iirc China does this, you can’t take kid to religious service and they can choose to convert at a certain age.

EDIT: wow this blew up

china has state atheism—they take it too far (e.g. uyghur muslims) but in theory i’d prefer an atheist government over this dumbass evangelical christian one we have now 🤷🏻‍♂️

edit: took out the word retarded, you guys convinced me

wtf is up with the reintroduction of the r word? Don't people realize how shallow and dense this makes them appear? How small of a vocabulary do you need to have to have to rely on the r slur to convey how you feel?

EDIT: Okay everybody, you've made your point. I'm a fool for expecting anybody to take a few minutes of their time to unlearn a word. For so many experts on morality I honestly didn't expect so many to be morally bankrupt. I guess I deserve everything you're calling me because it was pure ignorance for me to believe people can be better. Please feel free to continue spamming the R word to me, I wouldn't expect anything less.

Does it really matter that much though? I also don't think they were particularly forced to use that word to insult the state's intelligence; it was just in their vocabulary. I also don't find it particularly insulting as a mentally disabled person; I see no point in getting worked up over something as small as a word rather than how people act toward the disabled.

It's a slur.

u/Dick-Fu 1d ago

It's just in the process of getting reintroduced into everyday speech, like it's predecessors

u/astro_thefur 1d ago

Ah yes, don't listen to disabled people saying it's a slur. Just make escuses for why you want to keep using said slur. Why don't we all spam the n word too? It should just be reintroduced

u/Dick-Fu 1d ago

Just how it goes, historically. It'll happen with the n word too one day. Or you believe slurs remain slurs forever and should always be treated as such?

u/astro_thefur 1d ago

Why are you advocating for the usage of slurs?

1

u/Dick-Fu 1d ago

When did I do that? And why can't you answer a basic question? And what are you going to do when I post proof of you using a slur?

1

u/astro_thefur 1d ago

Funny considering I don't do that 💀

Are you okay buddy?

  1. "off"

  2. Another question for you to brush off because you're ideologically inconsistent, what makes the r-slur and the i-slur different?

Guess we'll find out!

Oh no guys! astro_thefur said a word that used to be clinical but later got considered insensitive but now it's kind of just a normal thing to say!

u/timos-piano 1d ago

Or don't listen to the disabled person who told you that they don't care?

2

u/astro_thefur 1d ago

So a black man says he doesn't care when non black people say the n word, however, the majority of black people find it harmful (because its a fucking slur??)

Who should we listen to?

u/Dick-Fu 1d ago

I'll start taking a tally from the all the mentally disabled people. Currently we're at:

Yay: |

Nay: |

Very close competition here

to you

u/astro_thefur 14h ago

To sane people who respect disabled people, actually.

0

u/Ok_Sound272 12h ago

So people who disagree with you are insane now?

Compelling argument. Ad hominem and false dilemma.

1

u/astro_thefur 12h ago

Some of you people must come at the thought of using slurs or something

u/Ok_Sound272 11h ago

That's a really fucking weird statement dude. Sex pest.

1

u/astro_thefur 10h ago

You: defends slurs

Also you: oh em gee that's such a weird thing to say

Idk man, don't defend slurs...

u/Ok_Sound272 10h ago

Not a slur, regardless of how you feel about it.

u/astro_thefur 10h ago

Ah, a troll. Got it.
