I guess I should ditch my old Agent software and get something that
filters smarter, but I'm too lazy.

I don't filter them all, just the retards. The rest, I pan down the group
before I read and mark as read any in whom I have no interest. Then I close,
re-enter and bingo ... all gone)

The only problem I have -if you can call it that- are the people who
use other people's names.

I know. It is so damned boring working down the list to find they are doing
that. It doesn't put me off reading those people though and it is usually
easy to spot as soon as you open those posts.

lol! Actually, no...I don't get that channel. I was actually
remembering the show from the 1960's when I was a kid and watching it
often. Back then, young teenage me lusted over Agent99, (I dream
of)Genie, Samantha Stevens, and Goldie Hawn (from Laugh-In show). lol!

LOL! No Steve, I do need some decent tv. I've had cable since they

was first to sign up for it.

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just

LOL Yep, l not -l, MeTV is available on local broadcasting stations.
Mine comes out of Savannah, MeTV on MYLC. You do have to have a way to
get the signal. Rabbit ears just don't cut it anymore. At one time my
parents had a console TV/electronic setup like that.

BTW, Steve, those television characters are frozen in time. Barbara
Feldon got stuck in 1970. I guess she still looked pretty good then.

In the states, the word has been tabu for the last 5 years or so. It's quite a change in attitude that has taken place. That's rather silly because typically it refers to a person that is acting stupidly and not someone with a low IQ or learning impaired. A person feeling smug or superior to those less fortunate than themselves and uses the word "retarded" to denigrate those folks would pretty much be a dickhead. My recommendation is that people not be a dickhead.

Ok. Retarded can actually mean a lot of different things.

In this case, for me .. a vicious and spiteful person, constantly going out
to hurt someone. Too fixated to understand their sickness.

Even car engines can be retarded - it they use gasoline/petrol with too low an octane.

Interesting usage. We don't use retarded in that sense but english is ever changing - perhaps we will in the future.

To clarify, in my parlance a mean, spiteful and retarded personality.

Yes, car engines can be retarded as well as many other things. It has a
wide application.

You can also retard a bread that you're making.

It seems that when there is a condition that has a label that label
eventually becomes a pejorative. I earned a degree in Psychology in the
1970s and "mentally retarded" was a term for people with low
intelligence. It was perfectly acceptable as a label for people with low
IQ. In fact, my wife was a special ed teacher and spent several years at
a school whose name included "School for the Trainable Mentally
Retarded". There were organizations the mentally retarded and they used
those words in their titles.

Mentally retarded was a much more general term than some of the
previously used clinical classifications, like moron, simpleton and idiot.

IMO, people are not being dickheads when they use the term retarded
when it applies to someone who is. However, they are dickheads when they
apply the newer, currently PC appellations to people who are not
retarded. I remember a radio show on feminist issues where one of the PC
female guests referred a male who was not PC as being challenged. I
could not help but thing that a currently acceptable term had just been
used as a pejorative, so that term was on it's way to being phased out.

It's a fairly hot word these days. I think the tabu on it is silly. Like Obi Wan Kenobi, if you strike down a word, it becomes more powerful than you can ever imagine.
