That's a bad word Amythumbdown

It is prohibited in my home:nod:

No my kids arent allowed to say that either. I hadnt even heard of such a word before until my 5 yr old came home from kindergarten last week and told me I was one and I was like WTF? So I asked his sister what on gods green earth that was and she told me thats what the "new" thing the kids are saying.

I know I know, we're sensitive to it because we have a special needs kid, and that new Ben Stiller movie from what I have heard abuses that word pretty bad, terms like "Don't go full retard" stuff like that, so our chapter of Cure Autism Now is boycotting it

:eek are you serious? What movie is that?

And I dont think your sensitive at all. Its always good to hear that parents arent allowing their kids certain languange rather than some parents allowing their kids to say any and everything they please. Im sure you have heard some rather shocking things come out of some kids mouths that their parents dont care that they say.

I guess there are folks that think it's still okay.....honestly I never really thought about it much until I started to hear it more often.

I never have/or will comsider my child retarted, so technically it never really hit close to home, but for some reason it began to sting a little more, then I realized it was basically as hurtful as a racial slur.

Now it makes me sick

i think thats disgusting, my cousin has autism, and i get really upset about this sort of thing, ....i should let it go over my head but i dont...
And as for a film, in this day and age, being made with that shit in it?...shocking.

 

[Mrs Behavin]

I havent heard of that movie. But from the sounds of it, its not something that I will be standing in the front of the line to see.

Hey Wedz-

Join the crowd here.. There's a bunch of us that support Autism Awareness on this forum!


I agree... it makes me sick to hear that word...

 

[Obdurate]

OMG, the admin just neg repped ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hell. How did you get so lucky?

 

[Zorak]

It's not that bad, in my opinion.

I think of it like "gay", kids are always calling people gay.. but they don't think they're actually homosexual.

I'm not gay so it doesn't bother me, is it right...No and the use of the word retard, is not neccesary....at all I can't see anyone thinking that it's okay:unsure:

*Pole dances*

 

[wednesday]

I understand ur statement zorak...but there is nothing wrong with being gay, as such, thats a matter of lifestyle choice...its not a medical condition, it doesnt effect peoples lifes....

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

I never meant to turn this into a debate thread.......My bad

 

[Jersey]

Perhaps its just me... But I dont use the word "gay" loosely either.

I curse when I'm calling names!!! :ninja

 

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

I tell people they're retarded all the time. I guess I never thought about it b/c I don't associate it w/ special needs. For some reason my brain doesn't make the connection and I just think of it as people doing bonehead stuff.

But I resolve to do better and try not to say that word.
