I had a niece that passed away 2 years ago that was mentally slow.She had people calling her that name and others like you using it in such a demeaning way that just hurt her she would cry from the cruel comments and use of that word.What is wrong with you that you need to use this word for expression with so many others are available to express your views or thoughts.Buy a thesaurus and learn some new words and learn how to use them.

Definition of RETARDED
: slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress

Mentally slow has to have a similar definition. Not trying to derail this thread, I'm just wondering who determined that the word 'retarded' has to be derogatory.

I like this one. But it shouldnt just be level 79's imo.

Stop being so sensitive. Saying something is retarded or calling someone retarded on a video game is different from picking on a person with a mental disability.

No its not.

Its why white people don't "drop the N bomb" in public and why gays shouldn't have to hear "faggot". Its intent. Its the idea behind the word.

You calling something retarded ain't a compliment.

Using a word as an insult clearly applies a negative connotation to that word.

Don't be a lamp.

I see it as simple as this, if you call someone that word, you're going to get banned. Especially if it's malicious, I think part of the reality to most of the rules is that context is everything.

This thread is getting badly off track...
