HAHA I cant believe how much this argument over the word spastic has gotten out of hand. Growing up I have always used the word for someone who spazzes out meaning they flip over some stupid thing. That is what half of the people do in these forums and you all need to let it go. Do a search for the word spastic in the forums and you will find that a couple other TAs have used this word. Are we flaming them for it? No. LET IT GO. Geez we are such bitches. I thought trance was all about love and peace. The vibe in these forums sure doesnt reflect it.

OK. I can't shut up about this anymore. The word "spastic" is, at least in Denmark - and according to my dictionary, a medical term used to diagnose people with a muscular diorder that causes them to spasm. So when somebody uses that word it is not automatically an offense to diabled people.
I agree that Palivar's use of it AND the picture was on the strong side - just like jokes about AIDS, nazism and other sensitive subjects are - but if you don't find this kind of humour amusing just let it go. After all Paul I remember you wishing all gay people should go to jail in that old "king of the world"-thread, so you shouldn't be the one pointing fingers at people for racism and other kinds of xenophobias. |
Listen, here in Scotland there used to be a charity called "The Scottish Council For Spastics". 6 or so years ago it's name was changed (I can't remember what it was changed to) because the word "spastic" nowadays is only used as an insult.

Okay, I can see Palivar did not mean to offend anybody in that thread. But I find the word in which he used very offensive, maybe in whatever country he is from it's still used as it's proper meaning, but I find this word extremely offensive.
Plus it's not only this, these sound files are more than annoying. Check out this thread and you'll see what I mean:
