Had a thought yesterday, and this is probably as good a thread for it as any.
Is it possible for a psychopath to be an "cunt"?
Is it possible for somebody with Down Syndrome to be a "moron"?
Is it possible for somebody with Asperger's to be a "asshole"?
Is it possible for somebody with bipolar to be "nutty as a fruitcake"?
Is it possible for somebody with an IQ of 80 to be an "idiot"?
Is it possible for a pathological liar to be "full of shit"?
Is it possible for an addict to be "irresponsible"?
etc etc etc
Seems to me that once somebody is labelled as being "defective" all is forgiven, and yet in what way are non-labelled/diagnosed neural patterns which result in maladaptive thought/behaviour any more deserving of hostile and/or derogatory terminology? Beats me...
