Personally, if I was mentally retarded, I would be most offended by being called a liberal.

Seriously, though...It's not question of PC...it's a question of class.

USe another phrase for ignorant..

How about Mental Midget?

OK, so what other words out of the English language should we not be using then? It'd be nice to have a list to refer to.

I believe MAW and Mentally incapacitated are synonimous.

I like big boobs, but not to big. Perfect size is the best imo.

I spent many years as a Special Education teacher (Developmentally Disabled). CP does not equal retardation. Many of my students had CP , yet were taking college level courses. I took one young man with CP to the International Special Olympics. We had a great time. He was a chick magnet.
