Retard isn't offensive. Half of the retards don't even know what it means. And the other half use that word. It's the people who think it's offensive that need to lie about it hurting special kids. If you called a special kid retarded with the happiest voice they probably wouldn't know the difference. Just like a dog does.

What about all the mothers? If you have a retarded child and people use it as an insult, don't you think that'd be quite offensive to them? Nobody asks to have a retarded child. It IS offensive. People shouldn't use labels as insults. It could be fag, retarded, muslim, or whatever you can think of.

Most people on here are in the unfavored category of people. (No offense fellow FJ'ers. But there's way more abercrombie derp fags than us.) Retard is not an offensive word. People who think it is usually have a special-needs person that is close to them, and they get all aggravated even though said- special needs person probably won't take any offense to it or even care.

Really? Think about that for a second. Autistic people have a pretty good sense of understanding concepts. Could you imagine what it must be like to be insulted as a label when the "good" version of you has nothing bad against them? Nobody says, "Haha! What a mentally normal thing to say!" There are special people who indeed take it as an insult. Stop using that as an argument.
I think we're on different pages. I'm more along the lines of DS. You are leaning more towards Autism. I don't think autistic kids are retarded in the least. But if you don't like the label "retard", then why are you putting autistic kids into the category?

If you want to say that, there are indeed DS people who have enough mental capacity to understand that being retarded is a bad thing. I consider autistic kids "retarded" because they're mentally less capable than normal people. It's different when I refer to "retard" because I am not using it in a negative connotation.
