Use of 'retarded' as derogatory term is offensive and demeaning

Here is one email I thought I would share.
THE FINAL INSPECTION
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you ?
Have you always turned the other cheek ?
To My Church have you been true?'
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
'Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'

History shows that no country has ever stayed on top indefinatly. We better stop coddling people for the sake of being PC and start getting tough. That b@stard in Ft. Hood should have never been allowed to serve. Racial profiling of Muslims? Tough sht for them, too bad. Kick em off the planes, out of the military and out of the workplace. In fact kick 'em right back across the ocean to their little primitive Middle-East enclave.

The Schitt will hit the fan if it shakes out that the a$$ was a terrorist. I already believe he is. So do many of our friends who are in the military and others who are not.

None of the people you listed were stalking young boys in Washington DC like Republcian Congressman Mark Foley did who is nothing more then pure scum and should be hung. Oh and by the way YOUR A IDIOT,LOL! I wonder if Republcian Senator Larry Craig is still tapping his foot at the Airports trying to get a Hot Dog Lunch ! I wonder if this freak drug addict Rush Limbaugh is hanging with this freak Foley is South Florida? They probaly choke each other chickens! Two fruitcakes. I'm surprised they don't work for Walt Disney Company !

LOL!! I wish I could.

On another note:
T & G-I don't think I can handle this current discussion too well. It needs to be addressed, though. I would hate to lose this thread to these people.
