Wasn't being derogatory
editWasn't a pejorative term. Retarded is a medical term. Anyway, I only questioned why downies invariably sport pudding bowl haircuts. That is a question I've pondered since I was a child.--98.236.11.20 (talk) 03:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- The term "downie" is derogatory. If you have a serious question that isn't asked just to stir up controversy, you can ask it at the reference desks. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 11:18, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry frib but downie is the term parents of DS kids are currently using. Check out the DS listserve.
But the question about the bowl haircut remains. Why do the parents of a downie feel that the only haircut option is the pudding bowl? Why? Look at the kid with the drill. Check out that doo! LOL! --98.236.11.20 (talk) 05:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Non-derogatory Proof of Downie

Moving this here, from my Talk page
editsubject was: "Negroid Talk"
Why did you delete my post? The concept I posted needs to be explored scientifically. By deleting it in a knee-jerk reaction, you close the doors to this scientific discussion. --98.236.11.20 (talk) 06:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- It didn't seem to need the exploration that you say it needed, but go ahead and reinstate it. I will refrain this time from reverting. Perhaps others will find merit where I didn't. Bus stop (talk) 06:52, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
