I may have to leave this other message board I go on.
Someone just used the word "cripple" in a totally non-ironic sense. As in referring to a hypothetical person with a disability as a "cripple".

:grr:

As in:

"of course being gay is the hardest thing you have had to go through, but what about a cripple im sure they think their struggle is worse than yours."

:wtf:

1. If its just one person, call him or her out on it.
If it becomes the norm, then it might be time to find a better bunch to hang out with.
