Captchas and Items

i'm sorry if it came off that way, but you don't know me, so please refrain from using the term 'retarded' to describe me. it's not only rude to me but also to people with mental and learning disabilities. it's a derogatory term. i don't care if you use it somewhere else, that's not my problem, but don't use it towards me, thank you.

You have to be 18 and up for this site. If you cannot do simple adding and subtracting, there is only one possibility, you are retarded. I'm not using it derogatorily.

that's not true. i can have difficulty with math and not be retarded. there is not only one possibility. what do you know? maybe i never focused in math. maybe i was never taught math. maybe some psychological barrier has prevented me from ever doing anything mathematical. maybe i have issues with my left brain. just because logical thinking isn't my forte, and i have problems doing math quickly and in my head, does NOT mean i am, have, or ever will be retarded or any other term related.

Do you even know what retarded means?
Issues with learning something, delayed learning, issues with knowing something that is normal for a certain age.
You're being very rude to retarded people saying they have to have something wrong with them. All it means is that you are slow. And in this case, slow in learning mathematics.

when did i say they had to have something wrong with them? i have a lot of friends with learning and mental disabilities, look, i'm sorry if i'm coming off rude or hostile, i just dislike that you called me retarded, that's all. i have always had trouble doing math in my head, and i could never do it quickly. i have top grades in math, mind. all i said was i'm poor at math, not that i couldn't do it.

You didn't come off rude, I just thought you said that you cannot do simple math. I didn't know that you can only not do it in your head. I see now that you wrote that before and I missed it, I am truly sorry. Let us go out separate ways and forgot this ugly predicament.
You aren't retarded, and again, I'm sorry.
