Guess that's where we differ cos I personally dont see the difference.
Yes. I'd like to know the difference.
Sure. This is my take.
To me, a nazi is:
- A German member of Adolf Hitler's political party (NSDAP)
- A member of the Nazi Party (NSDAP); One who subscribes to or advocates Nazism or a similarly fascist, racist, or anti-Semitic ideology
- Relating to or consistent with or typical of the ideology and practice of Nazism or the Nazis
- Racist or anti-semetic
- One who subscribes to or advocates Nazism or a similarly fascist, racist, or anti-Semitic ideology.
I do not believe militant naturals, militant relaxed heads, or ANYONE who is not (or was not) an actual Nazi should be referred too as a "nazi" unless their ideologies or actions are "relating to or consistent with or typical of the ideology and practice of Nazism or the Nazis," particularly meaning they are murderers and racial purgers (I am pointing to this because in my opinion it is the most egregious part of calling an individual innocent of these crimes a nazi.)
In other words, "As the actual Nazis practiced genocide and murdered millions of people in cold blood, this flippant use is sometimes considered to be offensive and in very poor taste. It is sometimes used to offend out of anger or intentionally." I am quoting because I could not have worded it better.
My definitions were taken from a "define:nazi" search in google and
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Nazi because they are both timesavers.
To me, a retard (or someone who is retarded) is:
- An individual relatively slow in mental or emotional or physical development
- Delayed in development; Having mental retardation; Under the influence of alcohol
- Person with learning disabilities
In the context in which it was used in this thread, I believe it was used to particularly connote (in addition to the above):
- Idiot, moron, imbecile
- Mentally deficient person
- A stupid person, or one who is slow to learn
In my opinion, they are both terrible insults, though the connotations and offenses that arise from these insults ARE distinctly different.
If this does not seem to be an issue with you ladies, or you do not see the implicit difference, "to each his own," as an earlier poster said, though I hope that what I am trying to impart is clear.
As I said, IMO, the first insult is distinctly more egregious.
ETA: I found my definitions for retard through the same means.
And, I do not believe all insults are made equal.
and ive discussed many natural beneficial products which they are now using. Never been natural myself, i ust help as much as I can and give them posts from this site, I dont feel the need to tell them what to do with their hair or make them feel like "self haters" like mant naturals have done to me
.
Relaxer retards vs Nappy nazi
...Once you get down to the mud, dont start complaining about the ugly smell
... Peace my lovely ladies
