I think it's only insulting when it's used to describe people who are literally retarded. I prefer to use the term "slow" for those people because it sounds nicer, and they're people with feelings. Using the word "retard" or "retarded" with friends when they're acting crazy/funny isn't bad though.
IIN I'm bothered that people are bothered by the term 'retard'?
