If you are so upset about the R word than you are a P word. Lacking in the reading comp dept? Where the F do you see that the word "retard" upset me? Sorry, I'm not a man bun soy drinker that get's "offended" by anything in this world. Hopefully one day in the near future, America's nutsack will drop again. My comment was not aimed at you parademon. I was just further supporting your comment. The you is for people who are upset with it.

Why point a finger at those with family members affected by mental illness? How about a little compassion instead?

"R" word? Really? Sad times we live in when a word offends someone's wittle feelings. Telling me, after I watch the weather on fox news in the morning, I turn the shit off.

Like many things social there are grey areas. Many people still are ok with comments like that and some arent. I remember being told that about using the word retarded when I was kid 45 years ago.

Just fed up with this BS PC soy drinking society we now live in. Wonder what ever happened to sticks & stones? Guess that was when the country still had a pair. i get that and I am a virulent defender of free speech. I agree with you that they're just words, however I'm not sure it's reasonable to expect everyone to share our views. This is where the common courtesy and compassion comes in and yes, it's very very subjective. I'm guessing that given enough information about your and your family I could probably string together a couple of words and sentences that would offend you. And no, I'm not offering to do so.

If this was used at someone with mental illness, it is wrong, but this was the same as someone calling a normal person a dumbass. We are restricting the vocabulary just because it might upset someone. I'm done. Back to talking football.

Sorry, this ol Jarhead isn't 'offended" by any words. Like I said, "sticks & stones".

Can we say that this discussion is an example of 'retardism'?

Only for those that are "offended" by the word.

Would the opposite of 'retardism' be 'accelerism', and would that be a micro-offense to slow-pokes?

If this helps put some perspective on it, I see and hear many people (especially young adults) joyfully using "b", "c", and "n" words toward each other, and in song, that would seem to apply to them. I've never heard retarded people or their families doing that, there's really nothing funny about what they have to live with on a daily basis.

can someone say "human decency"?? Thats what it comes down to.
You dont have to be offended by a word to have the common courtesy not use it.

We are restricting the vocabulary just because it might upset someone. The use of the word in a simple generalization by your standards in ignorant .If you have to resort to the name calling and use of a word like that which is very hurtful to people who have to deal with a mental handicap in any way shape or form then....and using your own words don't BE a "dumb-ass" and use the word"dumb-ass" instead. I chose dumb-ass because that is the description I use. I just hope it doesn't upset the animal rights folks.
