But there is literally no excuse to call someone retarded or even use that word considering it has been known to discriminate and marginalize a whole group of people. Regardless of intention, or if others have said something worse in their past. If you cannot insult someone in a logical way without using words that belittle a whole group of people your intelligence level is lacking. Furthermore, many of you are in for a rude awakening the real world looks down on it just as much as people do on here. Let that word slip in a professional setting, and then bang you could potentially lose your job as quick as that. It is easy to hide behind words on a dying Big Brother website with no moderators. But words in real life have very meaningful consequences people have lost their jobs over less severe things, or accidentally letting the word slip.
mathboy9 It is 9 in the morning on a day off, and I am about to go out on a day trip with some of my colleagues nothing really to do before then but thanks for your concern
Memphis_grizzlies I mean everything I said is the truth, and I dont run around using that word. Not hard to come off as a moral authority when you all act like a bunch of miscreants that have no clue how the real world works :)
