Alright, let's do this in reverse- what do you think my answer is?
One thing (and I thought you'd have figured this out) is they will ask a question, and if they don't like the answer, they'll ask it again and again until they get an answer they like. That could take decades (in my case).

Now he's blaming both you and me while holding himself blameless. Weird!
Most college-educated adults understand a communication loop. Others might be familiar with Sun Tzu's comments on leadership and communication.
“If words of command are not clear and distinct, if orders are not thoroughly understood, then the general is to blame. But, if orders are clear and the soldiers nevertheless disobey, then it is the fault of their officers.”
Communication loop / The process of communication
Every bit of message communicated undergoes a certain process involving more than one person. Nobody communicates to a vacuum or wilderness. Communication is considered effective if it receives the desired result, response or reaction. All Communications are related to some context. In any...

In case you missed the original question, Maze had asked me "Is calling people retards peaceful Scott?" Maze has spent some time discussing things with me, as have you. The answer to anyone who knows me should have been obvious, so I just said "I think we can agree that we both know the answer to that already." What I had -hoped- for was that she wouldn't ask me questions to which she should already know the answer to. Alas, it appears she didn't get the message.

You think it's okay to call people retards just like Trump.

He can't bring himself to say it. Interesting
“Retard”
That’s an amazing over use of abomination, but it’s boring.
I saw that article, they buried the lead to get longer views.
Not being a Christian, I won't try to speak for what standards they employ, but I certainly agree that Trump's action here -should- be an embarassment for Americans who don't want their President to act like he's in an anonymous poster in an internet forum.
Some people have serious reading and comprehension issues. Wasting time on these two is fruitless.
They are obviously haters, with constant accusations and attacks of pedophilia, without ANY evidence Trump is a pedophile.
They also believe a woman who claims rape, yet doesn't even know what year this "attack" has occurred. I say she's a greedy liar.
The coward started attacking and accusing my mother of pathetic sexual episodes the minute he came here. When I requested he say his shit to my face, his knees buckled and he would hide in a police station. Have you ever met a Marine who was as spineless and cowardice as Dutch?
The other one, well she just smells of camel shit...

Agreed. It appears his personality is closely matched with Trump and his MAGAts; angry, blames others, never takes responsibility.
He's not a "the buck stops here" man. Sad.

Agreed. What's more is that Trump dances around being a Christian but never actually claims to be one much less act like one. Weird!
Lack of courtesy is a major problem in my world.
There are times when I agree with things that Maze and Dutch say, but I do expect them to remember that I'm not a fan of base insults.
Here is where we part ways. I've never been a fan of Trump and I developed a serious dislike of him during his first Presidential campaign back in 2016 when he said certain things about Mexican migrants from south of the U.S. border. John Oliver did a good piece on it:
I'll quote the part that turned me off of Trump permanently:
**
John Oliver: But let's let's face it, for many people, efficacy is beside the point. This wall is about making us feel safer. And here is where the racism and xenophobia that we put aside at the top of this piece really needs to be brought back. Because while other politicians have supported barriers at the border, Donald Trump has been uncommonly clear about who we need to be protected from.
Donald Trump: When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
John Oliver: Trump sounds like an angry villager running through the town square yelling, "Werewolves, run for your lives." Though some, I assume, are good werewolves, but they're here to kill you. With maybe a few exceptions, but mostly werewolves, run! Run from the werewolves! Werewolves love me, and I love werewolves, but they're here to kill all of us. But about that, because while yes, individual undocumented immigrants have committed horrible crimes so, obviously, have American citizens. And in fact researchers consistently find that immigrants are less not more crime prone than their native born counterparts. The crime rates among immigrants once here are relatively tiny digits...

As to the pedophilia thing, I think the following article is on the right track- essentially, that there's no solid evidence that he's done anything with minors, but there is certainly -some- evidence that he has:
I Don’t Know If Donald Trump Is a Pedophile, and I Don’t Know Why TikTok Banned Me
But I have opinions about both

In the case of the author above, he was removed from Tiktok soon after he made his views known, for reasons that were apparently never clarified.

"Those of you that don't know me or my family might not know that my daughter has Down Syndrome," state Sen. Mike Bohacek, R-Michiana Shores, wrote on Facebook. "This is not the first time our president has used these insulting and derogatory references and his choices of words have consequences."
