americans use this word casually far too often, its offensive and if i heard anyone say it next to any handicapped kid/adult id shame them on the spot... might even give them a slap
fuckin retards always trying to tell other people what they can say, worse than ni ggers.
your right. My buddies kid has Downs Syndrome and I said retard a few times and he blew up on me. Of course he always said it prior to that but I try to watch it now.
But Downs ARE retarded...maybe your buddy hasn't accepted that yet.
Damn, what word can Getbiggers use now?http://inamerica.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/08/ending-the-r-word-ban-it-or-understand-it/?iref=obinsite
It is not offensive to most, cause only a stupid person would say that word in front of a handicapped person.
