    I guess it depends on how you take it. At the time, I took it a Trump being hard on that particular person and not as a blanket implication of disabled persons as a whole. However, I can easi see where others woul
    take it that way, and I didn't think it was appropriate.

    As a disabled person, I see no possible interpretation of that moment *other* than a blanket implication of disabled people as a whole.

    While it is (much moreso now), and definitely was inappropriate.. I'd to know how many people arguing about this as a reason not to vote fo him, have ever called a friend of theirs a ******, or [REDACTED], MR> > > etc. Back in the 80s-90s you heard that crap
    day, as it was very common.

    Yes, it was indeed. I suspect that any folks my age acting appalled ab it now used to say it a lot then.


    you can't say 'that is ********' and stuff like that because people prete MR> be offended. it was used a lot from the 70s-80s when i was growing up.

    No pretending is necessary; that word *is* inherently deeply offensive. It's almost like we've moved on as a society.

    Well, that's because we *have* (moved on). Just like we did in the 30
    years before the discussion above; and like we will have done 30 years
    from now. It's normal. It's change. It's what happens over time.
