Yea, I said it. That word that gets everyone’s panties bunchy.
The thing is that the word is not “bad”. I quote:
relatively slow in mental or emotional or physical development
What the fuck man? Seriously, it describes a mental condition. At what point did accurate representations become politically incorrect? I’m not retarded, I’m mentally challenged. At what point will the phrase “mentally challenged” become offensive?
I’m not fat, I have an overactive appitite coupled with a lack of excersise desire.
It’s fucking rediculous, but not as rediculous as the apparent 29,000 people who signed a petition vowing never to use the word RETARDED again. Hopefully none of whom are mechanics that need to describe cam timing, which can be advanced, or RETARDED.
Hey DeLonte, what’s cracking?
Nuttin’ homie.
Hey dog, herd you got sickle cell anemia.
Nigga what’d you say about me?
I ‘erd you have the disease ’sickle-cell anemia’
Man, you can’t just go around saying the “medical” name for the condition I have. That’s wrong. What I really have is “red-blood cell shape irregularities due to a hemoglobin cell mutation”. Nigga, I thought you was my friend.
You may notice my blatant capitalization of the word RETARDED. That’s because for each of the 29,000 people who vowed not to use the word, I’m going to use it weekly. That’s a little over 4,100 times daily. Maybe you can sign my petition vowing to use the word RETARDED so it takes a little burden off of myself.
Anyways, without further ado (this will get me started):

agree.
RETARD! Its a f*cking word for shits sake. like toaster, spoon, bike, cock, balls.
I mean come on, I bet 90% of the time the word is used, it is used in these two contexts:
“that’s just retarded”
or
speaking to your buddy who is not mentally challenged “you are a retard”
No person with any sort of morals or ethics is going to go up to some mentally challenged person and call them a retard. Honestly.
wtf

Whats wrong with calling a retarded person retarded? Does it make them feel better to be mentally challenged? This really takes me back to senior design. They are not handicapped, they are physically challenged or something like that.

If you guys watched the video, they want people to call them mentally challenged.
I can make mentally challenged sound incredibly hurtful. In fact, I think I’m going to change up my stance on the word. Anytime I want to call someone retarded because they are temporarily acting retarded, I’m going to call them “mentally challenged”.
Then in five years when retarded people start getting their feelings hurt when people call them mentally challenged (which is by then a hurtful thing to say), I can start saying retarded again.
What a fucking retarded conversation.

How dare they make a typo. From now on, I will definetely not make any more mispellings. After all, I’m only trying to recieve praise here, how am I supposed to do that when I’m making stupid misstakes.
After eight years of college, and a masters degree that I should be able to at least spell correctly. Well, by the look of the calander I need to wrap this non-humerous rant up.

What’s wrong with it, is that people with developmental disabilities don’t want to be associated with a word that has changed meaning over time. Retarded is no longer a descriptive term for someone with cognitive delays – it’s now a word used to insult people or things. Gov. Ted Strickland just signed senate bill 79 – in 90 days it will become law that organizations can strike out the term ‘mental retardation’ from their organizations name, because of the negative stigma. That’s all…
All citizens should have the right to be called what they want. Not what you think they should be called.

Thank God for Gov. Strickland using our tax dollars to foot the bill which is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to get signs changed because people don’t want to be associated with a word which describes what they are.
The main issue is the topic of political correctness and how it affects efficiency and money. Yes, for the time being “Developmental Disabilities” sounds much “nicer” than retarded, but in time it will carry the same negative meaning.
Are we really just to keep inventing words and changing agencies names every so often?
