One thing that bothers me so much that I just want to scream everytime I hear it is when people use the term retard.
"Are you retarded?"
"Oh my God that's so retarded!"
Are you kidding me? How rude are you? No one really needs to use that word, no matter what they're referring to! I just feel like everything is "retarded" or "Gay". When people say things like this it really hurts me. I'm sure no one would say "Holy cow that's so straight." Or "You're so average!" Because people think that being straight or normal is well.. normal. Maybe homo sexuals think it's odd that you like the opposite sex. And cut them some slack, they can love and do whatever they want. And it's not like disabled people chose to be born that way. I wish people would have a little bit more respect.
Stop using the R word!!

According to the Urban Dictionary, a retard is a person born with a mental condition and therefore has to work a million times harder to be able to do simple things (such as learn and communicate) that we take for granted.
Why use a word that means that to describe others or things? "My phone is "retarded."" There're better choices of words than 'retarded.' "My phone's not working properly," now what's so hard about saying that?
"The people who choose to make fun of the mental retarded tend to be complete morons and cannot comprehend that these people have feelings and emotions just like anyone else."
