  • I did not read the body of the question.
    But, IMHO.
    The Term " RETARD"
    Is and has been for a while, Redundant!
    Anybody who has themselves a child with special needs will surely agree, how much more enriching life is.... Just because God chose a certain few people, like my partner and I. For such a special and precious gift.
    I am one of the luckiest fathers I know, because my son never ceases to amaze me with his different perspective on life.

      • The word is offensive and has no use whatsoever when used in the circumstances described here, when referring to people who are a little different and quirky, even maybe a little eccentric. Just because someone can't fully understand somebody else it doesn't make them retarded.
