Of course she won't criticize Rush Limbaugh! Funny how she didn't bring the subject up when he used the word.

Yes, that would be good use of "retard". Congratulations on having a Model T and being so proud to use the word "retard" in an appropriate manner. I'm glad that you don't have anyone in your family who is mentally retarded. Consider yourself lucky that you have a perfect family and also for having the Model T..you should be able to make a lot of money on it after you get that spark fixed.

elin...as for the reason for the post, I don't feel that your expertise on mechanics is really relevant but I'm sure you felt good posting it. I guess it made you feel "un-retarded" in your family that has some people that don't have good "waling around sense". I'd have do say that I wouldn't begin to know how to go about "waling around" myself...so I suppose that I am retarded in that extent. As for your second rambling post, I think you could have left off the rest of it after you mentioned the word "courtesy" because that is really all that ones of us who have mentally challenged family members really ask that you truly appreciate.
Tenn...I'm happy to hear your story on your nephew...he sounds like a very special person.
JOY...I'm not one who looks for a reason to be offended, but the mentally challenged hold a special place in my heart.

In a few more years, when "mentally challenged" is no longer acceptable, what do we say then? "Retarded" isn't a dirty word. It's all in how you use it. Definition: slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress. It isn't wrong to use as a description for people who fit the definition.

When starting a Model T, I shall continue to retard the spark.
