I agree with PaulS regarding the "Safety Nazi."

I can think of no better way to cull all the really stupid people who clutter the blogosphere and byways of the US and the world.

Imagine, some complete dolt decides "I don't need no damned gubbamint man atellin' me what I cain't do. If I wanna build a house out of used beer cans and oriented strandboard, then by God I will do it!!!"

Along comes a tornado/hurricane/flood/heavy gust of wind and the gene pool is a tiny bit better. Let the retards do what they will. In fact, let's encourage them. The more they knock themselves out of the game through retarded building methods, the better all of our lives will be.

Maybe we should give them all lots of C4 to play with while we're at it.

Can we somehow attach the type of lawyer that usually exploits defends them to the fate of their clients?

I would agree with your comments if you would simply substitute "self-righteous pseudo-intellectuals" for "retards."

Speaking of the word "retards," it seems this term has had a resurgence recently. I think I've heard or seen this word used more often in the past six months than since, oh I'd say, ninth grade shop class (and believe me, that's many moons ago). I'm fairly certain that this says more about the people who use this word, though, than about any members of some subject pool to which these people attempt to refer.

*ahem*

All of you have no idea what you are talking about... "Retard" is so passé. These days everyone knows the word is "fucktard". Get with the times! And I hope you aren't "calling for any human decency that [I] may have in [my] pseudo-intellectually mind of [mine]"? Are you? Because, then I'll just reference to the point made by the comment above this one. =]

At the ris^h^h^h certainty of dragging this thread even further into the slime ...

Link to the alt.tasteless records on the subject.

I believe the '96 origin predates its wider use as a term of abuse.

Cherenkov,

There's a great house in Houston on Malone St. called the beercan house. A folk artist put away a couple of six packs a day and then flattened the cans and used them as aluminum siding and great decorations. I'm sure you can find it if you google "folk art, Houston" Its a great piece. Its survived several hurricanes, and is owned by The Orange Show foundation.
