You don’t think he woke up? I call bullshit, he knew she was in his bed the entire time.

It's entirely possible he did not wake up. People can and often do stay asleep when another person gets or out of the bed.

Regardless, he woke up.

Assuming all of this is true, he had the opportunity to clarify their relationship or continue to awkwardly lead her on. He chose the latter.

He keeps taking a literally retarded girl on dates, she went into his bed last night, and when he woke up he didn't clearly and in no uncertain terms, make it clear to her they were just friends and that crawling into a man's bed just aint appropriate in said cases.

You're the one who said she had down syndrome... just because modern society has moved away from using retarded, doesn't mean it wasn't an actual designation not long ago... plenty of people still use it... shit, I'm 35 and it was still used when I was in school.

Me too. I've seen it on official documentation from public schools.

Used to be a way of describing people with downs, not an insult.

Instead now we play by the liberal "no-no words" playbook.

I said she was literally retarded.

You turned around and said I called her a "retard."

It's very apparent what you are doing.

Just curious, if this is a troll thread, why do you care so much?  Its kinda funny at times.  At other times its just a story to see where it goes.  

There are actual threads in GD that cause division and do harm here.  I do not see what harm this is doing.  If it is real, the state of Texas says this girl can make her own decisions, so its legal.  

I am just reading along for the entertainment and you are here really angry with an axe to grind and I cant figure out why?  Especially when there is so much good you could do in other threads that are actually evil and doing harm, those threads want you, those threads need you.  

Just sayin...

Interesting.  Its not my choice in life.  Not for me.  But its also not like he is reporting wanting to take advantage of her and kinda seems caring.

And who knows, its nuanced at times that makes me think it could be real.  At times I think nope.  I dunno.

What I do know is if two consenting adults want to be together and enjoy each others company, they aren't robbing banks, murdering people, or torturing kids, why is it my business.  

I will leave it at that.  Not trying to come off to hard as a defender, but there is a certain amount of HOW MUCH DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN LIBERTY going on here?

I mean do you believe in liberty?  Your post kinda has a question mark on that.

So downs people are lesser people?  And educated adults who arent breaking the law cant choose for themselves what makes them happy?

I actually looked it up early in the thread.  State of Texas says its legal.  Its not everyday, but why do people need to intrude here.  if you dont like and its legal its a personal thing isnt it?

Did I say that? If that's what you gathered, it's not what I intended.

It's not that mentally handicapped are lesser beings, it's the potential for that person being taken advantage of that worries people.
