__________ is a mental disorder

[Angstrom]

If you call a child stupid the whole time its' growing up, guess what happens most of the time? that child believes they are stupid.

It works with adults too.

Words have power.

It's a tricky business . Because you still have to correct them when they are being stupid

I have a mental disorder. It makes me f*cking mental when I see idiots in the emergency room tap tap tapping away on those stupid devices while they wait to see a doctor. if you're lucid enough to play on your f*cking phone, then what you have is not really an emergency situation. Quit being a puss.

People have a proclivity to talk, now instead of doing it orally they text. W.T.F. is so important that it takes 24/7 to get it all done?

*AHEM*

Keep in mind I'm talking about adults. When it comes to kids it's a different story for obvious reasons.

I presume you didn't make it that far in my post in your rush to "correct" me?

By Order Of The Emperor: New York City has warned landlords, employers and businesses they could be running afoul of the law by purposely calling a transgender woman "him" or "Mr." when she prefers a female title and pronoun, or by barring her from using a women's restroom

Would Shiny pony fluffing be a mental disorder?

 

[CDNBear]

Yes, Flossy's fluffing of a pony, is a mental disorder and a form of porn.

 

[DaSleeper]

I was thinking the same thing of you when I read that. Hmmm, interesting.

perspective is everything.

You can correct someone without making them feel worthless and stupid.

Conformity experiments. Group influence.

oops forgot to remove the s. gah.

If I have to correct someone, they are worthless and stupid, and should feel so.

The hope being that they won't do it again.

wow, that's cold. I see the grinch has stolen your heart. Too bad.

Nope. I've been this way forever.

It's why people like the Usual Suspects hate me. I hurt their feels.

And it's not "too bad", it's a public service I do out of the kindness of my heart. Trying, albeit futile, to make them better people.

usually the motive to correct someone is to make yourself look intelligent at their expense. The exception being smartazz know it alls who need to be knocked down a peg or two.

 

[CDNBear]

Usually. Sometimes people are just so stupid, I feel compelled to correct them before their stupidity infects others.

And the latter, I do a lot of that to.

 

[DaSleeper]

I'd rather have someone tell me straight off if I'm wrong on something, than *****foot around or tell me with a hypocritical smile on their face!

I would whole heartedly agree while others say "there is no cure for stupid".
