: This was inspired by something someone said in the thread below ("you know what I hate?")
:
: I don't understand why people use the phrase "Hot water heater"....honestly....It's the dumbest thing...EVER. It implies that all hot water needs to be heated. Does it?? No, not at all. There is plenty of hot water in the world that is used after being heated ONLY once.
: Besides, I figure if people can refer to water heaters as "hot water heaters", then referring to those people as a "retarded" person shouldn't be looked down upon.
: In my opinion, it's simply an idiosyncrasy...like referring to a person's zoophilliac tendencies...callign[sp] someone a goat or chicken fucker.
: And please, no responses talking about how goats or chickens aren't screwed to the level that stupid people are. I am a fairly well educated person, and I fully understand ignorance and it's tendencies to strike people in wife-beaters and NASCAR races.
