I hate when people used the word 'retard' or 'retarded' as a derogatory term.
The dictionary says "to make slow; delay the development or progress of (an action, process, etc.); hinder or impede."
I wouldnt be mad if people used it properly, like "this suit is used to retard fire, it is a fire retardant suit"
The people themselves arent retarded
Their learning may be retarded (slowed down) but that shouldnt stop them from doing what they want
Like seriously, how hard is it to find another word for 'stupid'
not to say that handicapped people are stupid!
I mean, look at people who "suffer" from disorders
Theres something like 25% of people that work for NASA that are dyslexic
And people with autism have amazing memory
So people with "disorders" or "disabilities" arent really disabled, they're gifted
thats my rant. enjoy.
