Poll: does the word "retarded" offend you?

[notfred]

Used in a context in which it does not refer to people. Example:

It's seems kind of retarded to put $2000 rims on a $500 car.

 

[Platypus]

words don't offend me, so no.

 

[QuitBanningMe]

No.

no and it pisses me off it offends others. GA won't let me have the vanity plate "Ztard"...............

 

[Mo0o]

No. For some reason the only word that irks me is f*g, not even the n word really irks me.

wtf is wrong with saying fog? 😛

No, it doesn't offend me. But there are a lot of other words that would carry your point more clearly. Since a person who would be 'retarded' would clearly not have a car to put those rims on, the word doesn't really say what you want it to mean. It would make you sound retarded if you used it that way.

Yes it does...."Only someone with an IQ of <70 would put those rims on their car"

[Penth]

No, and neither does "She is a retard" or "Stop being retarded"

 

[lavagirl669]

no offense taken to that at all

 

[imported_Mike]

FYI, your poll is retarded....WTF is with that first option?

 

[mdchesne]

why do people get upset anyways? even if your younger borther is a mental retard with crippling side affects, retard is a real medical term. Just like you say "that chemical is meant to retard the reaction". it's a word people, with a valid definition. I don't know why some people take so much offense

exactly. it's the people who take offense to it that makes it a big deal. Like krauts, back in WWII. Know why it's not a "bad" word today? Cause noone took offense to it like we do today over cracker, beloved patriot, jew, etc. again, words people

Goes along with my theory, which of course was pobably someones else's firat, that nothing is offensive. People become offended and others cannot be held accountable for the emotional variability of others.........
