[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I have a retarded brother. He is mentally retarded. The word retarded does not bother me. What bothers me is that my brother will never walk or feed himself. Find something real to be unhappy about.[/quote] +1. I have someone in my extended family with Downs. "Retarded" doesn't bother me and I have used it myself in the past! Someone mentioned "that's so gay"--I have also said this! And yet....I am very supportive of the gay community and rights, as well as with people with disabilities. So, ask her not to say it around YOU. That's completely reasonable to ask. But overall these sort of phrases are assigned far too much weight. [/quote] +2[/quote]
