They're not the butt of my japes Mathew was, you like to associate the word with your patients not me.

OK so we can't say idiot, moron, retard or any word that describes someone being mentally slow as some people in the world suffer from being mentally slow and all of these terrible words describe this!

If we use these words in the context of people making ________ (fuck know's what word I'm aloud to put here) decisions, people like you will create such a hoo haa about it people with learning disabilities will end up getting offended by believing whatever an over educated prick like you pours in their heads!!

I'm just going to leave this here so it doesn't disappear in a fit of regret once what Chang Hum actually wrote sinks in a little.

*waits for the word police to put the smack down on him*



Not very PC mate. Also Mathew "faggot" Huh?!!!! it's 2012 mate you can't say things like that!

Nothing to do with pc. And I'm very sure the gay community can take care of slurs against them. But the section of the community with severe or worse developmental delays have no one in their corner.

The more you use a word associated with a group of people, the easier it becomes to treat them as sub-human. I'm reminding you that these are all people who should be treated as humans.

You really can't see that? If you can, great! If not, then you're probably also in the group of people I would like to protect so come here and I'll give you a hug.

We'll agree to disagree, I think it's people like you jumping on a moral bandwagon that makes the light hearted use of such words dirty!! (as proven by history) retarded means slow or delay so mentally retarded means mentally slow. The term retarded was introduced to replace terms like idiot, moron, and imbecile because retarded was not a derogatory term.
Moral bandwagon? No, I just don't like people I care about suffering because people like you decide that the condition my patients suffer is one worth branding other people with.

Also I'd like to add that hugging strangers who suffer from medically diagnosed Mental Retardation which you seem keen to associate the figurative use of the word retard is patronizing and offensive. Maybe you are too intellectually disabled (another word for retard) to realize that.

"medically diagnosed Mental Retardation"? Holy crap are you in a 1970's time warp? No only do you not have the basic knowledge to understand what I'm talking about, but I don't think you have any understanding of what you yourself are writing about. If I'm wrong, then tell me about all the people you know with a developmental delay that enjoy being the but of your japes. Otherwise, if you're going to take the piss try and do it in a way that won't harm people that you don't even know.

so everyone has a right to call it what it is, until proven otherwise. If they're wrong, then no harm done

You're a faggot child raping tax evading meth smoking pedophile. Prove me wrong. If I was wrong, no harm done. I mean, it's not like people listen to what others say, that what they say can affect business, and that we have defamation laws for that exact reason. Roll Eyes
+1. Even asking it Luke a question can be harmful. For example, hey Matthew, isn't Blind the guy who was arrested for having child porn and sexually harassing Goat's goats?

Edited original post to foolish however it has been socially acceptable to call someone a retard in the UK for over a year now (so long as they do not suffer from retardation). Hatty in Eastenders made the statement "stop acting like such a retard" in January 2011 prior to the 9pm watershed, in a poll of Sun readers 86% of readers found this acceptable.
Well. I am glad it's ok to victimise any section of society, as long as 86% of other people share your view.

Retard
1. A person with a mental deficiency
2. An offensive term used to refer to someone acting in an irritating or generally stupid way.
.......

Can you post the link to the "dictionary" you used as source? Or did you just make it up?

Do you have single bit of evidence or found similarity in my actions or appearance to make this claim?

I was convinced that I had seen that mask when shown a depiction of a rapist a few nights ago on the local news.. ;p

Although I'm also leaning towards this hypothesis, I don't know for sure that Matt is an insider - but if he is an insider, then I for one believe that he has good intentions with this bet. I simply don't think that pure insider trading represents the type of person that Matt is, and so I choose to trust him, as he has never given me a reason not to.
I was going to state that my sentiments are fairly much the same but I am just not certain at this point. I'll ask myself again in a month and let you know. =)

Well no it is a debt service default.  A technical default would be if there was some convenant attached to the investment.  Hypothetically Pirate agreed to keep 100K BTC in a publicly known address.  If that were the case and he moved the funds he would be in technical default even IF he made all scheduled interest and principal payments.

He failed to pay principal upon demand.
He failed to make interest payments upon demand.

It is a debt service default.


oh, nm. D&T, thanks for setting me straight.

He failed to pay principal upon demand on 08/17
He failed to make interest payments upon demand on 08/19.
He failed to live up to his promise to bitlane for delayed full repayment on 08/21.

It is a debt service default.

BTCST Defaulted on the 29th, get your facts straight.

Default.  Is a failure to honor the terms of a debt obligation.  On 08/17 "investors" attempted to make withdrawals.  The terms of the BTCST were than accounts could be drawn on demand.  Pirate failed to pay out those investors.  He also failed to make any interest payments for the next two weeks.  Under any possible definition of the term BTCST defaults 08/17 when it couldn't honor the terms of the "investment".

Try this on for size.  Don't make your mortgage payment instead call the bank up and saying you are closing the mortgage.  When the bank asks when you will be paying off the balance tell them you are stopping all interest and will pay them when you get the money.  Also be sure to let them know you aren't in default until you tell them you are in default.  Let me know how it works out.

Pirate admitting default 2 weeks after the fact doesn't change the fact that he was already in default the day he couldn't meet the terms of his obligation to creditors.

Its a technical default
