Talk:Short bus

message: The end of the article is rather insulting and unnecessary.  What purpose does including all of the offensive and slang terms serve?  I know that Wikipedia is not censored, but at the same time, we don't go around and add things like "Britney Spears is also somtimes referred to as a "skank, slut, piece of trash," etc.  It just seems a little unnecessary and innappropriate.  Should we also add "Children sufferring from Down's Syndrome are sometimes called idiots, retards, etc."  I certainly hope not.  Anybody see my point? Wikipediarules2221 17:52, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is not insulting anyone.  It is defining the term and stating facts about common usage of the word, which go far beyond what could be found in a dictionary, just like the wikipedia articles on Nigger, Kike, Cunt, etc.   If those articles should stay, then clearly so should this.   130.126.246.122 05:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Those articles make some effort at providing content above and beyond a list of synonyms and a fake story.  If you want to take some time and research this topic, by all means feel free to do so.

replies: text: no.  This is an article on slang.  Yes, in this artcile Wiki is more like a dictionary than in the average article, and I have no problem with that.  But being more like a dictionary entry, people looking this up are interested in slang, and listing equivalents is dictionary-like and may be helpful to someone researching slang.  Comparatively, calling Britney Spears a slut would not help anyone researching her.  As for being insulting, I may find critics' dislike of Yes's album "Topographical Oceans" to be insulting, but I don't erase that information.  If anyone chooses to erase this section again, I would ask you to please further defend your reasons.  156.56.193.5 23:44, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

This article should be merged with the School bus article already here.And this article seems kind of small and seems not to really stand alone as a serious article,I think this should be merged....--Sammy theeditor (talk) 23:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
