarded".
