I agree with you completely.

He IS retarded, and there is NOTHING wrong with that word.

I should have pointed out that making fun of someone for being retarded is about the most despicable thing I can imagine.

Not really, I guess, but then I have a vivid imagination. It’s plenty bad, though.

Retard has come to mean stupid. Retard means slow, noun or verb. Retardare is Latin for “to slow.” Rétard in French means slow.

It’s considered offensive, but it’s really just a word. Yes, in the sense of a sufferer of Down’s Syndrome, it’s appropriate. Is it insensitive? Depends on the person.

I’m tired of political correctness.

And yet he’s still smarter than Harry Reid.
