All the looks and things people would say when they thought you could not hear them will turn your stomach. I hope none of you ever have to experience the "humor" at the expense of your 1st born child. KMA

Post by: SOB on September 22, 2003, 10:09:06 PM: That sucks RPM, but it doesn't begin to explain to me why I should stop using the word retarded. If it offends you, that sucks too, but it doesn't mean I'm gonna stop using the word. I hope you have fonder memories of your daughter than just what negative things people felt compelled to say about her.

How you cannot see this is beyond me.

Maybe you could make use of generic terms such as stupid, ignorant, etc.

Post by: muckmaw on September 23, 2003, 08:40:14 AM: Personally, if I was mentally retarded, I would be most offended by being called a liberal.:D

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

USe another phrase for ignorant..

How about Mental Midget?

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.
