Sweden and Finland to apply for NATO membership in May.

that won’t lead to increased hostilities lol.

Russia doesn’t have the military to start invading Sweden and Finland while they are actively undertaking an invasion of Ukraine. Nor do they have the ability to go toe to toe with the US war machine. 

Which makes me think there could be a possibility they launch nuclear strikes. I mean if their back is up the wall will they just concede defeat? Who knows. This is definitely very scary times. Need real leadership steering the ship right now telling these countries to pump the breaks and we’re not going to let them into nato, not the senile brain dead retard in office right now. 

I'm surprised people still use that word and also that this site doesn't censor it.

this site can certainly choose to censor the word if they wish.

can’t say I’m surprised there are pussies crying over words today. that’s like 99.97% of the world in the US today. oh no! He said words I don’t like! I need a safe space and a blanket! MOMMMMMY!

Just edit your post please, and that'll be the end of it.

now thats funny

Yes

I don't disagree w/ the sentiment of his post.  Mentally incompetent is perfect.  It's just one of those things that we used to be able to say and now cannot.  I'm sure my parents and grandparents said a lot of things in their time that would be considered racist or insensitive today.  I used to say that particular word a lot growing up along with some other things that I can't say now.  

These things change over time, and I'm not a fan of digging up old Twitter posts etc. to prove someone said something years ago, when it may have been socially acceptable to do so.  I just think we've reached the point on this one that it's time to move on to saying something else.

I don't want to get too far off topic here, but I think the reason it is inappropriate now is that it has transformed from a word into a slur, which unfortunately happens over time sometimes.  It basically means then that even people who use the word for its original intent are now using it as a slur, or at least perceived to be doing that.  It's why things get cringey sometimes when talking to your parents or grandparents.  I know we had a great word for a bundle of firewood or female dog 100 years ago, but it has evolved.  A word's meaning isn't frozen in time and will evolve as the culture evolves.  

I get to decide that.  I don't even have to sweat over it- I can just have a word that pops up replaced with another word or a phrase. 

Easily, actually. 

However. 

I believe in free speech beyond fault.  I embrace the other nine rights recognized by the constitution too.  And being so, I don't censor here.  I don't even censor south of here, and y'all should see some of the things posted there....

I figure a man says something that's his prerogative... yet so is the damage he does to his reputation.  On a forum as like a social media account (unless you use your reap name) reputation is all you have to stand on.  I've tarnished my own here several times bit that is what it cost me to share my thoughts. 

Aint no censoring gonna happen... but neither will there be leniency for those who deserve the responses they've elicited. 

Edited to add: this is my position on the matter.  There are two more here that have weight equal to mine or doubling mine of I find myself alone.  I may not agree with them (though we've never butted heads) but I'll be mature and honorable of they decide against my own council.
