Why do people still use 'retarded' to describe things that are stupid? Whenever they do, all I hear is:
I'm an insensitive prick.
You're still going on about that?

So I'm not the only one that talks to walls? Phew that makes me feel better, I thought I was going crazy
I usually don't talk out loud. So technically I'm talking to myself, but that's not as cool.
Thats cool I sometimes project my thoughts into the wall to see if its listening too, the wall isn't very talkative though

I don't think he ever really stopped. It's like something is retarding his ability to drop an argument.

I'll add you, if you want.
Also, I have opted to begin watching the remake of Battlestar Galactica on Netlflix. Wish me luck.
But then I'll talk you to death, and I kind of like you alive. Or we won't talk at all and I will just stare at your name forever.
Lol; now that would be funny to observe heh.

In sweden people call each other cerebral palsy, way more offensive. And kind of hilarious.
Everything you say is just so cerebral palsy. It's like you're mentally cerebral palsy.
Not as fun. I think I'll just keep saying retarded.

It's extremely offensive to me. Why should I 'drop it'? I've worked with retarded people. I've seen them grow old, and love, and die. They've come to my wedding, laughed, cried, and been human. They are honest, and hard working. They have difficult times, and deserve respect. When their plight is compared to everything 'stupid', why shouldn't I say something? Why should you guys turn it into some kind of joke?In sweden people call each other cerebral palsy, way more offensive. And kind of hilarious.

You guys are trying to pressure me into reacting emotionally. You really don't need to. I already find it emotional. If anything, adding lulz to this makes me feel better. If you are going to be disrespectful to people who deserve your respect, then disrespecting me is entirely appropriate. Id rather be on the side of retards than yours.

Mt opinion on the matter-
People who are "Medically retarded" generally aren't referred to as "retarded." People have respect for people with a medical illness. It isn't their fault that they were born that way or had a traumatic event causing there loss of I.Q.
Retarded, in essense means slow. The English language is greatly derived from the French language as many of the founders of the language spoke french. The french word"Retard" means late, similar to the latin word for late "Tardus." So using retarded as an insult is saying someone is late in their thinking, or they were being slow/stupid.
Comparing this to racism is just completely ridiculous. A person isborn a certain race, which does not have any specific effect on their behavior. People who are racist, assign a specific non-existant trait to a specific race. As a result they use a derrogatory term for that race to insult someone. Retard on the other hand, in many cultures means slow or late. Therefore the literal definition of "you are being retarded" is "you are being slow." WhileI believe use of the word retarded repeatedly shows a lack of vocabulary and showing a lack of intelligence, using it as an insult or adjective is not meant to be an attack at those who are medically retarded.

It's helpful when people who disagree with me say foolish things, repeatedly. Perhaps you could also rub yourself with feces. Anything to make the point that you have no respect for anything. Thanks.
