As a society how weak have we become that words have to be retired...

I don't know why anyone stops using certain words if they want to use them. Be a fricking man, own your shite. Its the silliest wimpiest shite I ever heard of....
On the other hand I don't know why one would want to use them other than them having a limited vocabulary and being inarticulate....again, that's on them, not the rest of us. If your too damned stupid to communicate in a manner which puts your ignorance on display by all means you do you boo....

My kids are as woke as any 15 and 25 year olds are.....everything is offensive to them....but everything is also gay. Their friends are the same. I ask them how it is they supposedly support gay people yet use the term to describe anything in a negative light....they are of the opinion that I am too old to understand and they are spot on correct....coupled with the fact that I don't really give a frick...

Awesome, I’m back in the good graces as I’ve never stopped saying the word.

Article should have been: Retarded: How a normal word was shoehorned into being labeled a 'slur'

There's an episode of the Office where Michael outs Oscar as gay, and he talks about not calling a retarded person retarded.
Comedy Central doesn't bleep out the first retarded, but bleeps out the rest of them when its "used as a slur"

Good. Frick the true anti first amendment police.
Glenn Beck is going after these lefties over this melt by them. Retard is a word. All Words are free to be used. If you are a weak minded person that’s on you. No matter what race you are.

was told by my co-op a couple of months ago that referring to someone from the far east as Oriental was racist
My elderly, reclusive, and staunchly MSNBC indoctrinated parents still use the word Oriental to refer to asian people. Both were shocked to learn it was a slur now.
It makes me want to make up other words they use and say they are racist. They live so apart from every day society I could craft an entirely different language amongst them.

When did “retard” ever go out of style?

When disability is framed as a lack, limitation or loss, it reinforces the idea that people with disabilities are inherently incapable
The hypocrisy is so thick here - disabled literally means a lack, limitation, or loss of ability. Literally.

Probably because you speak in circles, never actually saying anything, so your children get tired of listening and just tune you out.

Retard is one of the best words ever created.
