    		 I actually didn't realize "retarded" was so offensive. I know they recently changed the special education program's term for it to avoid the word, but I figured it was just a local thing from our super-stingy school system.

    No, its a real campaign to end the word retarded. They even call it the r-word.

    Haha, that dyke would have a fucking stroke if she heard the shit my coworkers and i say to each other all the time. Almost every word in that PSA is heard on an almost daily basis....but they left out so many good ones.

    Besides, banning certain words just gives rise to new ones. Ban the word "retarded" and people start saying "window licker", ban the word "chink" and people use the phrase "9-iron". Not only that but the added stigma will only increase the appeal to many.

    		 Wow, what a bitch. As Shazbot said, "banning" the word just makes it all that more appealing anyway. I'm glad we live in a society that counters unnecessary censorship so much.

    What makes it worse is that "retard" was never used as a slur against retarded people, it was just how their condition was referred to and became an insult (mostly only among groups of friends) because of that. If the word for it was "sputable" then people would be saying that instead. And conversely, whatever they plan on changing it to, if it actually became official or whatever, will become an insult soon enough. At my old high school, they changed the term to "Emotionally Disturbed," or ED - which, in my opinion, sounds worse than retard, and the initials becoming a joke among the students and staff.

    		 I wonder if calling something stupid will soon be seen as a slight against stupid people.

    		 The only thing that is "retarded" is making a protest about "hurtful words". I have that on good authority. Nooger!

    		 I dream of a world where people can throw around the word "nooger" without prejudice.
