Atomixwx Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 1 minute ago, Itstrainingtime said: As a proud uncle of a young adult who has an intellectual disability, this post saddens me. When will we move on from this kind of offensive language? I will admit. Use of that word is probably the one behaviour that I have struggled to change the most as I have aged. Knowing the negative connotations of it, the harm the use of it comes to so many, and the knowledge that other, less harmful terms exist, I still struggle to not use it. I even did in response to the other post, even though I know it's wrong. What's worse is I have friends and a fiance who work directly with developmentally disabled folks and they're great. I would never call them that to their face, but I use the word to describe other crap all the time, even though I know it's wrong. I have much work to do. Hopefully someday I find where that word is no longer a part of my vocabulary. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someday I find where that word is no longer a part of my vocabulary. I remember in 8th grade I said a derogatory word during a football game. My coach took me aside and literally yelled and hit my shoulder pads about how it was wrong. Sometimes we just need a jolt to eliminate things that used to be common but we know are not right. Your heart is in the right place. Try to think of embarrassment when it enters your brain and soon enough it never will. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someday I find where that word is no longer a part of my vocabulary. I'm far, far from perfect. The word is one that was commonplace years ago and I certainly used it more than once. I feel compelled to share this. I was at work years ago, 23 years old and far too immature for my age. I'm an only child and struggled to bond with people growing up. I got along with everyone but true friends of no one. I was awkward and used humor as an embarrassing attempt to "win" friends since I didn't really know how to. At any rate, at work there was a group of about 6 or 8 of us in the break room and one in the group was very large. I thought I would make a joke and see if I would get laughs as a way to "fit in" and gain popularity. Well, I seized the moment and let my joke fly. And you know what? Almost everyone did laugh. One did not. And as the tears poured down her cheeks, I learned the biggest lesson in my entire life, and one that 36 years later I have never forgotten. Words matter. They can do a lot of things, good and bad. My words crushed that woman in about 3 seconds. I vowed to never speak like that again. And now? I do harassment training with our workforce. And I share that story with every group. I don't want to forget. I want it to be a constant reminder that my words matter. I thank both of you for your honesty and your heartfelt words. Sometimes in life it's much harder to do or say the right thing. I know that first hand. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPC currently has a MRGL risk for parts of the Lower Susq Valley and Western Poconos - east to the Delaware River. Can see this being increased to a SLGT with a bump from 2 t 5% TOR risk with later issuances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
