Politically “Incorrect”

The word “retard” does not offend me in any way. I understand that the accepted term for a retarded person is “mentally handicapped,” but I honestly don’t give a shit. Retard, retard, retard.
“Hey you guyyyyyyssss!”
The word “retard” is recognized in the English dictionary as a slang term for a mentally retarded person. Look for yourself.
Well, I’ll be damned!
Referring to a person with a mental handicap as “retarded” is just our lazy way of not having to pronounce more words. It’s like calling someone “black” instead of the 7-syllable term “African American.” Hehe, I know you just counted that out with your fingers. Nobody gets pissed about that and most black people are brown anyway. So why all the fuss about this word?
A nation autism group, Autism United, is demanding an apology from CBS after airing an episode in which a contestant said he would spend his winnings on a hair salon for people with developmental disabilities “so retards can get it together and get their hair done.” His political incorrectness was immediately corrected by another contestant, to which he replied, “Disabled kids. I can call them whatever I want. I work with them all day, OK?”
That’s why Autism United has dragged the national media into their apology campaign? Give me a fucking break. First of all:
1) Retarded people generally are in need of new haircuts.
Notice the dull, lifeless hair this boy has. Somebody get him some highlights and a nice emo sweep!
BAM! He’s a ladykiller now.
2) It’s a fucking reality show. If you think CBS should be held responsible for their contestants’ points of view, then maybe we are mistaken who the real retards are.

I once knew a girl whom took great offense when anyone used the "r" word. And ya know, if you're talking about someone with a an actual mental hindrance, then yeah, I think it's a little insensitive. But I call people retards all the time. Pretty sure I've called you a retard more times than I care to count. And why not? We're all a little slow sometimes.

I know enough people who are offended by the word “retard” that I only enjoy using it in the privacy of my own home, along with the word “nigger” and “midget.” Ahh, guilty pleasures.

Autistic people are not fucking retarded, there are some people who have dual diagnosis of mental retardation and autism, but if you have a person who is just on the autism spectrum, they can function on a normal basis, with a little work.
Besides, there is a difference between a fucking retard and a mentally challenged person. A retard can help themselves, but just choose to be too fucking stupid to do so, and a mentally challenged person cannot help themselves. Why should this guy apologize anyway, what the fuck ever happened to freedom of speech?
