I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

I think Marvin Eastman's goats vagina was worse. But no worries TS, it's just water under the fridge.

Hey friend,

Might you consider lightening up on the use of the 'r' word? It's diminishing, damaging, and unkind and makes many of our friends and loved ones with special needs feel like outsiders and less than human. It's unnecessary and unkind, and though using it can be an easy habit to fall into, with a little forethought and if we are mindful and cognizant of it and and our behaviour, we can eliminate it and the harm it causes.

Give it some thought, please.

Thanks pal.

The use of the term "mental retardation" is itself a euphemism meant to increase the dignity of those who suffer from various conditions that hinder full development of the human intellect. Before that, folks with such conditions were technically referred to as "idiots".

So while I think you have a great point, the issue isn't the word itself being used, but that people will always use comparisons to such conditions as insults. The word retarded in itself is not inherently insulting at all.

Yes, it was very funny the first time it was posted.
 
I still got your face
Painted on my heart
Drawn upon my soul
Etched upon my memories, baby

You didn't say mental retardation, you called some one a retard.

In this instance, the word was used as an insult with the necessary consequence of he negative connotation.

As far as the comparison, therein lies the inherently insulting part.

The context was "retard" as in the person was stupid or dumb. Our friends and loved ones that live with mental retardation, as you put it, are neither stupid nor are they dumb, they are different.

In any event, I am simply asking you to reconsider a very demeaning and hurtful word for the sake of our loved ones that are different.

I didn't call anyone a retard, idiot. I have too much respect for the people I know suffering with mental retardation to do that.
