We'll see what all of those who made smart ass remarks here have to say when a mental disability afflicts their family. For all the smart ass remarkers - 20% of people born in this country are born with a disability. Think about when you have children, 1 in 5 will have a disability. One more thing, I'm sure all of you that made those remarks are absolutely perfect. You not a geek, too thin, too fat, perfect complexion, perfect teeth, don't wear glasses, are popular, etc.

Notice, they aren't asking us to treat other people with real respect and dignity. They Just want us to change the exact words. They don't care if people speak with hate, they just want people to say it in a nicer way. Still, In the US we have this thing called the first amendment which protects ALL speech. From the most polite musings to the most hateful racist speech. As long as I have that right, I will talk as I please Maybe we should stop making rules and start making a little more sense.

if "retard" is such a bad word, then why did he say it twice?

[ivanova88]

the evil word will end in 2013 when the new DSM 5 comes out. yay

[AshleyError]

In a "modern" world, how can we still use words with such hate attached to them? We're not supposed to be racist or sexist, but we can discriminate people on their mental status? Why is that?
