FairWarning Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 When did midget become a thing?

kovacsbar Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 FML I call Dunkee a midge every day. I'd like to apologize to my friends, family, teammates and Dunkee. It is not who I am as a man, husband or role model. I pledge to do better and as a token of my mission I will donate $1.67 to the Wizard of Oz small actors guild for every time I use the M word. Thank you for your understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTiger Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 This is just a thought. You know I like you, more or less, so don't take it personally. When you say the phrase social justice warrior (SJW), you are admitting that there have been (and still are) injustices to do something about. ANYWAY:Out of the 1,000,000 times I have heard or used the word "midget", only a handful have been in a medical term way. Most were as an insult. Idiot, moron, and imbecile were just medical terms at first, and became insults. Hysterical? Medical term. Misogynistic medical term, but it was one. It is used in a negative way now. Mongoloid? Yep. There are more, but I don't remember them all offhand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTiger Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 They would have a field day with a Brock thread.If I were able to do it, there would be a Brock containment thread. The ultimate merge. Put all that shit in one thread. Make it easier to find (or avoid). That's the first step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left controls the narrative only if you let them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m just Archie Bunker. The SJW part comes in when a person has to make a stance condemning it immediately else you’re one of them. Heck, I didn’t know Baker Mayfield was shirt?

As for midget, nothing wrong with it at all. Sky Lo Lo, and Hornswoggle were/are Midget Wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Lo Lo, and Hornswoggle were/are Midget Wrestlers. I look at it a different way - they look for anything to take a social stance on, just to stand out. Most never leave their computer, but are offended. I can think for myself, I love to make fun of them because they take themselves far too seriously at times.

I don't look at supporting something that is in tune with your beliefs is "looking" for a cause. It's who some folk are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kovacsbar Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Anti label crowd better than the label crowd. They are probably helping someone. Slapping a label on someone don't help shit. A misguided empath is still an empath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
