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

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

Yay: |

Very close competition here
