heaven forbid anyone spends their time trying to get something worthwhile done… instead of making a big deal out of stupid shit like this
I’m going to use the word retard as often as possible.
dont be so insensitive!!! those poor little r words dont have anyone fighting for them. they dont want to be subjugated like the jews and blacks. its not there fault they were born retarded. i mean r worded
I use all those words daily. If you are so offended by a word then you need help.
I used the word retard today, to a retarded kids dad. FML.
this thread is retarded
That campaign is retarding the 1st Amendment. That’s retarded.
How is using the R-Word better than actually using retard. Everyone knows what the R word is or the N-word is, let’s just cut out the middle man.
R-Word ed N-Word ers
oops lol
“He also reportedly invited Special Olympic athletes to Pennsylvania Avenue to… give him tips…”
someone should let the ARC know that retard is no longer a politically correct term
i didnt know there was a
SP-C lol?
and every other word on that cover are more powerful than calling someone a retard. and i’ve never actually referred to a retarded person as a "retard:
The problem is, Retard is a real word that just so happens to be used as slang. People need to stop being such pussies.
I can’t stand it when someone gets mad at me for using the word “retard.” When did it become such a negative? If someone is slower, then they are retarded. It means to be slowed down…wtf is the problem?

While I know what you’re getting at… what are YOU (not you specifically) doing with your life? What’s your fight?
Somebody (or sombodys) decided that THIS was their fight. They could have done nothing. Would that be better?
I’m not defending the campaign, just that a lot of people make the same argument as the above, which essentially boils down to:
-You are complaining about someone else complaining
-You are also insinuating that, even though they are trying to do SOMETHING, they should work on a more “worthwhile” cause, while you sit around and do NOTHING.
It’s like being a hypocrite X2.
Again, this is isn’t directed at any one person, and I’m sure I’m guilty of the same, to a degree.
haha and gay used to be used as happy…by definition it still does, but we all know how it’s being used.
Times change…
Sometimes I wish I was retarded.
They don’t have a care in the world, no problems, no stress. I wish someone would feed me and wipe my ass for me!
So in the end, are mentally retarded people offended by the word retard? Probably not.
