Why this forum section is so retarded?
I like to call people retarded. It's so cute. "Come on, my little retard". :3
Anyone serious about contributing just comes here and sees what you have pointed out and the banal list of topics and leaves. There is something to be said about people creating interesting topics and it would undoubtedly improve the section, but those who are active on the forum tend to stick with the more active sections such as General and New & Politics.
Those who are new to the forum who may have some interesting to post, take a look at this section and assume that what has been posted here is what this sub forum is for and so avoid posting anything different.
So regular members are already jaded and have their discussions in the more active threads, and new users may be wary of introducing something new here, unsure of how it will be received or even if it will attract any attention at all.
The whatsapp is ridiculous, even worse in the teen section where you have guys in their mid to late 20s applying to join in groups with young teenagers in them.

Oh I always know that you're a bit dyslexic :< it's okay buddy, you don't need to be worried
Nope, i read your thoughts
I agree with the op, this section is retarded, and that comes from a fairly retarded person.
And "retarded" is a pretty much normal part of casual vocabulary among many people. Actually, this gave me ab idea about a topic about yhings we commonly use, that are considered offensive. We live in a growingly sensitive society, it was funny for a bit, but it's getting tiresome.
I think most people here are retarded because they all are bored with their usual lives. They start to fight on smallest of issues instead of taking it as a different opinion or something that they don't know. Especially most of young Russians here who suffer from either blondophillia or selfophillia. Jk
My another favourite croat is back! I absolutely agree, people are becoming more sensitive, and I didn't really expect such a reaction to the word 'retarded' I used. :/
The motor in our race car was slightly retarded so we have advanced it two degrees ......
When you call a forum "retarded" you are generalizing all the people in it. The term itself isn't offensive but the way you use it, it is.
-There's no need to check my comprehension skills when I know what were you implying when you created this topic.
Let people do what they want . If they want to waste their time on what's app let them be... no need to put your ideals on other people. Learn to respect and you will be respected.
I was just going to post this. The word "retarded" is offensive. It alienates and excludes people with learning disabilities. It also emphasizes the negative stereotypes surrounding people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
If you mean the word stupid, just use stupid. Don't use offensive slurs.
Hypersensitive people might find this handy...
