I have no idea what the rest of the nonsense you posted is supposed to mean.
Retarded does not mean abnormal. Why would you assume someone meant something completely different with the words they used than what those words mean? How do you make "retarded" mean abnormal? To retard is to slow down.

"To slow down" - Yes that is an acceptable definition.
If we had 1000 tops spinning and one of them was slower than the other 9999 (or retarded) it could also be consider not normal (or abnormal) in comparison to all the other little tops.

Let me ask you this. If a woman is infertile and incapable of bearing a child, would you consider it to be appropriate to call that woman pregnantly-retarded? Because saying such a thing is within the same realm as how KDM called homosexuals genetically-retarded.

Yeah, that is THE definition.

Having cancer is not normal either but that does not change the word cancer to mean abnormal. Albinos are not normal, that does not mean that Albino means abnormal. Retarded does not mean abnormal, just because something being retarded is abnormal. Having 11 fingers is abnormal. Having 11 fingers will make you abnormal. That does not change the meaning of polydactyl to abnormal. How do you even trick your mind into making that make sense?
On my street, most houses are white. There is one blue house. That blue house is abnormal. Blue does not mean abnormal. Retarded does not mean abnormal. Sorry if using words correctly really messes some of you up.edit on 29-12-2010 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)

So what you're saying is that there is a sexual orientation pyramid?
And where are you on this pyramid?
Oh, well... guess that's.... convenient.
Feel better about yourself yet?

yes that is a correct assumption, i am attacking people for misunderstanding me becuase i was the victim of this in the first instance and every other reply has been the same directed at me , also if i point out that a person is attacking me for words i did not say then it is not me who has the problem, i will go and read a dictionary when you can actualy read the whole thread instead of puting in comments when you dont know all the facts
get it together man

What is the point you are trying to make? Are you upset that I didn't use the word abnormal the way you want me to? What does any of this have to do with the subject the poster brought up in that if all the human race were gay we would fade away!?
Beings you are a fan of using words correctly maybe you should re-word your post to not read "That is THE definition" as if to imply there is only one definition.

P.S. If you have 1000 and you subtract 1, you do not get 9999. Math can be as fun as English.edit on 29-12-2010 by Sinnthia because: (no reason given)

I have already adressed this and coincidentally in that post I predicted that you would continue babbling on about it as if you had a point in the first place.
When has homosexuality EVER posed a threat to the population of ANY species of ANYTHING?
Because it has saved THOUSANDS if not MILLIONS of populations of different species of animals stay in check, and humans!edit on 29-12-2010 by Brood because: (no reason given)

Let that serve as proof as to how little I care about your opinion. (the fact that I didn't read/care what you say you've already addressed)

Obviously you confused yourself with all these crazy variables. Let me show you what is wrong with your "logic"
If we hadd 1000 tops spinning one of them was a different color than the other 999 (or blue) it could also be considered not normal (or abnormal) in comparison to all the other little tops.
Now I just used your same logic. So if retarded means abnormal, so does blue. Get it?

LMAO!!!
OK, read SLOWLY.
I never said I WAS MESSING ANYONE UP. I said using words correctly seems to be messing you up. So, when you respond to something I never said, tell me. Does that prove or disprove my assetion that words are confusing you?
Seriosuly. If you want to defend your use of words incorrectly, at least respond to what I actually wrote, showing you can read words.
What is the point you are trying to make? Are you upset that I didn't use the word abnormal the way you want me to? What does any of this have to do with the subject the poster brought up in that if all the human race were gay we would fade away!?
No it was the word "retarded" I had an issue with. My point is that you can find all kinds of stupid ways to pretend retarded means something other than what it actually does. That just makes you wrong though.
Beings you are a fan of using words correctly maybe you should re-word your post to not read "That is THE definition" as if to imply there is only one definition.
No, not really.
